Remote Advisor Assist Saving you steps
Remote Advisor Assist What you’ll see in the lab
You simply verify the contact details, add any comments and click the ‘Submit’ button.
Your request + instrument diagnostics are automatically gathered and sent to Agilent
Remote Advisor Assist What the Agilent Support Center sees
Agilent sees a diagnostic view of your instrument including:
– Configuration – Serial numbers – Instrument log files
We do not see your methods, results or desktop.
Remote Advisor Alert
What if you could PROACTIVELY prevent instrument problems before they occur?
Remote Advisor Alert Notifies you by text or email when an instrument needs your attention
- When instrument system errors occur
- When maintenance thresholds are reached
Remote Advisor Alert What you’ll see in the lab
Every time the event occurs, Remote Advisor will send you a text or email within 15 minutes
Especially useful for extended runs or after-hours runs
Remote Advisor Report Reports available on-demand
Report Templates include: Lab at a Glance - inventory
Asset Report – individual availability and utilization
Availability & Utilization – capacity of your total inventory
Required Maintenance – usage
Module Movement – module tracking
Repair History – list of Agilent repair/maintenance visits
Column Injections – workload distribution
Remote Advisor Case Study: Streamline asset management
Global Top 5 Biotech company spending hours of analyst time on audit preparation activities. Challenge:
– Analysts time lost to non-productive work
– Consolidating paper-and-ink instrument logs and service records is a pain point
– Data accuracy is only as accurate as compliance to log- book usage
QC department approved the connection of 48 LC systems across 6 laboratories.
Remote Advisor Case Study: Streamline asset management
Remote Advisor Reports streamlined audit preparation – with inventory time reduced to only 1% of the time that it took before.
Remote Advisor proved to be a great application to help us prepare for the audit. Information directly from the instruments was available instantaneously which gave us a definite boost in terms of data quality, reliability and compliance. Senior Laboratory Manager Global Top 5 Biotech Company
Remote Advisor Reports used: Lab at a Glance (Inventory) Repair History
Remote Advisor Case Study: Improve utilization and reduce waste
In the “walk-up laboratory” where instruments are available for on-demand use, analysts frequently reported that they could not secure time for their analysis – especially in the afternoon. The lab manager was challenged to :
– Accurately track and measure system usage
– Identify ways to improve system utilization and more efficiently manage their inventory
Remote Advisor collected system utilization data from 8 HPLC/LCMS systems for one month.
Remote Advisor Case Study: Improve utilization and reduce waste
Remote Advisor shows that the systems are available 87% of the workweek – but are sitting in the ‘Ready-to-Run’ state.
– Systems are running analysis on average only 10 minutes a day between 1:00 and 2:00 p.m.
– Many systems see little more than 1 hour of use per day
Manager asked users to be more vigilant about releasing systems after their analyses are complete in order to open up capacity
Remote Advisor Reports used: Availability & Utilization Report
Remote Advisor Case Study: Improve utilization and reduce waste
Excessive Ready-to-Run time adds unnecessary cost
– Waste of consumables (e.g., lamps) and solvents (which must be disposed of)
– Decreases time between failures by causing wear on the system
Lab removed ~145 hours of Ready-to- Run time across the lab, resulting in:
– Reduced 14,000 hours of lamp time a year saving $6300
– Removed 14,000 hours of solvent waste
– Increased MTBF by 35% or 72 days

Agilent Enterprise Edition Innovation Agilent Compliance Engine
Agilent Compliance Engine (ACE) efficiently enforces compliance to procedure
– Fully automated protocol
– Reports free of transcription errors
– Automated pass/fail report
Agilent Enterprise Edition Case Study
Company manufacturing APIs. The QC Lab management team set out to significantly increase productivity and reduce costs as part of a Six Sigma commitment to continuous improvement. With more than 500 instruments from multiple manufacturers, the QC Lab was challenged to:
• Free chemists from routine maintenance
• Reduce instrument downtime
• Streamline the regulatory compliance process
Agilent Enterprise Edition Case Study
“A compliance qualification report review task that once took as long as three hours can now be accomplished in just 30 minutes – and with greater accuracy. It’s the solution our chemists have been looking for.” Principal Scientist
Company achieved real results:
• ~200 hours of PhD chemist time rescued from compliance-related work
• 80% reduction in QA review / approval time
• 55% less compliance-related downtime
• Compliance data now track trends, compare performance, and drive operational decisions
