About Assets

Asset management gives you an overview of all assets (e.g., sensors, devices, integrated systems, etc.). You have the option to view and edit asset details in order to store maintenance information or documents, for example.

Every asset and every plant has its own expert system and, associated with it, its own documentation. Using Eliona, any data can be attached to assets and stored in versioned form. The data can be synchronized via SharePoint, thus providing access for a wide range of areas in the company (with or without Eliona login).

With Eliona Asset Management, document management becomes accessible company-wide. This way, every employee can quickly and easily find the documents they need. Through standardized editing and storage, the company retains data sovereignty, a reliable Single Point of Information and saves time by avoiding tedious version searching.

In addition, external service personnel can access the documents of a plant directly online and have all information collected at a glance.

In Asset Management, you get an overview of all assets in your project. You have the option to view and edit asset details.

Example: A fault has occurred in your plant. In Asset Management you will find all assets of your plant. You click on the relevant assets and see all data that is crucial for troubleshooting. In addition, you can retrieve the information for resolving the fault from the stored documents of the relevant asset. From your workstation, you were able to locate the fault, retrieve the necessary data, and now initiate the resolution of the fault without having visited the plant on site.

What are assets?

Assets are a central component of Eliona Systems. You can think of assets as "containers" for data points and information.

Assets are, for example,

• Sensors (thermometers, smoke detectors, etc...)

• Objects (whiteboards, workstations, beds, etc...)

• Rooms

• Buildings

• Floors

• Countries

What are not assets?

Not assets are, for example:

• Users

• Projects
