Emerson is helping reliability teams eliminate data silos and expand their capabilities with the release of AMS Machine Works version 1.8. This latest software update unites all modern AMS condition monitoring hardware data under a single platform to help organizations simplify management and increase cybersecurity of their reliability programs in a wide range of process industries, including oil and gas, chemical, life sciences, mining, metals, minerals, water, power and utilities, pulp and paper and more.

A key goal of Emerson’s Boundless Automation^SM vision is to enable seamless movement of contextualized data from the intelligent field, through the edge, and into the cloud to help teams drive more value from the data they already collect. By bringing all current generation AMS condition monitoring tools under a single platform, AMS Machine Works version 1.8 will contribute to that vision, helping reliability teams simplify the use of data for decision making and effective maintenance activities, breaking down silos to make plant personnel more effective and efficient in their roles.

Data from the AMS 2140 Machinery Health Analyzer will now feed directly into AMS Machine Works, and users will have the opportunity to maintain a single database combining both automated and manual data collection. In addition, a new user interface and improved dashboards will make the software easier to use, with the addition of drag-and-drop functionality and redesigned menus for more intuitive navigation.

DeltaV™ Automation Platform

Updates to Emerson’s DeltaV™ Automation Platform is empowering manufacturers with seamless data mobility across a new suite of life sciences software. Providing key automation solutions from the earliest stages of recipe development through commercial manufacturing, Emerson’s suite of life sciences software makes it easier for organizations to select and connect critical tools necessary to bring quality treatments to patients faster, safer and more sustainably.

The traditional process of creating a new treatment from research through clinical trials to commercial manufacturing is largely manual and intensely time consuming. Life sciences companies spend substantial resources in both time and money performing the steps necessary to move information across various applications to successfully develop and manufacture new products. With a wide variety of technology solutions from different providers in the various segments of the business, data can quickly become siloed in individual applications, making it difficult to move from stage to stage, and increasing the likelihood of error.

To overcome these challenges, Emerson’s life sciences software suite is purpose-built within the comprehensive DeltaV Automation Platform, streamlining the connection of critical components across the development and commercialization pipeline to create a more collaborative environment. For example, users can create a general recipe and risk profile in DeltaV Process and Knowledge Management (PKM™), and then, using the DeltaV Tech Transfer Hub—a sophisticated mapping tool created through Emerson’s One-Click Technology Transfer™ initiative—quickly send the pertinent recipe information to the DeltaV Manufacturing Execution System (MES) or the DeltaV Distributed Control System (DCS).
