Asset Management with niota: Manage and track assets via new IoT software module

With the asset management module in niota, assets are digitized, tracked and easily found.

One IoT platform - infinite possibilities? For special use cases, IoT software often lacks the right solution. While hardware in the IoT sector has significantly developed in recent years, the software has stagnated in terms of functionality. To add specialized functionality to our IoT software, we are creating modules that can be added to our platform with one click. DIGIMONDO's first module solves the asset management challenge: operating assets can be digitized, tracked, and easily found in our IoT software.

Get a complete overview of operating equipment with IoT

Whether in manufacturing, mining, oil and gas, construction, or healthcare - companies in all industries work with numerous machines, plants, and mobile tools every day. Effective asset management has a significant impact on a company's operational productivity and bottom line. However, it has been difficult to get an overall view of the location, usage, and condition of goods or items until now. Incorporating the Internet of Things (IoT) into asset management opens up compelling opportunities for optimizing process efficiency, transparency, and automation.

Operational assets such as goods and objects are both assets and work tools in many organizations. However, questions often arise, "Where is my asset? What condition is it in?" Our IoT software provides answers. The classic methods in asset management experience high optimization through IoT: Assets get with installation of sensors, a connectivity method such as LoRaWAN or WiFi, and an IoT software a system in which position data can be linked with other information from IoT data. The most crucial component here is the IoT software, where the data is merged and analyzed. Sensors are attached to assets to collect information about position and condition. From this information, regardless of hardware manufacturer and technology, our asset management module creates a unified overview in a map or list. This makes it easy to find assets again and to track position changes via the visualization of historical data. In addition, automation of processes is possible via the module. If an asset moves out of a defined zone, the software automatically sends a notification via the rule function in the system. Since the software module has the function of displaying assets and zones inside and outside buildings, a detailed asset management solution is created that can be used to map various use cases.

Asset Management for Health Care: Making everyday hospital life easier with niota

Where is the heavy-duty bed located? And on which ward is an infusion pump free? Searching for goods and objects takes up too much of the daily routine in hospitals. DIGIMONDO's Asset Management module provides all hospital professional groups with a solution to create more transparency in locations and workflows while optimizing processes. There is no need for inefficient searching anymore; with a glance at the map or the asset list, the location of the searched object and its status are revealed. The loss of expensive equipment is also reduced through discoverability in the system - as soon as the device leaves a certain area, a notification is sent. In addition, other IoT data such as temperature or CO2 can be used to check the temperature of a room, for example, and send an alert if sensitive equipment is not stored correctly. Via the asset management module, a smart hospital is created that makes everyday life easier and safer for patients and staff.

Asset Management for Industry: Digitize and Optimize Production and Logistics

The efficient management of operating resources is an essential topic, especially in industry. Under the keyword Industry 4.0, more and more processes are being digitalized, and smart solutions are being used. Asset management, in particular, is a much sought-after use case in the IoT: tracking deliveries, monitoring cost-intensive tools, and automating processes - DIGIMONDO's asset management module makes it possible. Load carriers can be tracked across locations, and their condition can be checked remotely. In addition, the creation of zones within the IoT software creates a system in which processes are automatically triggered when an asset arrives in a specific zone. Employees also save time searching for tools and materials by using the map view. Valuable workpieces or tools can also be secured. As soon as they are removed from a specific area, an alarm is automatically triggered. Beyond asset management, DIGIMONDO's IoT software offers many more features that help the smart factory take shape.
