2 Cornerstone Instrument Management Application Features
Cornerstone Software provides… Instrument Maintenance and Calibration Management Intuitive Instrument Configuration records Regulated calibration practices and procedures Maintenance history & performance trending Support of Control System solutions Administer smart communication hardware (multiplexer networks) Remote access to instrument diagnostics DDE interface to parameters and process values Safety and Quality Audit Requirements All activities are documented, traceable and compliant Use: Commissioning and Startup Activities Problems of conventional “fill in the blanks” database vs. instrument templates Historical Database ensures configuration changes are recorded Flow through of project data to operations groups – maintenance starts from Day 1 On-going Maintenance Minimises operational productivity losses at plant startup - Searching for correct data Calibration work procedures are inherently defined Smart calibration reduces time and costs

3 The Open Platform for Instrument Management
As a non-aligned software manufacturer, we support the widest range of instrumentation and calibration devices. Cornerstone supports HART© “Smart” and Analog Devices HART® Communication support Cornerstone products interface all the major HART® multiplexer vendors. HART® Field Device support Cornerstone has Device Specific Model Libraries for Instruments from over 20 leading instrument vendors. Multi-Vendor Calibration support Cornerstone offers Calibration Libraries (drivers) for leading calibrator vendors such as Beta, Druck, Fluke & Transmation. Open Architecture: Single focus business – not a division of larger business scope Not allied to one vendor over another Real world changes demand adaptation Driven by vendor and customer demand
