Emerson Process Management invited the media to witness the launch of Smart Remote Automation in Singapore. This technology extends its PlantWeb digital architecture and enables continuous diagnostics to run at remote sites and connect in real-time to centralized operations centers where they allow predictive operations and maintenance, and enable staff to increase site availability and throughput. According to the company, the first industry to benefit from this extended architecture will be upstream oil and gas, where production, transportation, and distribution operations can cover hundreds or even thousands of square miles. To maintain these sites has traditionally required many man-hours and miles of driving.The extension also covered the launch of the CSI 9210 Machinery Health transmitter. The new transmitter is the cornerstone of Smart Machinery Health Management, a new class of digital automation technology designed to improve plant operations and maintenance, including the prevention of unplanned shutdowns, the company said. Smart Machinery Health Management extends Emerson’s PlantWeb digital plant architecture by putting predictive diagnostics into intelligent transmitters that monitor and analyze rotating equipment health. The transmitters deliver actionable information to operations and maintenance personnel for use in preventing production upsets before they happen.In addition, Emerson announced Version 7.0 of its AMS Suite: Intelligent Device Manager, a core application that powers the predictive capability of PlantWeb digital plant architecture. According to the company, Version 7.0 expands the reach of predictive technology by enabling AMS Device Manager to support Emerson’s new Smart Remote Automation technology, and also by increasing connectivity options including High Speed Ethernet (HSE) interface for Foundation fieldbus devices.www.emersonprocess.com
