AMS Suite combines predictive diagnostics with powerful analysis capabilities for mechanical equipment, electrical systems, process equipment, instruments and valves.
Emerson promises users a 2 percent improvement in plant efficiency with PlantWeb, including AMS Suite.
There are over 10,000 installations of Emerson predictive maintenance and optimisation applications worldwide, delivering proven quantified results with companies such as Dow, BP, Calpine, Thai Oil and Amerada Hess.
AMS Suite extends this Emerson leadership with new levels of functionality and value.
Wil Chin, Research Director of ARC Advisory Group, a leader in providing strategic planning and technology assessment services stated: "The Emerson AMS Suite: Asset Portal, should be welcomed by manufacturers managing a wide range of assets.
It is the first real Web solution that centralises the information in a common database to allow management of Emerson and third party assets from a common view, which is exactly what manufacturers are demanding".
The applications in the AMS Suite are integrated through extensive use of the latest technologies including web services, XML and.NET to create an environment for convenient yet secure access to information.
AMS Suite includes five separate functions.
Asset Portal: decision support, reporting and analysis on the health and performance of production assets.
Intelligent Device Manager: predictive and proactive maintenance of instruments and valves.
Machinery Health Manager: predictive and proactive maintenance through condition monitoring of mechanical equipment.
Equipment Performance Monitor: predictive and proactive maintenance performance monitoring of process and mechanical equipment.
Real-Time Optimiser: real-time economic optimisation of units, plants or multiple facilities based on changing conditions and business constraints.
PlantWeb Services support the implementation of AMS Suite and help users to maximise the value of their technology investment.
The services bring necessary expertise and work processes to integrate technology into existing plant operations.
PlantWeb Services include implementation, best practices consultation and on-going support.
"AMS Suite is unique in the breadth of production assets it is designed to support and the depth of analytical and decision-support capabilities it provides," said Craig Llewellyn, president of the Emerson Asset Optimisation division.
"Emerson is playing a key role in enabling process manufacturers to realise as much as a 5 percent increase in plant revenues with the AMS Suite and related PlantWeb Services.
As an integral part of the PlantWeb architecture, the AMS Suite supports Operator Driven Reliability.
PlantWeb Alerts can be routed to those in the organisation who need to know when an asset is causing a problem, whether that person is in maintenance, operations or management.
This truly drives decision-making for results.".
