Assets

The Assets section in iBMS provides a detailed view of all facilities, locations, spaces, and equipment connected within your building management hierarchy.
It serves as the foundation for monitoring, alarm tracking, and energy analytics.

Assets in iBMS unify all monitored points—allowing users to explore building structures, devices, and energy performance in one interface.

Tasks Overview

Assets define how systems, alarms, and data interconnect across the iBMS ecosystem.

Viewing Asset List​

  • Navigate to iBMS → Assets from the main sidebar.
  • The page displays three tabs:
    • Facilities – Buildings or complexes configured from Core.
    • Equipment – Monitored mechanical or electrical systems.
    • Others – Miscellaneous assets not classified under the above.
  • Each row displays the Asset Name, Type, and Created At date.
  • Click on any row to open its detailed profile.

Facility Profile​

The Facility Profile provides a complete overview of the building’s structure, energy data, and active alarms.

  • Header Section: Displays facility image, name, and location (city, country) as defined in Core.
  • Active Alarms Panel: Split into Monitoring and Energy tabs, showing only unacknowledged or active alarms.
    • Monitoring Tab: Displays parameter name, value/state, range name, severity, and timestamp.
    • Energy Tab: Displays consumption breaches (Daily, Weekly, Monthly, Yearly).
  • Click any alarm to view its detailed alarm panel.

Tabs Overview​

  • Monitoring Tab: Real-time readings and charts for facility-linked devices.
  • Energy Tab: Widgets showing total consumption, cost, and carbon data.
  • Alarms Tab: Comprehensive alarm list with filters and visualization.

Location, Space, and Subspace Profile​

Each Location, Space, or Subspace offers a visual layout viewer to analyze placement and conditions of devices.

  • Layout Viewer: Displays floor or zone layouts uploaded from Core → Asset Management.
  • Devices and parameters are displayed exactly as placed.
  • Filters available by Equipment Class (HVAC, Plumbing, Fire, etc.).

Tabs Overview​

  • Monitoring Tab: Displays parameter readings and live charts for the selected floor or zone.
  • Energy Tab: Shows energy usage, comparison widgets, and consumption breakdowns.
  • Alarms Tab: Displays monitoring and energy alarms along with trends and donut charts.

Equipment Profile​

The Equipment Profile allows users to view equipment graphics, real-time data, and associated alarms.

  • Equipment image is displayed with parameters placed as configured in Core.
  • Header shows equipment name, hierarchy (Facility > Location > Space > Subspace).
  • Active alarms panel includes:
    • Monitoring Tab: Alarms linked to sensor readings (parameter, range, criticality, timestamp).
    • Energy Tab: Energy or consumption-related alarms with breach details.

Tabs Overview​

  • Monitoring Tab: Real-time readings, parameter charts, and analysis graphs.
  • Energy Tab: Energy widgets showing usage, emission, and cost impact.
  • Alarms Tab: Historical alarm logs, trends, and breakdowns.

Assigning Templates​

Templates can be assigned to assets for Monitoring and Energy thresholds.

  • Navigate to iBMS → Templates.
  • From the template list, select a row and choose Assign to Asset.
  • Use the Asset Viewer to bulk assign templates.
  • Alternatively, open an asset profile → click Settings → Apply Template to assign directly.

Assigned templates apply only to future readings.
Existing alarms and thresholds remain based on the previously linked template.

Assigning Fault Rules (Coming Soon)​

This feature will allow users to assign predefined fault detection and diagnostic (FDD) rules to assets, automating condition-based alerts and maintenance workflows.

Personas​

Facility Manager

Monitors overall facility health and alarm activity, reviews real-time energy and monitoring data, and ensures templates are correctly applied for standardization.

Maintenance Supervisor

Tracks alarms by equipment, reviews patterns for recurring issues, and coordinates with teams using alarm and energy dashboards.

Energy Analyst

Analyzes consumption patterns, investigates anomalies, and uses facility-level energy widgets for performance benchmarking.

Key Benefits​

Unified Asset Navigation

Access all building assets and substructures from a single, organized interface.

Real-Time Visibility

Instantly view active alarms, energy patterns, and live data from equipment across facilities.

Template-Based Monitoring

Consistent configuration of alarms and thresholds ensures uniform performance tracking across sites.
