Advantages of the ABB Asset Optimization solution are enhanced when it is utilized with information from Asset Monitor and integrated Computerized Maintenance Management Systems (CMMS), DLI ExperALERT, as well as Optimax performance and optimization applications for Power Generation and Real Time Production Intelligence (RTPI). Tools are available to allow fast integration of external or stand-alone intelligent monitoring systems. These tools enable users to:
- Quickly and electronically convert an alert generated from an asset monitor into an actionable work order
- Determine frequency of alarming or alerting for equipment
- Documentation of work flow for use in corporate quality management programs or government regulated industries
Computerized Maintenance Management System (CMMS) Integration
System 800xA Asset Optimization uses CMMS Integration to make information accessible to users in the process control and maintenance system environments. Benefits include:
- Single window interface into multiple systems.
- Context menus provide access to several views and actions for specific CMMS items, allowing plant personnel to assess equipment conditions in real time
- Reduced maintenance workflow through elimination of paperwork and by providing a single, electronic audit trail for all actions
To date, Industrial IT System 800xA supports three Computerized Maintenance Management Systems: IFS Applications™, IBM Maximo®, SAP PM® and IFS Applications™ .
Device Calibration
System 800xA Asset Optimization, with Meriam Process Technologies’ DMS (Device Management System) provides an integrated device management solution for calibration of HART® or conventional 4-20 mA devices. Benefits include:
- reduced device lifecycle management costs
- precise calibration
- secure electronic documentation
- single window interface for multiple systems
- any device engineered in 800xA system automatically added to (or deleted from) the DMS because data is exchanged between DMS, calibration management environment and System 800xA calibration
- workflow reduced through the elimination of paperwork
- records generated by the handheld Calibrator and stored in the database
- all actions "audit trailed."
