Mechanical and Process Equipment Performance Monitoring
Real-time performance monitoring and diagnostic analysis of critical mechanical and process machinery
Develop a predictive maintenance program thereby maximizing equipment performance.
Increase throughput and availability.
Achieve and maintain optimum equipment performance.
As the performance of all mechanical equipment declines over time, the efficiency of the equipment will decrease, throughput will reduce and operating costs will rise. If the performance is allowed to continue to decline the cost in reduced productivity will account for lost revenue. In addition, maintenance on mechanical and process equipment tends to be carried out when problems occur. In certain cases, entire maintenance teams are employed to ensure that equipment is available 24/7 and able to cope with the increased demands on production.
The key to preserving long-term performance is a source of information that lets personnel move beyond reactive situations and move towards predictive planning allowing maintenance and cleaning cycles to be scheduled appropriately. AMS™ Suite, part of the Online Machinery Monitoring solution and integral to Emerson’s PlantWeb® digital plant architecture, provides the source of information required to monitor equipment performance easily and comprehensively, improving maintenance planning and competing more effectively.
AMS Suite is available as an onsite real-time system integrated to the process control and vibration monitoring system, or as a diagnostic analysis service to evaluate and support maintenance and operational planning. Numerous key performance indicators and additional customized reports are available in AMS Suite providing a comparison of current equipment performance to those if it were at design condition.
