Condition Monitoring Solutions for Mechanical Assets

In the chemical manufacturing industry, mechanical and rotating assets play a critical role in the production process. These assets encompass a wide range of equipment, including pumps, compressors, turbines, motors, gearboxes, agitators, cooling towers, mixers, and various other , and various other rotating machinery. They are essential for transferring fluids, generating power, mixing product, and performing numerous other mechanical operations necessary for chemical production..

Emerson's condition monitoring portfolio includes route-based vibration analyzers, wireless IIoT sensors, edge analytics, online prediction and protection, and advanced software analysis tools. Whether you employ route-based or remote monitoring/data collection (or both), our expert approach considers various measurement acquisition types and delivers the diagnostic details necessary to avoid false alerts that waste time and misdiagnosed issues that lead to machine failure.

You collect data from many rotating machines—from balance-of-plant assets like pumps, motors, gear boxes ,and fans, to higher consequence assets like turbines, generators and compressors—but having a single location where the data comes together to identify bad actors quickly would be more efficient.

 

Asset management for industrial machinery is simplified in AMS Machine Works software, where users can quickly begin identifying potential equipment issues with their monitored machinery. AMS Machine Works combines predictive maintenance techniques with comprehensive, patented analysis tools to provide easy and accurate assessment of machinery health. This award-winning software ingresses measurement from compatible AMS machinery health data acquisition technology like AMS Wireless Vibration Monitor, AMS Asset Monitor, AMS 6500 ATG, and others.

 

AMS Asset Monitor manages pervasive sensing while providing prediction, protection and edge process monitoring capabilities, mounting at the asset to reduce cabling requirements and installation costs. It accommodates up to 12 CHARMs including Vibration CHARMs as well as DeltaV CHARMs for process inputs.

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.

 

Although no additional software is required to monitor assets with AMS Asset Monitor, it may be paired with AMS Machine Works software to deliver real-time updates on assets, perform deeper analysis (as compared to native thin client interface), and deploy from cloud architectures for ultimate scalability. Data from AMS Asset Monitor processed at the edge is provided to AMS Machine Works on demand, on alert or on schedule, and can include waveform data and status information for detailed analysis using the vibration analyzer tool in AMS Machine Works. AMS Asset Monitor can be configured to send overall asset health status and alerts to AMS Optics via OPC UA.

 

The AMS Wireless Vibration Monitor delivers full vibration data over a self-organizing wireless mesh network. It provides rich information about machinery health for both operations and maintenance personnel. Overall vibration, PeakVue measurements and temperature readings can be easily integrated into any control system or plant historian, while diagnostic data can be displayed by AMS Device Manager and AMS Machine Works software with alert broadcast via the AMS Optics asset performance platform.

 

The AMS 2140 Machinery Health Analyzer takes vibration data and analysis measurements to the next level. It features simultaneous four-channel plus phase data collection and unique peak detection capabilities for the earliest indication of bearing and gearbox degradation. In addition to delivering faster data collection for less time in the field or more machines monitored, the AMS 2140 is ergonomically designed for comfortable, single hand operation all day long.
