Abstract
An asset monitoring and reporting system (AMRS) implements an interface to establish an asset hierarchy to be monitored and reported against. The interface employs a search query of extant asset data from which definitional aspects of the asset hierarchy can be identified, and therefrom the interface automatically determines control information reflective of the asset hierarchy to direct the ongoing operation of the AMRS.
Claims30
A method comprising:
- performing a search of data based at least in part on user-supplied criteria information, the data including operational machine data from one or more components of a system producing asset data;
- causing display of at least a portion of a table, the table including a result of the search having a first column of asset identifier values and a second column of asset identifier values, each unique asset identifier value from among the first and second columns identifying a unique respective asset, and wherein an asset corresponding to an asset identifier value of the second column of a particular row has a parental hierarchical relationship to an asset corresponding to an asset identifier value of the first column of the particular row;
- receiving user input indicating the first column as an asset identifier column and the second column as an asset parent identifier column;
- creating automatically a computer representation of an asset hierarchy based at least in part on the user input and the result of the search;
- and
- wherein the method is performed by one or more processors.
A system comprising:
- a memory;
- and
- a processing device coupled with the memory to perform operations comprising:
- performing a search of data based at least in part on user-supplied criteria information, the data including operational machine data from one or more components of a system producing asset data;
- causing display of at least a portion of a table, the table including a result of the search having a first column of asset identifier values and a second column of asset identifier values, each unique asset identifier value from among the first and second columns identifying a unique respective asset, and wherein an asset corresponding to an asset identifier value of the second column of a particular row has a parental hierarchical relationship to an asset corresponding to an asset identifier value of the first column of the particular row;
- receiving user input indicating the first column as an asset identifier column and the second column as an asset parent identifier column;
- and
- creating automatically a computer representation of an asset hierarchy based at least in part on the user input and the result of the search.
A non-transitory computer readable storage medium encoding instructions thereon that, in response to execution by one or more processing devices, cause the one or more processing devices to perform operations comprising:
- causing display of at least a portion of a table, the table including a result of the search having a first column of asset identifier values and a second column of asset identifier values, each unique asset identifier value from among the first and second columns identifying a unique respective asset, and wherein an asset corresponding to an asset identifier value of the second column of a particular row has a parental hierarchical relationship to an asset corresponding to an asset identifier value of the first column of the particular row;
- receiving user input indicating the first column as an asset identifier column and the second column as an asset parent identifier column;
- and
- creating automatically a computer representation of an asset hierarchy based at least in part on the user input and the result of the search.
