Austin,
Texas, June 28, 2005 - Emerson
Process Management has released version
4.0 of AMS™ Suite: Equipment
Performance Monitor that enables users
to predict future performance of
mechanical and process equipment. The
new release adds unique Predictive
Analyst capability that supports
predictive and proactive maintenance
strategies, leading to increased plant
availability and performance, and
reduced maintenance costs. The new release expands the
predictive technology that powers
Emerson’s PlantWeb® digital plant
architecture. The AMS Performance Monitor’s new Predictive Analyst
capability analyzes current performance
of equipment as compared with original
design, and then predicts how equipment
will be operating in future months. The
tool determines when degraded
performance will occur, enabling
users to plan maintenance activities
well in advance. Results
are displayed both as the ‘time to
warning’ and as a graphical
representation so users can view the
expected degradation curve, and values
for any given period. In addition, PDF
reports can be generated and e-mailed,
including the configuration data and the
generated results.
The Predictive Analyst
in AMS Performance Monitor provides
users with the ability to:
-
Predict asset performance for a
specified operating period.
-
Predict the date(s) that asset
performance will fall below specified values.
-
Predict
the number of operating hours before a
warning status is triggered.
“We are constantly looking at
methods and technological advantages to
help our customers run their process
more efficiently and save both
operational and maintenance costs. This
latest version of AMS Performance
Monitor provides another mechanism to
enable the move to proactive
maintenance,” commented Craig
Llewellyn, president of the Asset
Optimization division of Emerson Process
Management. “By using the Predictive
Analyst capability, users can maximize
the benefits of looking ahead and
planning maintenance strategies to
improve the availability of critical
plant assets.”
