The Asset Manager provides the connectivity to monitor, troubleshoot, and maintain configured equipment points located in a customer’s facility. Asset Manager ensures that high CAPEX assets are safe, reliable, and efficient over their operating life. Rule-driven fault detection, notification, and diagnostics display in a time-series format with total duration of existence. This allows equipment managers to easily pinpoint and fix equipment problems.
All data displays in easy-to-read dashboards and provides for developing equipment KPIs.

The following dashboards are available in Asset Manager:
- Graphics and Point Binding
- View graphics on the cloud, including graphical visibility of faults.
- Chilled Water Plant Graphics
-
Create chiller plant graphics in a few easy steps and then easily monitor points on plant room graphics. The user is able to view the ON/OFF condition of equipment connected to the plant room, and also view live data on graphics. View the FDD count of equipment on the chart.
- Air Schematic Graphics
-
View the AHU riser for each installation location on floors. The AHU riser displays the active faults, and the user is able to easily navigate to the respective AHU details.
- Command and Control
- Control the set points, schedules, or command equipment directly from the cloud. The feature provides the user with the ability to control multiple BAS systems from one single view for any location across the world. In cases of energy, this is managed locally and seamlessly. Use the cloud to command and control equipment remotely. The user is able to either command instantly or use a timer option to set their command for defined durations. The command is able to be relinquished so that control is given back to the BAS system.
- Case-Based Learning
-
The Case-Based Learning OBEM application can add the site specific root causes for faults triggered. OBEM’s fault algorithm continuously learns and evolves over time, based on user feedback. OBEM’s fault algorithm remembers equipment faults and their previous root causes, so that whenever the same equipment fault occurs again, the user is able to easily identify the likely root cause of the fault.
- Asset Age Analysis
-
OBEM’s asset aging tables consider asset age and plot efficiency design, versus actual efficiency. This helps the user determine when they should conduct asset maintenance versus when it is time for an asset change. The current focus is on chillers, boilers, AHU’s, lifts, and diesel generators. KPI cards help users to briefly monitor the assets or their competing alternatives to purchase or finally dispose of an asset, when it is equally appropriate to be implemented on technical grounds. The table separates the overall installed equipment base of the portfolio into four categories. All installed equipment is represented under equipment quantity and their net percentage share is represented for each category.
- Fault Detection and Diagnostics Rule Library
-
OBEM has a predefined library of FDD rules covering more than 30 equipment types. OBEM writes site specific FDD rules using mathematical, statistical, and logical functions. OBEM assigns category and priority for each rule. OBEM specifies user defined categorization and prioritization of rule sets. Users can categorize and prioritize FDD rules differently for each piece of equipment giving unique flexibility.
- Fault Mute
-
Users can silence the fault detection logic at the equipment level or at the global level for a predefined period of time. Fault mute functionality ensures OBEM provides detailed reports as part of fault mute audit trail. Fault mute functionality is user configurable, and OBEM gives multiple options for fault mute from different easy to use UI.
- System Fault Rules
-
Users can write fault detection and diagnostics (FDD) rules using data points from different equipment installed in the facility. System fault rules are used for identification operation, maintenance, or improvement issues beyond equipment. OBEM provides the unique ability to identify system level issues while individual equipment might be operating correctly. OBEM's library of system fault rules adapt to any install base and automatically generated new FDD rules based on site specific equipment base.
- Fault Cost
-
Users can calculate equipment excess energy consumption during fault condition. OBEM writes fault cost expression based on mathematical, statistical, and logical operator using data points of equipment, constant and specifications. OBEM has a library of fault cost rules along with flexibility to create site specific fault cost equations. OBEM calculates fault cost as per equipment operating conditions, cooling energy or heating energy. Fault cost aggregate to different dashboards for easier interpretation. OBEM's unique feature of cost calculation is dynamically adjusts fault cost equation based on sample frequency of different data points.
- Building Metadata in FDD Rules
-
OBEM imports reference data from the configuration in FDD rules. Reference data consists of equipment specifications, constants, building occupancy schedule and working and non-working days classifications. This functionality reduces the dependency on required data from under line BAS system. Reference data import feature creates template version of FDD rules, and applies them to different sites and equipment without rewriting for different sites.
- Virtual Point
-
OBEM creates virtual points using mathematical, logical, and statistical functions in formulas with one or more data points. It also creates virtual points for a single piece of equipment and logic at global level applied to all similar types of equipment. OBEM provides additional features in terms of using virtual point in fault detection and diagnostics. Use Virtual point as another data source of OBEM along with live data stream from the underlying BAS.
