Associating device metrics to asset and location meters
Metrics data from IoT sensor devices, such as data that is gathered by Maximo® Monitor, can be integrated with asset and location meters in Maximo Manage. You can associate device metrics with asset and location meters directly in the Assets, Locations, and Object Structures applications. You can associate data in bulk for large numbers of devices by importing files that pair the IoT devices with the assets and locations by using a metrics ID.
Before you begin
- Ensure that the IoT devices for your monitoring system are registered in the Asset Data Dictionary.
- In Maximo Manage, ensure that the MXASSET and MXOPERLOC object structures are enabled for flat files by selecting the Support Flat File Structure check box for the object structures.
- Resolve any alias conflicts for field names in the object structures.
- Ensure that the appropriate authorizations are assigned for the object structures.
Associating metrics to meters in the Maximo Manage user interface
In the Assets and Locations applications, you can select an asset or location and then associate metrics data from IoT devices by using the Metric ID field on the Meters tab.
About this task
This task describes how to associate metrics that are collected by IoT devices with meter data in the Assets application in Maximo Manage. In the Locations application, you can perform the same steps to associate metrics data with locations.
Procedure
- In the Assets application, locate the asset for which you want to import device metrics.
- On the Meters tab for the asset, select the meter for which you want to import metrics.
- In the Metric ID field, click the search icon.
- In the Select Value window, select the metric that you want to associate with the meter.
- Save the record.
Associating metrics to meters in bulk
You can associate large numbers of metrics with asset and location meters in bulk by importing flat files that pair the IoT devices with the assets and locations by using a metrics ID.
About this task
This task describes how to associate in bulk the metrics that are collected by IoT devices with meter data in the Assets application in Maximo Manage. In the Locations and Object Structures applications, you can perform similar steps to associate metrics data with location meters.
- asset_metric_<file ID>.csv
- The spreadsheet lists data for IoT devices that are associated with the asset or assets that you selected, including metric ID, metric name, device name, and device type. If a metric already is associated with an asset, the meter is listed in the METERNAME cell.
- asset_meter_<file ID>.csv
- The spreadsheet lists the meters that are associated with the Maximo Manage asset or assets that you selected. If an asset meter is already associated with a metric ID, the metric ID is displayed in the METRICID cell.
