Emerson, a global leader in industrial software and engineering, has added data server technology to its suite of asset management tools to help process manufacturers improve performance by breaking down the data silos that can make it difficult to transform reliability and maintenance strategies in a digital environment. AMS Device Manager Data Server securely extends intelligent field device data to outside systems, to make it easier for reliability and maintenance teams to further capitalise on advanced analytics software, enabling a step change in operational efficiency and smart manufacturing.
The new AMS Device Manager Data Server integrates measurement & analytics data into asset management software.
For decades, process manufacturers have relied on asset management software to deploy and monitor plant production assets – like measurement and analytical instrumentation, digital valve controllers, wireless gateways, and others – within a single plant and across the enterprise. As plants have advanced, the technology stack has grown to adopt a wide range of analytics, historians, machine learning, and modelling to exploit and benefit from historically underused or inaccessible datasets from around the plant. AMS Device Manager Data Server publishes intelligent field device data nearly instantaneously to industrial software analytics solutions already in use by customers. It eliminates the need for complex custom data integration and manual workarounds that are often the cause of delayed results and siloed data. With AMS Device Manager Data Server, the data is relayed via secure industry protocols.
Erik Lindhjem, Vice President of Emerson’s reliability solutions business, says, “To accelerate sustainability and profitability, today’s manufacturers are transforming via analytics – seeking to aggregate disparate, underused data, and use it for positive business impact around the organisation. AMS Device Manager Data Server makes intelligent field device information such as configuration parameters, alerts, calibration data and more, available in near real-time, for advanced use in other software and applications that our customers already use.”
AMS Device Manager Data Server makes it easy to import critical instrument and valve data into common dashboarding tools and applications like Microsoft PowerBI, Emerson software tools such as the Plantweb™ Optics platform, Plantweb Insight, Aspen MTell® and AspenTech Inmation™, plant historians and others.
