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.

HYDROCARBON PUMPS

Hydrocarbon pumps are essential assets to the refining industry, but they come with potential risks. What seemed to be a healthy pump during infrequent manual inspections can soon be the source of reduced or shutdown operations, expensive repairs, and compliance regulations. Dangerous fumes or even fire threatens the safety of your team and the facility.

Motors

The AC induction motor is the dominant motor technology in use today, representing more than 90% of installed motor capacity. Induction motors are available in single-phase and polyphase configurations, in sizes ranging from less than one to more than ten thousand horsepower (hp). They often serve as an integrated direct drive, where an impeller (fan, blower, pump, etc.) is mounted directly on the shaft of the motor. In this configuration, the motor is the driver for many essential plant assets.

Fans

A wide range of applications benefit from the use of centrifugal fans and blowers, including gas handling, chemical processing, dusting collection, drying, fume control, and process heating/cooling. Their size and blade configuration are specific to the application and industry, but they all have one thing in common: normal wear-and-tear on components such as bearings, rotors, blades, and the like can lead to unexpected shutdown of the production process.

Heat Exchangers

Often described as the workhorse of the process industry, the shell and tube heat exchanger is an immensely versatile unit, able to handle a wide range of process applications and conditions. Whether you are looking to cool, heat, vaporize or condense, the shell and tube can meet your needs.

Maintaining the health and performance of this asset could be critical to maintaining your production schedule!

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.

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.

AMS Asset Monitor with AMS Machine Works
Intuitive, Web-Based, Native Analysis and Reporting Software

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.
