The AMS Performance Monitor’s new Predictive Analyst capability
analyzes current performance of equipment as compared with original
design, and then predicts how equipment will be operating in future
months. The tool determines when degraded performance will occur,
enabling users to plan maintenance activities well in advance.
-
Predict asset performance for a specified operating period.
- Predict the date(s) that asset performance will fall below specified values.
- Predict the number of operating hours before a warning status is triggered.
“We are constantly looking at methods and technological
advantages to help our customers run their process more efficiently
and save both operational and maintenance costs. This latest version
of AMS Performance Monitor provides another mechanism to enable the
move to proactive maintenance,” commented Craig Llewellyn,
