Challenge:   A single point of failure in an expensive asset or continuous process can cause large upstream and downstream effects -- even with redundancy applied. The failure of a critical asset reduces plant capacity and may take extensive time to recover. Other serious, far-reaching effects may include expensive unplanned downtime, an environmental excursion, or a safety incident. And replacements under regular, periodic maintenance are often unnecessary, shortening your equipment’s life span and increasing costs.

Solution:  Emerson’s AMS Suite predictive maintenance software provides a suite of applications to collect field-generated information on the health of critical assets, enabling early detection of equipment problems. This empowers operations, maintenance, and reliability personnel to make informed decisions to avoid failures before they occur. Armed with better knowledge of the condition of various assets, you’ll also be able to extend regular maintenance intervals. Emerson’s SmartWireless provides an innovative solution for gathering up-to-date information on many currently unmonitored assets. The result is higher reliability with lower operating and maintenance costs.
