The Plant Automation Systems Integration Module (PAS) facilitates quick response to equipment conditions, drives the TabWare PM program and reduces maintenance labor for capturing meter readings and keying data into TabWare.
With factors such as tougher, enforceable regulatory requirements and increasingly complex production processes, the ability to predict and possibly prevent equipment failures and make informed decisions based on equipment health and performance data becomes critical in the asset management programs of top companies. The Plant Automation Systems Integration Module (PAS) helps our customers improve asset performance by predicting and possibly preventing equipment failure. Condition Based Monitoring (CBM) enables a shift from reactive to proactive maintenance, providing maintenance planners with the tools they need to move beyond calendar and break-fix maintenance strategies. CBM provides significant cost benefits to manufacturers, including positive shifts in return on assets and overall equipment effectiveness for critical assets. The Plant Automation Systems Integration Module (PAS) enables utilization-based (i.e. runtime hours) PM work orders and condition-based (i.e. alarm condition) corrective work orders to be triggered automatically when tag values exceed pre-defined thresholds. The PAS Module eliminates the need for plant technicians to make unnecessary rounds taking machine device readings for keying into TabWare. This increases productivity across the board in plant facilities while providing a more rapid response for corrective maintenance needs. Conforming with MIMOSA information standards enabling collaborative asset lifecycle management, TabWare's ability to integrate with a variety of OPC- compatible process automation systems such as Rockwell, Wonderware, OSIsoft, Emerson AMS Suite, GE iHistorian and others - allows it to systematically collect meter readings and other condition related data and link it to TabWare - where it can update meter readings and/or automatically generate work orders. The Plant Automation Systems Integration Module (PAS) delivers on increased uptime, improved performance, and reduced maintenance costs across the board in plant facilities. Benefits:
Increase asset reliability and availability
Automate predictive alarm-based work order generation within TabWare
Give operations personnel visibility into maintenance work orders and equipment status from TabWare
Eliminates the need for plant technicians to make unnecessary rounds, taking machine device readings and hand entering the results into TabWare
