AMS INSPECTION
ROUNDS FROM
EMERSON
Emerson has released AMS Inspection Rounds, a new application for the
AMS Trex Device Communicator that will make it easier for operations
teams to capture, report and respond to abnormal plant conditions that
pose risks to reliability, safety and performance. The new application
allows personnel to accurately record field condition data and automatically
deliver that data to other plant systems where decision makers can
drive effective action. “Route-based inspections are a key line of defense
for identifying abnormal and unsafe conditions that may reduce efficiency
or put personnel in danger,” Emerson spokesperson Mani Janardhanan
says. “AMS Inspection Rounds helps ensure that issues impacting safety
and reliability are detected, reported and resolved earlier.” With clear
dashboards of routes, status, alerts, and action items, users can identify,
schedule and coordinate steps for resolving issues more quickly.

RENEWABLE STRAWS
BY STORA ENSO AND SULAPAC
Stora Enso and Sulapac continue to combat the global problem of plastic waste
by launching sustainable drinking straws based on a biocomposite material made
of wood and natural binders that are recyclable via industrial composting and can
diodegrade in marine environments. “Eco-awareness is a strong driver for consumer
demand, and our customers want help in replacing non-renewable materials,” Stora
Enso’s Hannu Kasurinen says. “Different biocomposite solutions, such as renewable
caps and closures and straws will be add-ons and a complement to our own consumer
board portfolio, bringing additional value to our customers.” Sulapac founder
and chief executive Suvi Haimi says the recyclable, microplastic-free and marine
biodegradable straws will be commercially available in a couple of months. “This
is the world’s most sustainable straw that can be produced on an industrial scale.
Billions of plastic straws are produced and used every week, so this straw has the
potential to be a true game changer.” www.sulapac.com
