Product Data Sheet
January 2021
A Comprehensive View with Accurate Diagnosis
At some point, mechanical equipment will break down.
With luck, the breakdown won’t occur at the peak of your
production schedule or be caused by an out-of-inventory part.
By knowing the health of your rotating mechanical assets,
you can plan for repairs rather than react to failures.
You can also share the information between maintenance
and operations so that repairs are anticipated and production
schedules are adjusted accordingly. Your facility can achieve
increased availability and performance from production assets,
rather than experience expensive downtime and costly repairs.
AMS Machinery Manager combines predictive maintenance
techniques with comprehensive analysis tools to provide
easy and accurate assessment of the machinery health in
your facility.
Integrated Solution
AMS Machinery Manager can integrate with multiple predictive
diagnostic technologies to monitor different types of
mechanical assets and identify unique failure symptoms.
The modular technology applications incorporate diagnostic
and reporting sources into a common database for analysis
of machinery health across the entire plant.
Through this integration, you gain a comprehensive view of
each monitored machine and more accurate diagnosis of
developing problems. Correlation from multiple technologies
allows you to identify and x the root cause of issues once,
instead of xing the symptoms over and over again.

Portable vibration analysis
Continuous online machinery monitoring
with the AMS 6500 Machinery Health Monitor
Wireless vibration analysis with the
AMS 9420 Wireless Vibration Transmitter
Lubrication analysis

Easy to Understand for Users of All Levels
January 2021AMS Machinery Manager
While maintenance personnel may specialize in different
monitoring technologies, the centralized dashboard,
common user interface, and database administration tools
in AMS Machinery Manager modules make the integration
of asset health information easy to understand for all users.
Users have a shorter learning curve with each new technology,
and some technology modules include different levels of
functionality, to give both the beginner and advanced user
the experience and information they need.
Simple to Install

installation and the self-contained database tools that allow
a software administrator to handle any issues that may arise,
from granting user access to managing the database.
Report, Track, and Trend in a Central Location
AMS Machinery Manager provides a central location
for all current and historical reporting, shareable across
the organization. Graphical representation from
equipment problem trends, work order status, cost savings,
and management style reporting are easily generated through
an established case history repository.
The dashboard allows you to quickly assess the status of your
machines and reliability program, then launch directly to areas
of importance.
A web-based Machine History Viewer allows diagnostics to be
viewed from any computer with Internet Explorer access to your
intranet or internet. Management and maintenance personnel
can access machinery health status and historical information
to make informed decisions.
Machine History Viewer allows the user to select the elds
to display for fast review of critical asset information.
You can also search on specic items, lter by dates,
and print detailed reports. In addition, the Machine History
Viewer is an array of web parts. Each web part can be
minimized, maximized, moved, closed, and reopened.
This functionality provides added exibility to arrange
the web application in any manner desired.
The case history module is a multi-technology asset information
repository, so it allows you to view case history information
from many different technologies. This allows you to be well
informed on the status of your assets through information
logged by oil analysts, vibration analysts, infra red analysts
and others. The inclusions of asset images, diagnostic plots,
Windows audio and video les, and Microsoft les such as
Word and Excel give you the complete information you need
in order to make the best diagnosis.
Interactive reports allow you to customize what information will be
included and how it will appear.

Vibration Monitoring
A wide area network allows communication and analysis of
machinery health information around the globe.
Wireless
Local Area Networks (LAN)
Local area networks are perfect for organizations that need
to share their data internally. The network license has read
access capability for up to 249 users. This allows other plant
personnel to access and view the data concurrently. Write seats,
database access, analysis, reporting, and communications are
controlled by the user’s job responsibilities.
Wide Area Network (WAN)
For a global environment, a wide area network license
allows for communication around the world. Data transfer
can be completed by simply uploading a route by ethernet
or intermediate le transfer. In addition, route denition
information can be emailed to personnel and uploaded to an
analyzer at any time without having access to a client or server
software application.
Analysis and other tasks can be performed globally as if
you were at the server site. Read access for up to 249 users
and congurable write access customized to a user’s job
responsibilities are a part of the WAN environment.
Cloud based installations can reduce maintenance costs and
provides an alternative to wide area network installations.
To better enable digital transformation, AMS Machinery
Manager can also be deployed in the Microsoft Azure cloud,
removing the need to install software locally. The supported
architectures in the cloud can support single servers, as well as
client/server architectures including data lockers, and allow for
up to ten concurrent users. Please note, cloud deployment is
supported for AMS 2140 users only.
