Routine verification of field instrumentation is a common practice in many ISO 9001 manufacturing facilities.
Additionally, in industries such as pharmaceuticals and biopharmaceuticals, manufacturers are mandated by FDA regulations to demonstrate process consistency by routinely verifying their field instrumentation, including Coriolis meters.
While vital, these verification practices result in added operational costs.

The new verification approach further adds to the contribution of Micro Motion Coriolis flowmeters to the proven operational efficiency increase of over 2% resulting from the use of PlantWeb digital plant architecture.
In contrast with traditional approaches, verifying calibration using the AMS Device Manager Calibration Verification Snap-on application provides demonstrated cost savings in a number of ways: Minimises production interruptions and outages Extends intervals between routine verifications Streamlines verification documentation procedures Provides control charting of verification data.
A major pharmaceutical customer of Emerson estimates annual savings of over $350,000 in reduced verification costs using this AMS Device Manager solution for Micro Motion flowmeters.
The Calibration Verification Snap-on application collects and analyses flowmeter data to determine if a change has occurred to the physical structure of the Micro Motion sensing element.
Changes can result from product build-up, corrosion or erosion, resulting in a corresponding change in the density measurement from the Micro Motion meter.
For Micro Motion Coriolis flowmeters, there is a correlation between density of a pure fluid (water or air) and its specific flow calibration factor.
The Calibration Verification Snap-on application informs the user that the change to flow calibration has occurred, and includes recommendations for determining the specific conditions that may have caused the change.
Utilising innovative Micro Motion technology to verify flowmeter performance, AMS Device Manager has further increased the considerable opportunities for manufacturers to improve their process and reduce costs while ensuring regulatory compliance.
