Maintenance Tools
Improve schedule compliance
and fi rst-time fi x rate
Last December, this company
added MyAssets toolset to its MyEmerson
personalized digital experience
to help users execute their
maintenance plans more effectively.
As part of the MyEmerson digital
tools portfolio launched last year to
improve productivity and collaboration,
MyAssets provides instant
access to device documentation,
replacements, spares and walkdown
reports to help plant personnel
better
with
more experienced colleagues
or consultants - inside the plant
or across the globe - to complete
a job. - Prüftechnik, a division of

MyAssets
the useful life of their devices. For
maintenance planners,
improves schedule compliance with
a single location for device information,
technical documentation,
spare and replacement part details
and lifecycle status condition. Easy
access to curated, relevant device
content enables faster creation of
work packets, reducing time from
hours to minutes. Digital walkdown
reports provide detailed analyses
of a site's device conditions - regardless
of manufacturer - and
prioritized recommendations for
next steps, guiding faster and
more predictable shutdowns, turnarounds
and outages. - Emerson,

Align most standard machines
with this laser-based system
The ShaftAlign Touch laser alignment
system (photo) is a digital
solution that exceeds the capabilities
of conventional tools and delivers
greater speed and accuracy.
The user-friendly system combines
single-laser technology with Active
Situational Intelligence to empower
teams of varying experience levels
to align most any asset with new
levels of precision and speed. The
company's Adaptive Alignment systems,
such as the ShaftAlign Touch,
automatically eliminate user errors
and low-quality measurement points
by adapting to the asset, the alignment
situation, and the technician
who is performing the job. Cloudcompatible
software allows newer
technicians to share measurements
Global partnership for
digital maintenance
Last March, this company and Evora
IT Solutions (Walldorf, Germany) announced
a global solution and technology
partnership. Both companies
complement their own offerings by
combining mobile hardware and
software solutions for digital maintenance
in the specialized, demanding
industrial sector. In a first software/
hardware pilot project, a joint major
chemical customer of the two companies
is already successfully using
this company's IS930.RG tablet
(photo) for SAP-supported maintenance
processes. Both companies
will be able to offer their global users
the added value of the combined integration
of solutions/software and
hardware for Ex or rugged industrial
use. - i.safe Mobile GmbH, LaudaKoenigshofen,

Improved robot fl eet
management with CBM
This company's new conditionbased
maintenance (CBM) service
enables robot users to create a
preventive
maintenance
schedule
for individual or robot fleets based
on real-time operational data to
optimize productivity and minimize
downtime (photo). CBM uses realtime
data on robot operations to
help identify any potential issues
that could affect performance, including
duty, speed, acceleration
and gearbox wear. These variables
are compared against other robots
in the company's worldwide robot
database to calculate the likelihood
and timeframe of a potential fault
or failure. Aimed at users with large
fleets of robots, this CBM tool can
advise whether remedial action is
required, involving either repair or
replacement of affected parts. By
identifying which parts are likely to
fail and when, spare parts can be
