An Asset Directory represents a unique Asset tree structure, which can be seen as a domain to support the organization of different Assets in independent structures.

In Critical Manufacturing MES, an Asset Directory will provide an ISA-95 inspired structure marked as a Manufacturing Directory, defined upon creation. That ISA-95 inspired structure is fixed and will have a corresponding Manufacturing Data Model structure similar to what can be found in the MES application. There can be multiple Asset Directories of other types that can use a free structure, whereas the Manufacturing Asset Directory must be a single unique instance.

The Manufacturing Asset Directory data model can be seen below:

Note

Enterprise, Site, Facility, Container, Resource and Device represent different Asset Classes.

Here is an example of a possible Manufacturing Asset Directory:

There is a search box that allows you to search for a specific Asset. The search works as an incremental search where every character typed into the box will expand or collapse as needed to see all the Assets that match the specific search term.
