Advanced planning based on best practices is key to successful wireless implementation. With the new AMS Wireless SNAP-ON application, users can plan, customise, visualise, and manage Emersons Smart Wireless networks. This application allows users to avoid in-depth site surveys or time-consuming planning blueprints. Instead, users can easily upload an aerial image of their plant into the application and quickly plan their wireless network. When the network layout is complete, they can validate the network against factory-recommended best practices to optimise device communication paths. Once the wireless network is installed, the AMS Wireless SNAP-ON application also provides a comprehensive view of the networks status, enabling users to maximise reliability of the wireless network.

Wireless is the new frontier in asset management, said Craig Llewellyn, President of Emersons Asset Optimization division. With our leadership in asset management and field devices as a foundation, along with our proven service expertise, we are helping our users leverage wireless technologies in the easiest, fastest, and most effective way possible.”

In addition to the new Smart Wireless functionality, AMS Device Manager 9.5 also includes the MV Engineering Assistant SNAP-ON application that has expanded to enable configuration and test calculation functions on both HART and FOUNDATION fieldbus MultiVariable transmitters from Rosemount. The release also includes the new AlertTrack SNAP-ON application that gives users increased visibility to the health of field devices and documentation of parameter changes to help identify equipment issues and areas for process improvement. With the AlertTrack SNAP-ON application, users can group multiple devices and set parameters to receive customised alerts.

Emerson delivers PlantWeb Services for AMS Device Manager users to install, implement, and incorporate the software with their daily maintenance procedures, integrating work processes with the enterprise asset management system. PlantWeb Services create optimised maintenance work processes that fully capitalise on predictive diagnostics.
