Internet of Things and AMS Suite

Does the current world of Internet of Things where devices, sensors are connected together to share information and help in providing predictive /efficencient information to make business decision is similar to our AMS Suite application. Does anyone have any idea about that ?

  • Yes. AMS suite consists of multiple applications including AMS Device Manager and AMS Asset Graphics for Essential Asset Monitoring (EAM).

    AMS Device Manager is about "smart connected devices", which includes control valves, intelligent on-off valves, digital electric actuators / motor operated valves (MOV), digitally integrated analyzers, and two-wire tank gauging systems etc. This is part of the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) - since you can do it remotely from a central location across the Internet. And it has been possible to do so the past 20 years. PlantWeb is the original IIoT:

    Essential Asset Monitoring is about "smart connected equipment". That is, EAM is one level up looking at smart pumps, smart heat exchangers, and smart cooling towers etc. Wireless plays an important role here because it enables existing plants to be modernized such that pumps become smart pumps by easily deploying more instrumentation: pervasive sensing solutions

    This is all part of the digital transformation that started with the PlantWeb digital ecosystem

    To follow up from Jonas's response, we look at wireless as being a key enabler in driving the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT). We have some good information under the Pervasive Sensing section of our webpage (www2.emersonprocess.com/.../index.aspx) that looks at IIoT in a larger context than just reliability.

    Essential Asset Monitoring (www2.emersonprocess.com/.../essentialassetmonitoring.aspx) is our solution that looks at how we can combine and analyze multiple data points around a given piece of equipment to get a more holistic view of the health of the equipment.
