Asset Modeling
Asset templates are a kind of "blueprint" for assets. They determine which attributes an asset has, such as "temperature," "humidity," "light intensity," or the "number of people." These attributes define the values that can be monitored or controlled with an asset.
When you ↗ create a new asset, you will be prompted to select an asset template. The asset created this way will then contain all the predefined attributes of the template.
Why Use Asset Templates?
Manually creating assets can be very time-consuming, especially if each asset needs to be equipped with specific attributes.
With asset modeling, you can create templates for different asset types and reuse them as often as you like.
Example: Smoke Detector
A building contains hundreds of smoke detectors.
Without asset modeling, you would have to create each smoke detector individually and equip it with the appropriate attributes.
With asset modeling, you create the "Smoke Detector" asset template once. This template already contains all the relevant attributes. When you now create a new smoke detector, you simply duplicate the template and only adjust the specific properties such as location or ID.
▷ This saves time and ensures uniform management of your assets. 🚀
