With our assets360 modular building blocks we have created the following application modules. In most cases these application modules can be used on their own to execute a business logic. They can also be combined with other application, infrastructure and connector modules.

Machine File

The Machine File provides an in-depth look into the machines and devices. With the Machine File module, it is possible to map your physical machine hierarchy to a digital representation. The Machine File can be connected to other modules to support and extend functionality such as condition monitoring, predictive maintenance and support. 

The UI for the Machine File can be customized as per customer needs

Industrial Analytics

An out-of-the-box industrial analytics module is offered using Empolis Service Express Industrial Analytics. This smart solution allows you to accurately predict maintenance of machines, order the right parts in advance and save unnecessary costs thanks to intelligent data analysis.
With targeted data analysis, not only is wear and tear accurately predicted but also where the cause is located. This allows you to take targeted action before your machine fails. In addition to machine data, the entire process is intelligently evaluated to increase production performance. The findings of the analyses are also valuable for customer service- repair times and spare parts procurement can now be precisely planned.

For more information about the Empolis Service Express Industrial Analytics solution, please see our Solutions page.

The Industrial Analytics Network (IAN) is offered along with our Machine File, Service Book (ticket management) and Service Milestones modules.
