Instrument managementsoftware from MTL

Avoid Unplanned Shutdowns . Online access todevice diagnostics allows you to continually monitor devices and to know immediately if there is a problem. Intercept problems before they cause major plant upsets. AMS Device Manager can be used with theMTL4840 HART®connection system, and with anycontrol system, to give precise live information about every HART transmitter and valve positioner in a plant. Imagine—a software application which can identify problems with instruments; an application which predicts upcoming problems; an application which offers you access to device status information that can reduce troubleshooting time by three hours or more per device. With annual spending on maintainingexisting plant Streamline Calibrations. AMS Device Managerallows you to easily move information between your database and your documenting calibrator. Calibrator results are archived along with all maintenance information for each device, helping you comply with regulatory agencies. being five times the expenditure onnew plant, and with one third of all maintenance costs wasted due to unnecessary or improperly performed maintenance procedures, there are huge opportunities for improving plant profitability through the use of effective maintenance management tools. In the process industry effective management of instrumentation assets is a key requirement for maximising profits. AMS Device Manager is a key element in achieving this.
“Through AMS the frequency of some calibrationroutines has been halved. AMS paid for itself in just twodays of production following early startup.” – GlaxoSmithKline Attain Superior Performance. You have the ability to check a device status, configure, re-range, and perform diagnostics right from a PC without going into the field.
“Emerson's AMS works with predictive diagnostics inthe field devices to give us increased performance from ourprocess.....of approximately a 1% product improvement oran additional 600 barrels/day.” – Shell Refining Deliver an Audit-Ready Plant .Documentationtime is dramatically reduced. All information for each device is stored by the AMS Device Manager and documentation is updated automatically.
“Auditors are impressed when we go to the computerand print out a detailed report showing scheduledcalibration dates, when last calibrated, and ‘as found/asleft’ information. Everything is very well organized, and theaccuracy of these reports has never been questioned.” “Without AMS, maintenance would have shut down theprocess for four or five hours to replace a valve that was ingood working condition. ”
– American Soda – Goldschmidt Chemical Corporation AMS Suite: Intelligent Device Manager is just one ofthe integrated family of applications in the AMS Suite for predictive maintenance, performance monitoring and economic optimization. The Power of Diagnostics. AMS ValveLinkdelivers exclusive, in-service Performance Diagnostics for the best predictive valve diagnostics available.
“There is no question that diagnostic capabilities, likethe Alert Monitor, saved us considerable time and moneycompared to traditional methods. Emerson has some of thebest tools in the industry to improve diagnostics, increasesystem availability, and lower production costs.” HART ® is a registered trademark of The HARTCommunication Foundation. – Cargill EUROPE (EMEA) Tel: +44 (0)1582 723633 Fax: +44 (0)1582 422283 AMERICAS Tel: +1 603 926 0090Fax: +1 603 926 1899 ASIA PACIFIC Tel: +65 487 7887Fax: +65 487 7997 May 2004 E-mail: enquiry@mtl-inst.com Web site: www.mtl-inst.com
