Global Performance Advisor for realtime equipment performance analysis.
New software expands online machinery monitoring solution that improves availability and performance of critical equipment.
The release of AMS Suite: Global Performance Advisor extends Emerson’s online machinery monitoring solution for analysis of equipment performance. With AMS Performance Advisor, users can predict performance of assets by identifying, in realtime, performance deterioration of critical machinery.
Monitoring helps save energy
Emerson’s online monitoring solution combines protection, prediction, and performance monitoring with process control leading to improved availability and performance. A key component of the PlantWeb digital plant architecture, the complete solution includes hardware, software and services and is targeted for key equipment, such as compressors, gas turbines, steam turbines, boilers, heat exchangers and pumps.
Expanding the power of the online monitoring solution, AMS Performance Advisor serves as a complement to AMS Suite: Equipment Performance Monitor, a service-based application that provides expert analysis of equipment performance.
Identifying performance degradation of equipment can deliver significant cost savings. For example, if fouling causes a loss in heat rate, more energy will be required to drive the process. Identifying and preventing just 1% of actual energy loss at a plant can result in significant annual savings. The realtime information available with AMS Performance Advisor helps users pinpoint opportunities for performance improvement that would otherwise go unnoticed.
“Monitoring the performance efficiency of turbo-machinery identifies ways to drastically reduce energy consumption and improve performance,” said Craig Llewellyn, president of Emerson’s asset optimisation division. “Emerson continues to add capabilities that enhance asset performance and availability of critical plant assets to deliver improved financial results.”
Diagnostics define maintenance requirements
AMS Performance Advisor is the latest addition to Emerson’s AMS Suite of predictive maintenance applications. AMS Suite delivers powerful predictive diagnostics from all areas of the plant – from instruments and valves to rotating equipment and electrical assets. The integration of AMS Suite with enterprise asset management systems ensures that maintenance work is driven by diagnostics in the field instead of schedules, allowing the plant to run more efficiently. AMS Suite provides realtime information that allows users to make more informed and effective decisions that improve business performance.
