AMS Device Manager

AMS Device Manager

Plant-wide visibility into the data, health, and key analytics of intelligent field devices.

Manage Online and Offline Instruments From Anywhere
Simplify Intelligent Field Device Management based on Real-Time Diagnostic Data.

AMS Device Manager is the premier software application to expertly manage devices like measurement, wireless and analytical instruments, control valves, and more.


AMS Device Manager enables digital transformation by providing an application that embraces open standards and protocols that allow connectivity to a wide range of devices. It also enables predictive maintenance to reduce unplanned shutdowns, increase productivity, improve safety, and drive higher ROI. 


This unique and flexible application provides real-time online access to intelligent instrument and valve diagnostics and alerts, delivering a view of device health and troubleshooting information when an issue is found. Based on real-time condition data, maintenance and operations personnel can respond quickly and make informed decisions. 

Simplify Device Management with Standards-based Technology

AMS Device Manager Changes How Plants Manage Intelligent Field Devices.

AMS Device Manager revolutionizes the way plants communicate with their devices by adding an emerging technology— Field Device Integration (FDI). FDI combines the benefits of EDDL and FDT/DTM technology providing a standard method for device integration. The AMS Device Manager implementation of FDI reduces complexity and simplifies device management providing cost savings and ease of use for end users and device manufacturers.


About Field Device Integration (FDI) in AMS Device Manager

Manage Online and Offline Instruments From Anywhere

Add up to 30,000 devices into a single database for all your smart devices connected to different host systems, including offline devices configured using a field communicator like AMS Trex. Extend asset management capabilities by delivering device health and calibration status via browser-based interface enabling access from any station on the secure network.

Securely Extend Data to Enterprise Level Applications

AMS Device Manager integrates with enterprise level applications such as AMS Optics to provide visibility of instrument health. It is a reliable source that provides data from devices connected to various DCSs, PLCs or Safety Systems via open industrial protocols, enabling data analytics for process improvements.

Reduce Cost with a Proactive Approach to Maintenance

Using historical baseline data and performance, you can analyze trends to determine when replacements or maintenance will be needed. AMS Device Manager provides graphs to visualize discrepancies and recommended actions on how to fix issues.

Streamline Calibration Work Processes

AMS Device Manager supports the definition of device test schemes, device calibration scheduling, and the management of device calibration data. Go paperless to eliminate documentation errors and automate documentation to minimize unnecessary work.
