Powerful Asset Effectiveness Solution Helps Bridge Information Gap Between
Operations and Maintenance
LAKE FOREST, Calif.--(Business Wire)--
The Operations Management Division of Invensys announced today the availability
of the newest version of the Condition Based Monitoring Solution. This powerful
asset effectiveness software solution was developed in partnership between
Wonderware and Mtelligence Corp., an endorsed Wonderware partner. 

"Condition Based Monitoring 2.0 integrates Mtelligence`s powerful connectivity
and asset health monitoring application with the Wonderware System Platform,
InTouch HMI and Wonderware IntelaTrac mobile solution software to help further
lower the cost and effort needed to build a fully integrated and scalable asset
effectiveness solution," said Jim Frider, Wonderware asset effectiveness product
marketing manager. 

The Mtelligence Condition Based Monitoring 2.0 solution leverages powerful
ArchestrA technology inside of the Wonderware System Platform to simplify and
accelerate system configuration. An enhanced "Operator Work Advisory" graphic
template can be customized to provide operator-requested information on work
order status and detailed work order information. This template-based framework
enables manufacturers to rapidly deploy integrated asset effectiveness solutions
with significantly less engineering and more consistency. 

The Mtelligence Condition Based Monitoring Solution now supports mobile field
workers through integration with Wonderware Mobile Solutions. Operators can now
collect process data from non-instrumented plant equipment and upload this
valuable data to the plant historian for reporting on plant operational
efficiency. The solution also is capable of sending process data to the plant`s
work management systems and has the ability to provide views of existing work
orders and create new work orders while mobile operators are walking the plant.
This capability helps increase operator productivity and the early detection of
equipment health problems. 

Condition Based Monitoring 2.0 uses the open-data connectivity MIMOSA standard,
(Machinery Information Management Open Systems Alliance), to significantly lower
the risk and cost of integrating operator information displays, such as plant
HMI systems or mobile solutions, with the industry`s most popular EAM and CMMS
systems including IBM Maximo, SAP Plant Maintenance, Ventyx Indus and Invensys
Avantis. 

This software solution also provides powerful tools, including a new Asset
Health Analysis tool and an advanced rule engine for detecting and analyzing
equipment health issues. Using information from the Condition Based Monitoring
Solution, a plant or manufacturing facility can move confidently from a reactive
or time-based maintenance program to a more efficient predictive or
condition-based maintenance approach, thereby helping reduce maintenance costs
and effort. 

Also, as plants age their mix of assets change. The Condition Based Monitoring
Solution 2.0 provides asset lifecycle management capabilities, so as assets are
upgraded or even replaced the software can accommodate these changes and
maintain the value of the solution. 

Condition Based Monitoring Solution 2.0 also supports regulated industries such
as pharmaceutical or food and beverage with a full range of transaction and
configuration logging and auditing features.
