Treasures in Your Attic (or Toolbox)

Forgive me if the title reads like a bit of easy watching TV, however following some recent conversations with our customers it has got me thinking that you (Control & Automation Engineers) may have some valuable treasures in your automation attic!

Q; What is this treasure?

A : AMS Device Manager

AMS Device Manager was launched in 1996 so predates the current Digital Transformation and IIoT trends however remains a highly valuable and efficient tool for management of your smart field devices, providing a reliable foundation for wider Digitalisation of your business. Previous generations of engineers at your site may have invested in the earlier versions of AMS Device Manager and like other heirlooms these may have fallen into a state of disrepair, been left unloved and unused. My recent conversations have started with a Digital Transformation theme but ended with the easiest and quickest business results coming from a makeover of the existing AMS installation. So if you feel your business could benefit from faster commissioning of devices, from being more efficient in calibrations and achieving all this with a reduction in paper based documentation then take a minute to look through this document and see how some other users have benefited from the latest version of AMS Device Manager or click here.

Have a look around, you may just have some valuable Treasures in your Automation Attic!
