Industrial Asset Intelligence connects an asset's identity, history, condition, work, relationships and technical evidence — so owners and service specialists can make better lifecycle decisions.
The knowledge about a critical machine is scattered: a work order in the CMMS, a reading in a historian, a PDF report in someone's inbox, a measurement on a technician's phone, an object in the ERP. When a person leaves or a service contract ends, that knowledge leaves with them.
Each system holds one fragment:
Work orders and maintenance records.
Ad-hoc tracking and inspection reports.
Undocumented know-how that walks out the door.
Raw signals and time-series, with no context.
External findings that never return to the owner.
Costs and inventory, disconnected from condition.
None of them holds the whole asset. Asset Intelligence is the layer that connects them around a single, persistent record.
Four capabilities turn scattered data into a decision.
Every asset has a permanent digital identity — independent of any single system, vendor or technician.
Complete operational, maintenance and service history, preserved across people, vendors and systems.
Hierarchy, relationships, operating conditions and technical evidence connected to the asset.
Not only what happened, but what should be done next — and what it costs or saves.
An industrial asset is not a row in a CMMS, a signal in a historian, an object in SAP, a PDF report or a work order. It is a persistent entity that accumulates information throughout its entire lifecycle.
Wertek treats the asset as the durable center; every system becomes a contributor to its record, not another silo.
Owners and service specialists contribute to — and draw from — the same permissioned record.
The owner keeps asset knowledge in-house, across vendor changes.
The specialist standardizes evidence and demonstrates service value over time.
One asset. One living record. Shared by owners and specialists. Aligned outcome: maximize asset value and lifecycle performance.
Each step builds on the previous one.
The loop closes when the outcome is measured and written back to the asset — so the next decision starts from verified ground.
Six layers of industrial asset intelligence — from what the asset is to what a decision is worth.
Different systems specialize in different layers. Wertek connects the layers around the same asset.
Wertek organizes intelligence by how an asset physically behaves — not only by industry or manufacturer. That's how the same diagnostic knowledge is reused across sectors.
Motors, pumps, compressors, turbines.
Vibration, temperature, speed, load, lubrication, alignment.
Transformers, heat exchangers, boilers, panels.
Temperature gradients, insulation condition, pressure, flow and thermal stress.
Generators, drives, inverters, batteries and protection systems.
Electrical loading, harmonics, switching behavior, insulation and protection events.
Forklifts, trucks and mining equipment.
Duty profile, operating environment, movement, energy use and operator context.
Presses, welders and batch machinery.
Cycles, throughput, load variation, idle time and process-dependent wear.
Physical-behavior templates are how one engineering model serves many industries.
Each system has a center. Asset Intelligence is the complementary layer that connects them around the asset — it does not replace them.
| System | Primary focus | Typical system of record | How Wertek relates |
|---|---|---|---|
| CMMS | Maintenance execution | Work orders and PM plans | Adds asset context, evidence and cross-company continuity |
| APM | Asset performance & risk | Condition, risk and performance models | Grounds risk scores in the asset's real history and evidence |
| FSM | Field service execution | Technicians, visits and contracts | Preserves technical knowledge around the serviced asset |
| Historian | Time-series data | Process signals | Connects signals to asset history and decisions |
| ERP | Business transactions | Costs, inventory and assets | Links maintenance decisions to their financial impact |
| Document management | Files and controlled documents | Document / content management systems | Associates documents, evidence and revisions with the asset's operational history |
| Wertek Asset Intelligence | The asset itself | A contextualized living record connected across systems | The complementary layer that connects them around the asset |
Asset Intelligence does not replace these systems — it connects them around the asset. New to the categories? Start with our CMMS & asset management explained.
Each one follows the same chain: evidence → interpretation → action → verified outcome.
It's the discipline of connecting an asset's identity, history, condition, work and technical evidence into a single living record, so owners and service specialists can make better lifecycle decisions.
Not exactly. A digital twin typically represents or models an asset and may simulate its behavior. Asset Intelligence focuses on connecting and interpreting the asset's identity, history, condition, evidence and decisions. The two approaches are complementary.
Not exactly. A CMMS primarily manages maintenance execution — work orders, preventive plans, labor and parts. Asset Intelligence connects that maintenance record with condition, telemetry, technical evidence, service history and lifecycle decisions around the asset.
No. It can start as a record and memory — documents, photos, inspections — and grow toward telemetry and AI when it makes sense.
Yes. Owners invite providers to a shared, permissioned record; each party sees only what the owner authorizes.
The organization designated as the data owner retains control. Access is permissioned, auditable and revocable, with data portability built in.
Wertek is designed to connect with maintenance systems, historians, ERP platforms and industrial data sources through APIs, protocols, event streams and project-specific integrations. Availability depends on the target system and deployment.
Yes. Cloud or on-prem with Docker; hardware-agnostic.
