Asset management tool features shaft animation and audio waveform.

Emerson Process Management has released the latest version of its AMS Suite, Machinery Health Manager v5.5. The asset management software augments analysis of predictive diagnostics from mechanical assets by delivering advanced plot capabilities, including shaft animation and audio waveform, interactive reporting, and online collaboration.

Using the new shaft animation plot tool, users can see the actual motion of the shaft around the average shaft position. During animation replay, users can view detailed graphs to identify key orbit characteristics and full machine movement. Users can also replay an audio recording of waveforms to hear audible indications of a problem.

Enhanced reporting capabilities enable users to design customized reports by specifying parameters and fields, with robust sorting and filtering capabilities. Users can use a new collaboration tool to share information regarding problem assets. AMS Machinery Manager has also expanded its thermal image support to Flir cameras.
