Emerson Process Management announces a new class of digital automation technology designed to improve plant operations and maintenance, including the prevention of unplanned shutdowns. Smart Machinery Health Management extends Emerson’s PlantWeb digital plant architecture by putting predictive diagnostics into intelligent transmitters that monitor and analyse rotating equipment health and deliver actionable information to operations and maintenance personnel.
Unplanned production shutdowns are expensive, costing €1 million or more per day in some industries. Industry statistics point to mechanical failure as the cause of 43 percent of plant incidents. Typical process plants include 2500 machines, with 60 percent being motor-pump combinations. Emerson is addressing motor-pump machines that are essential to operations in chemical, oil and gas, refining, power, pulp&paper and other process industries.
Emerson’s new CSI 9210 Machinery Health Transmitter is the cornerstone of Smart Machinery Health Management. The CSI 9210 is the first FOUNDATION™ fieldbus transmitter that diagnoses conditions including motor-pump bearing failure, coupling misalignment, motor electrical failure, pump cavitation and pump imbalance.
“We are excited and proud to announce this new Smart Machinery Health Management innovation. It is a clear response to our customers’ operations issues, and will deliver significant business benefits for users”, said Jim Nyquist, president of Emerson Process Management in Europe, Middle East and Africa. “This launch is another major step toward enlightening plants with open, digital intelligence and predictive diagnostics. Smart Machinery Health Management powers Emerson’s PlantWeb architecture by delivering actionable information on rotating equipment so plant personnel can prevent production upsets before they happen.”
The CSI 9210 Machinery Health Transmitter joins the CSI 4500 Machinery Health Monitor to enable management of essential and critical rotating equipment, the most typical source of failure and cost of maintenance in a plant.
Emerson combines world-class services with PlantWeb to help users apply field-based information. Services include installation supervision, configuration and startup, training, and ongoing support.
