Process, energy and resource optimisation through analyser performance management
3 ways how KROHNE can help you save your energy consumption:
Automated and optimised analyser management
Predictive maintenance and abnormal behaviour detection
Data insights and process optimisation
Optimising process analysers—such as gas chromatographs, mass spectrometers, and emissions monitoring systems—is essential for quality control and sustainability. In speciality chemical production, for instance, gas chromatographs ensure product purity. Any deviation can lead to off-spec products, wasting materials and energy. KROHNE’s CalSys Analyser Management and Data Acquisition System (AMADAS) optimises these critical instruments, supporting efficient operations, reducing waste, and advancing sustainability.
Why is this important?
In a chemical plant, analyser drift can lead to inaccuracies that result in scrapped batches, wasted resources, and downtime. CalSys mitigates these risks by centralising analyser management, predicting failures, and optimising maintenance, ensuring consistent, reliable analyser performance that prevents waste and enhances overall efficiency.
How does KROHNE’s CalSys AMADAS help?
CalSys is designed to enhance the performance, availability, and predictive maintainability of a wide range of process analysers and other critical instruments. Here’s how it works:
Automated and optimised analyser management
CalSys centralises the management of all analyser instruments, guiding validation processes and streamlining maintenance tasks to ensure maximum efficiency.
Predictive maintenance and abnormal behaviour detection
The system uses advanced analytics to predict and detect abnormal behaviour in analysers, enabling better maintenance scheduling and reducing unexpected downtime.
Data insights and process optimisation
CalSys provides deep insights into the performance, availability, and maintainability of instruments, allowing operators to make informed decisions that optimise resource use and energy efficiency.

The solution for operational excellence and sustainability
In the context of a chemical plant, maintaining the performance and reliability of process analysers is critical to both operational success and sustainability. CalSys supports operators in achieving these objectives by offering a comprehensive toolset for monitoring, analysing, and improving the performance of analyser and quality measurement instruments. This not only leads to better product quality and increased efficiency but also reduces waste and emissions, contributing to a cleaner and more sustainable operation.
KROHNE’s CalSys AMADAS is a powerful tool for chemical plants aiming to achieve operational excellence while also driving sustainability. By optimising the performance of critical analysers, CalSys helps reduce waste, improve energy efficiency, and ensure that resources are used effectively, making it an essential component of any modern, sustainable chemical operation.
KROHNE’s CalSys system supports sustainability in manufacturing by optimising resources, identifying energy-saving opportunities, and preventing analyser downtime with predictive maintenance. By providing accurate lifecycle data and real-time monitoring, CalSys ensures analysers operate reliably and efficiently, reducing waste and minimising environmental impact. Through advanced workflow automation and content management, KROHNE empowers operators with the tools to maintain efficient, sustainable operations with reduced service needs and greater overall resource efficiency.
