Smart Assets – new capabilities, new solutions
 Focus on the data of interest





Instead of sharing database of all assets, share only the data on a single asset
Asset data in one place and physically associated with asset
Improves decision making at the point of read
Enterprise security issues eliminated

 Supplements network access
 Tag is always available, even when the network is not
 Tag-Cloud synchronization creates high level of visibility

 More advantages
 No need for wires, batteries
 Placements can be extremely remote
 Inside structural elements, hazardous locations

Smart Assets – new capabilities, new solutions (continued)
 Communications channel
 Writing to the tag is equivalent to sending a message
 The message is concise, and relevant when read

 Distributed record keeping
 Formerly: asset data stored in many databases with multiple owners
 Now: asset data in one place and physically associated with the asset
 Database access complexities are removed

Process Industries: The Challenge
“Many different job functions touch these critical assets. Keeping
track of all data necessary to do meaningful process improvement
was problematic ”
Chemical Company – Tego Customer

“Who did what when??”
“How long has it been in service?”
“How many times was it cycled?”
“Who pressure tested it?”
“Is that new sleeve in this one?”
“When did it fail?”
“When was it last rebuilt?”
