Emerson AMS Optics introduction

Emerson AMS Optics is a cloud-ready asset performance management platform designed for industrial environments. It collects and consolidates real-time diagnostic data from field instruments, valves, and rotating equipment, providing operations and maintenance teams with actionable visibility into asset health across the entire OT infrastructure.

Deployed across refineries, chemical plants, power generation facilities and critical process industries, AMS Optics plays a central role in predictive maintenance strategies. By aggregating device-level intelligence from HART, WirelessHART and fieldbus-connected instruments, it enables early detection of degradation, reduces unplanned downtime and supports condition-based maintenance workflows. In OT environments, AMS Optics typically resides on the plant network (Level 3 of the Purdue model), where it interfaces directly with the control and instrumentation layer.

Key Cybersecurity Challenges to Overcome

Operational Imperatives Driving OT/IT Convergence
AMS Optics centralizes critical asset health diagnostics from thousands of field devices
Enterprise analytics and optimization depend on continuous, real-time access to industrial data streams
Batch or delayed replication breaks operational value
The Cybersecurity Risks of Traditional Integration
Two-way protocols create persistent attack paths into OT
Firewalls lack context for industrial data flows and rely on rules that cannot prevent zero-day or unknown threats
Asset management platforms become high-value pivot targets
Why Cyberium's OWA is a Natural Fit for Securing OT Infrastructures running Emerson AMS Optics?
