Asset Service

TCUP - TCS Connected Universe Platform

Asset Service

Any Internet of Things (IoT) or Industrial Internet system involves “things” or “assets”. These are nothing but real world

objects that are part of our environment, place of work, economic activity or business process. It is these “things” or

“assets” such as machines, equipment, buildings, vehicles, etc. that are of interest to stakeholders TCUP Asset Service is a

sophisticated platform for modelling of assets, their relationship with other assets, their properties and mapping of asset

properties with IoT devices and sensors. TCUP Asset Service forms the foundation for building smart IoT applications and

digital twins.

Challenges

Enterprises feel the need to improve operational efficiency and utilization of assets, to reduce downtime and

maintenance cost. Enterprises suffer from inadequate visibility of assets, asset data that is incomplete and disjoint,

stored in parts in disparate systems and disconnect with IoT data. There is no single integrated and real-time view of all

assets of an enterprise.

Overview

Asset Service component of TCUP is a combination of a powerful asset-modelling tool and an asset data service with real-time synchronization with IoT data from sensors and edge devices. Its capabilities are as follows – Ability to define asset domains, asset templates, asset types and asset instances. Sophisticated modelling capabilities allow complex asset models to be created. Arbitrary types, sub-types and instances can be modelled. Complex systems can be modeled as assets using composite models. Any number of asset instances can be defined. Parent-child relationships, containment relationships and any arbitrary relationship between assets can be created. Multiple versions of models can be maintained and tracked. Asset properties can be mapped to sensors, other calculated variables and other asset properties as well as external web data. Ability to capture time stamped events and event history associated with assets. Role and permission based access to domains, asset types and instances. Asset models from external systems such as OSI PI and OPC UA based systems can be synchronized in real-time with TCUP Asset Service data.
