AMS Asset Monitor

Installation costs and complexity have kept continuous online monitoring reserved for the most critical assets in the plant. Understanding vibration data from those systems required specific expertise. And combining that data with process data was reserved for the control room.

With the AMS Asset Monitor, innovation for monitoring balance of plant (BOP) assets isn’t out-of-the-box thinking – it’s thinking about what is INSIDE the box. The AMS Asset Monitor is an edge analytics device utilizing CHARMs-based technology to collect both vibration and process data from BOP assets. It applies embedded auto analytics to alert personnel to the most common faults associated with a wide range of assets. Operations, Process and Reliability staff can all assist in monitoring plant assets.

John Turner, product manager for the AMS Asset Monitor, explains how customer can now have continuous monitor of their balance of plant assets without significant cabling and installation costs. The AMS Asset Monitor is an edge analytics device that makes use of Emerson's DeltaV CHARMs technology to provide and analyze both vibration and process measurements, and provide diagnosis and corrective action recommendations for the 10 mostly commonly occurring conditions.
