Chromatography Software Controls System-Integrated Instruments ChromQuest 5.0 updates the previous Chromatography Data System (CDS) program with a new user interface, and data acquisition, processing and reporting methods that are designed to work with sampling and measurement instrumentation. This software can perform multi-level calibrations, graphic method editing, conditional sequence actions and automated LIMS (laboratory information management systems) export. It provides digital control for system components, such as pumps and detectors. Integrated instrument control supports the Focus GC, the Trace GC Ultra, and the TriPlus autosampler for liquid, headspace and solidphase micro extraction (SPME) sampling techniques.

Suite Simplifies Setup and Management Of Smart Wireless Networks

AMS Suite Intelligent Device Manager 9.5 helps engineers to plan and manage scalable wireless networks. The software provides a common interface for users to manage their wired and wireless instruments and valves. Wireless device configuration is streamlined and drag-and-drop functionality automates the writing of join keys into wireless devices, which increases both efficiency and security. The SNAP-ON application lets users plan, customize, visualize and manage smart networks by uploading an aerial image of the plant, instead of having to conduct in-depth site surveys and prepare blueprints. Also included is the MV Engineering Assistant SNAP-ON application, which enables configuration and test calculation functions on HART and Foundation fieldbus multivariable transmitters from Rosemount. AlertTrack allows users to group multiple devices and set parameters to receive customized alerts. It also provides increased visibility to the status of field devices and documentation of parameter changes to help identify equipment issues and areas for improvement. PlantWeb Services facilitate the integration of work processes with the asset management system.

Workflow Management Program Creates Trend Graphs and Graphics

Uniformance Process Studio's user-friendly interface facilitates process performance analysis in workflow management applications. It builds trend graphs and graphics, without requiring extensive personnel training and manual configuration. This software is designed to be used with the manufacturer's Uniformance PHD (performance history database), which gathers critical data from equipment and instrumentation located throughout a plant.
