Cummins AdvisorWhat is Advisor?

Advisor is a proactive Tool for Cummins OEMs, Application Engineers, and Sales People to help them select, and Design in, a Cummins engine such that it meets Cummins Installation Recommendations, and maximizes engine/machine performance for the End Customer

History of Advisor:

Advisor was created in 1994 to address a need to reduce recurring installation errors

Advisor is a Design & Reference Tool

Design Reviews• a process of planning and analyzing engine to machine interfaces and the application of the engine for the purpose of identifying and eliminating potential installation problems prior to actually building the machine

Installation Reviews • an audit of the first prototype or first production machine

Analytical Tools• stand alone versions of the analysis tools used in the Design Review (such as when you only want to run a cooling calculation)

Engine Database• filter and query engine database from A Series to QSK23

Technical Library• a library of the Cummins technical information the application engineer normally needs

Components• The Components folder provides direct access to technical information on hundreds of components

Components

The Components Folder provides direct access to technical information on hundreds of components. This component data is ‘linked’ to Advisor Design Reviews, and can be easily selected to build sub-systems (for example, a fuel filter part/option number can be selected from a drop down menu in the fuel tool to build the fuel system model)

Components are subdivided into type and manufacturer
