Today, more than ever before, you need an effective change management system in place to meet the requirements of the FDA, OSHA, ISO, EPA and general principles of Process Safety Management.
The task of documenting maintenance activities is consuming ever-larger percentages of your time and energy, not just for U.S. companies, but worldwide. Ironically, it may take more time to do the required documentation than it does to perform the actual maintenance work.
That’s why Emerson’s AMS Device Manager makes regulatory compliance an automatic part of the real work. When maintenance functions are performed using AMS Device Manager, records are automatically produced and logged in an audit trail. The documentation step is done simultaneously and accurately.
For example, if a transmitter’s range is reconfigured from AMS Device Manager, a record will be automatically generated that keeps track of the critical change information. It’s just that simple.
For SIS (Safety Instrumented Systems), AMS Device Manager provides access to diagnostics and simplifies testing. It gives easy access to device diagnostics, user security, Audit Trail documentation (both automated and manual entries), device configuration storage and comparison, efficient SIF (Safety Instrumented Functions) proof testing, and calibration verification.
