Digital Analyzer Solutions

Endress+Hauser’s Digital Analyzer Solutions extend optical and emission analyzers with software‑defined data acquisition, evaluation, visualization, and fleet monitoring. They turn raw analyzer outputs into auditable reports, dashboards, and alarms, enabling faster decisions, predictive maintenance, and higher availability across plants and fleets. The portfolio centers on three offerings: Monitoring Box, MEAC300, and the Maritime Suite.

Monitoring Box provides continuous, remote oversight of devices, analyzer systems, and applications by combining historic and real‑time data to surface limit excursions, status changes, and trends. Pre-defined data models and browser dashboards deliver diagnostics, statistics, and forecasts, while user-defined notifications support event-oriented actions. Data can be exported (CSV), integrated via API, and hosted off‑premises (monitoringbox.endress.com) or on an industrial PC; the service is delivered as SaaS.

MEAC300 is a digital emissions data manager for CEMS environments. It acquires, evaluates, stores, visualizes, and transmits emissions data, calculating 5‑s values, rolling averages, and mass emissions for regulatory reporting. Variants align to regional rules (e.g., EP/EPW/DE) and support evaluation to the Industrial Emissions Directive, EN 14181 QAL2 and optional QAL3. Benefits include Windows‑based installation, simulated commissioning, Modbus‑capable device integration without extra wiring, and optional redundant data acquisition/output.

Maritime Suite tailors the same digital value chain to shipboard operations via three modules: MARpems (redundant emission monitoring for scrubber applications), MARdiagnostics (cloud‑based condition monitoring for the CEMS), and MARlogger (GHG monitoring via emissions mass‑flow calculation). Hosting spans DNV‑certified onboard PCs and cloud, reducing manual entry and enabling fleet‑level transparency. MARpems can maintain temporary compliance in the event of analyzer failure per IMO MEPC.1/Circ.883/Rev.1.

Architecturally, the solutions connect to measuring devices directly and through analog acquisition units, aggregate and contextualize signals, and present them via secure web UIs. Integration into distributed control systems is supported where required, so compliance reporting and process dashboards can be fed to the DCS, historian, or cloud analytics without bespoke middleware.

For plant engineers, the immediate payoffs are higher transparency and fewer blind spots: continuous condition monitoring helps you “see” degradations early, schedule service based on need, and document verification steps—raising availability while reducing response times and field hours. For operators, real‑time alarms and logbooks accelerate troubleshooting; for system designers, off‑prem or on‑prem hosting plus open data exchange (CSV/API) simplify cybersecurity and IT alignment.

Typical applications include emissions reporting and compliance management in combustion plants across chemicals, oil & gas, power, cement, metals, paper/wood, and waste‑to‑energy; predictive condition monitoring of analyzers, dust/flow meters, and opacity monitors; and maritime scrubber performance, conformity status tracking, and operations in emission control areas. Selecting MEAC300 for stationary CEMS, Monitoring Box for cross‑asset condition monitoring, and Maritime Suite for ship fleets provides a coherent digital layer over existing analyzers.
