AMS Asset Monitor
Edge Analytics Can Change the Way You Monitor Assets
AMS Asset Monitor provides manufacturers benefits of continuous online monitoring for traditionally under-monitored balance-of-plant (BOP) machine assets.
Emerson’s award-winning edge analytics device and software solution utilizes CHARMs-based technology to collect vibration and process data from BOP assets. It applies embedded auto analytics to alert personnel to common faults for a wide range of assets like fans, motors, gearboxes, pumps, and other rotating machinery.
Although no additional software is required when using AMS Asset Monitor, reliability, operations, and maintenance personnel can move beyond simple fault recognition and take analysis a step further by integrating this device with AMS Machine Works.
Embedded Auto Analytics for Critical Assets
Simple Pumps
Pumps are essential to the daily operation of industrial processes, but begin to degrade the day they start up. It is estimated that pumps account for 7% of the total maintenance cost of a plant or refinery, and pump failures are responsible for 0.2% of lost production. These numbers might seem small until you consider that in the roughly 150 large U.S. refineries, more than $500 million is invested in pumps. Pumps are, without question, significant players for maintaining production schedules.

Intuitive, Web-Based, Native Analysis and Reporting Software
Users do not need additional software (like AMS Machine Works) to monitor assets with AMS Asset Monitor.
AMS Asset Monitor features powerful out-of-the-box software functionality via web browser for analysis, reporting, and alerting. This web-based thin client interface features an internal Logic Studio with pre-programmed application solutions for easy-to-understand analysis and alert reporting, and its Asset Studio interface delivers asset information to the user’s mobile device or desktop thin client.
Overall asset health status and alerts can be routed to Emerson’s AMS Optics asset performance management platform, and detailed asset data to the control system by OPC UA and Modbus TCP.
Embedded, Patented Advanced Analysis Techniques
Users can conduct advanced automated vibration monitoring and analysis with Emerson’s PeakVue™ and PeakVue Plus technologies.
Simple Installation; Smaller Footprint
Designed to mount at the asset and reduce cabling and other installation costs; wired or wireless Ethernet deployment for greater flexibility.
CHARMs-based Condition Monitoring
Accommodates up to 12 CHARMs to collect both vibration and process variables and apply embedded auto analytics to alert personnel to the most common faults associated with a wide range of assets.
Use with Powerful Industrial Software Platforms
Analyze vibration waveform, spectrum and historical trend storage in AMS Machine Works, send asset health and alerts to AMS Optics via OPC UA or view Asset Studio in a native thin client interface.
AMS Asset Monitor with AMS Machine Works
Leverage deep expertise in vibrational analysis and software to get started monitoring assets quickly – without being an experienced analyst.
The continuous, online condition monitoring system comprising AMS Asset Monitor and AMS Machine Works represents a shift in how manufacturers across industries ensure reliability of their equipment and keep their operations running. represents a shift in how manufacturers across industries ensure reliability of their equipment and keep their operations running.
Working in tandem, the monitor and software enable plant staff to receive real-time updates on asset health from analytics within the device (at the edge), perform deeper analysis (as compared to the monitor’s native thin client interface), and is even deployable from cloud architectures for ultimate scalability.
Data from AMS Asset Monitor is provided to AMS Machine Works on demand, on alert or on schedule, and can include waveform data as well as status information for detailed analysis using the vibration analyzer tool from AMS Machine Works.
