AMS Device Manager Data Server | Extended Intelligent Field Device Analytics Without the Aggravation
Jim Cahill
As process manufacturing scope and capabilities have grown over the decades, so, too, has the need to carefully deploy and monitor dozens, hundreds, or even thousands of automation assets. Plant personnel rely on measurement and analytical instrumentation, digital valve controllers, wireless devices, and more to help them ensure processes are optimized and to keep operations safe, efficient, and effective. As plant…

Driving Reliability Improvements
Jim Cahill
A more reliable manufacturing or production facility is a more sustainable facility. Many non-optimum outcomes, such as flaring, reprocessing, waste, and other non-optimum results, can be avoided. When Emerson and Aspen Technology came together to form a global technology and software team, this enabled complementary technologies and solutions to be applied to enterprise-level reliability. AspenTech and Emerson can…

Debunking Condition Monitoring Misconceptions
Jim Cahill
The personnel landscape of processing plants has changed. Yesterday’s deep bench of experienced personnel has given way to leaner, more nimble groups supporting a wide variety of disparate technologies, often across an entire fleet. But while these teams are often smaller, they are also made up of digital natives—highly technical engineers who are used to constant access to critical information. The best plants are…

Political Dilemma in the Plant
Jim Cahill
Anchovy Rice, Banana Flower Salad, and the Instrument Technician You would think that for an industry as technical and geeky as Process Instrumentation and Condition-Based Monitoring, workplace politics would not be nonexistent right? Well, you would be wrong. In my age of innocence as a younger marketing guy, I learned some interesting lessons in a refinery that is not too far away. I knew we had the best solution…

Software Simplifies Technology Transfer
Jim Cahill
The life sciences marketplace is changing faster than nearly any other industry. Gone are the days when companies focus on a single treatment to drive their entire business. Today’s life sciences manufacturers are challenged to bring new treatments to the marketplace as quickly as possible—a trend that was magnified during the COVID-19 pandemic . As a result, innovation is key today. And innovation requires technologies…

Four Best Practices for Condition Monitoring
Jim Cahill
It is easier than ever to store massive amounts of data. The cost of wireless sensing technologies has dropped dramatically, making it much easier to instrument every asset in the plant and ensure that no performance aberration goes unnoticed. However, bringing in all this data carries with it the risk of information floods. If data is collected and stored without a plan, it can easily become overwhelming. To help organizations…

Three Strategies to Drive Improved Reliability
Jim Cahill
For high-output industries like Food & Beverage, production downtime stemming from equipment failure can be especially costly. Operations producing soft drinks, juices or beer, for instance, may replace maintenance rounds with sensors and automated data collection for more reliable results, or apply monitoring to its critical climate control equipment like cooling towers or ammonia compressors. A rapid decrease in the…

Make the most of your reliability workforce
Jim Cahill
Today’s plants frequently have limited personnel but still need to find ways to do more work and meet increasing goals and quotas. This dichotomy frequently causes a problem when it comes to asset monitoring, which is traditionally performed by technicians manually inspecting equipment with handheld devices on a regular schedule. In the current environment, plants are faced with a dilemma: do they reduce the manual rounds…
