Use AMS Suite (Asset Management Software Suite) interfaced with Meridium’s APM (Asset Performance Monitor) framework to maximise asset performance, mitigate risk, and optimise maintenance costs. AMS Suite and APM consolidate data from assets in a facility and allow users to define, view and measure metrics to analyse asset performance.
AMS Suite and APM integrate data from thousands of assets throughout the plant into a single application. Not only process variables are visible, but also a wealth of information on equipment health and performance. With this information, producers can avoid unplanned downtime and keep maintenance spending within budget.
Get the information needed to extract maximum performance from operations – both processes and people. AMS Suite and APM deliver immediate, actionable information to keep the focus on business goals.
Get the information needed to keep the plant running smoothly
• Gain a broad view of critical asset details across the enterprise to guide decision-making.
• Immediately focus on the areas that need attention with information targeted to specific functions.
• Schedule and create meaningful reports to discover trends and identify bad actors.
• Receive real-time mobile alerts on problematic assets to manage production risks.
• Establish goals and key performance indicators (KPIs) to drive improvements that deliver business results.
• Collaborate with Reliability Consulting Services to maximise the value of smart devices and AMS Suite.
Reports and metrics deliver key asset details
AMS Suite and APM make finding the information needed simple and efficient. Users can customise their homepage with the information most used, including charts, graphs, and links to more details. Create queries to delve deeper into the asset data to target specific problems and identify root causes.
Create and track custom metrics to reveal under-performing assets and develop world-class maintenance strategies and practices. KPI results are displayed graphically in charts, graphs, and dials, so producers can always see how their performance compares to goals. Reports can be generated from any query or data options in the database. Schedule report generation for common reports and manually create reports for unique situations. Reports can be emailed to colleagues or posted to the APM homepages for online collaboration.
Improve business results
AMS Suite and APM integrate with the CMMS system to create work notifications based on asset condition and performance. CMMS integration allows the entire organisation to drive common goals by uniting asset information with business data to fuel key metrics.

Maintenance, Test & Measurement, Calibration
Cathodic protection keeps buried and submerged pipelines safe from corrosion, but verifying it traditionally means costly, hazardous manual site visits. Omniflex explains how a retrofit module brings remote monitoring to ageing transformer rectifiers without replacing functional infrastructure.
Read more...Microdieseling – the explosions you never hear
Maintenance, Test & Measurement, Calibration
Microdieseling is a pressure-induced thermal degradation mechanism in which entrained air bubbles are compressed so rapidly that the surrounding oil ignites, producing soot, varnish and sludge. WearCheck explains how it happens, why the damage varies, and how oil analysis detects it.

Maintenance, Test & Measurement, Calibration
WearCheck technical manager, Steven Lumley explains how static electricity accumulates in modern low-conductivity lubricants, why compact system designs and fine filtration make ESD more likely, and how to recognise the degradation it leaves behind.

Maintenance, Test & Measurement, Calibration
Using its clearance modification expertise, SKF helped a mining equipment OEM salvage spherical roller bearing inventory that would otherwise have been scrapped, confirming a new capability within its remanufacturing services and avoiding redundant procurement.
Read more...When maintenance-system compliance starts replacing plant reliability Wearcheck
Maintenance, Test & Measurement, Calibration
WearCheck ARC division manager, Annemie Willer argues that the greatest threat to effective maintenance is no longer a lack of technology, but the gradual replacement of technical judgement by CMMS compliance, leaving no one owning the machine.
Read more...Nitration: the acid you didn’t see coming Wearcheck
Maintenance, Test & Measurement, Calibration
Nitration is as destructive as oxidation in many engines but far less understood. WearCheck technical manager, Steven Lumley explains how nitrogen oxide gases degrade lubricants, why the process is difficult to detect, and what oil analysis can reveal before damage occurs.
