How Assets are Synchronized with Oracle IoT Asset Monitoring Cloud

During implementation of Oracle Asset Monitoring, part of the Oracle Fusion Cloud IoT Intelligent Applications, you can import your Maintenance Installed Base assets and keep them updated by synchronizing them in Asset Monitoring. When you create new assets in Oracle Maintenance, the Enable IoT check box is selected by default. If selected, when you create or update an asset, Maintenance synchronizes with Asset Monitoring, creating and maintaining a digital twin. If deselected, the synchronization doesn't occur.

Note: Synchronization between Maintenance and Asset Monitoring is only supported if assets are created or updated using the Create Asset page, Edit Asset page, or by using the Installed Base Asset REST API. Assets that are created or updated using File-Based Data Import are not automatically synchronized. You need to import new assets into Asset Monitoring.

The synchronization is initiated from Maintenance, notifying Asset Monitoring that an asset has been created or updated. Asset Monitoring then uses REST Services from Maintenance to retrieve and save applicable asset attributes for the digital twin.

The synchronization process is triggered when these attributes are updated:

  • Asset Number

  • Description

  • Serial Number

  • Operating Organization

  • Allow Maintenance Programs check box

  • New Work Orders check box

  • Enable IoT check box

  • Asset End Date

  • Additional Attributes (Flexfields)

The synchronization is also triggered for an asset meter:

  • Associating a new meter

  • End dating an existing meter

  • Deleting an existing meter before the first reading is recorded

Existing assets can be imported into Asset Monitoring during setup. Then, by selecting the Enable IoT check box, the digital twin can be kept up to date.

You may need additional integration setup to support asset import. For more information, refer to the Using Oracle IoT Asset Monitoring Cloud Service guide available in the Oracle library.
