Abstract

A system, a method, and a computer program product for providing an asset intelligence network to maintain information about various assets are provided. At least one server generates a first information based on a first data received from at least one first party using at least one template. The server uses the template to generate a second information based on a second data received from at least one second party. The second data is related to the first data. Based on the template, the server creates a uniform record containing a combination of the first information and the second information, and stores the created uniform record.

First claim

What is claimed:

1. A computer-implemented method, comprising:
subscribing, by at least one server, a plurality of parties to a subscription-based network, the plurality of parties including at least one first party
receiving, by the at least one server, a first data from the at least one first party, the first data comprising template data, master data, transactional data, and/or operational data;
generating, by at the least one server and in response to receiving the first data, using at least one template, a first information based on, the at least one first party being a member of the subscription-based network, the at least one template being associated with at least one asset of at least one party in the plurality of parties;
subscribing, by the at least one server, at least one second party of the plurality of parties to the subscription-based network, the subscribing comprising:
receiving a second data from the at least one second party, the second data comprising an identifier of the at least one asset and related to the first data;
matching, based on the identifier, at least a portion of the second data with at least a portion of the first information or the first data; and
subscribing the at least one second party to the subscription-based network based on the matching;

generating, by the at least one server, using the at least one template, a second information based on the second data received from the at least one second party;
creating, by the at least one server and based on the at least one template, a uniform record containing a combination of the first information and the second information associated with the at least one asset; and
storing, by the at least one server, the created uniform record.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one first party and the at least one second party include at least one of the following: an asset provider, an asset operator, a service provider, and a third party.

3. The method according to claim 2 , wherein the first data is generated by the asset provider, wherein the identifier comprises a serial number and/or a manufacturer name.

4. The method according to claim 3 , wherein the first data includes at least one of the following: an equipment taxonomy information, a nameplate information, equipment installation parameters, equipment design and drawings, equipment structure/parts, equipment failure codes/modes of operation, equipment safety controls, equipment process controls, equipment measuring point/telemetry requests, equipment maintenance/inspection strategies, equipment operation and/or maintenance instructions, equipment product training materials, equipment service bulletins and/or revision control, equipment recall information, equipment design improvements, and equipment licenses.

5. The method according to claim 2 , wherein the second data is generated by the asset operator, wherein the asset operator comprises a user of the at least one asset.

6. The method according to claim 5 , wherein the second data includes at least one of the following: equipment installation information, equipment risk and/or control information, equipment maintenance history, equipment usage information, equipment failure/incident data, equipment service bulletin processing, equipment recall processing, and equipment design recommendations.

7. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the matching comprises:
matching a first identifier of the first data with a second identifier of the second data.

8. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the template data comprises a first template available to the plurality of parties of the subscription-based network to submit information regarding the at least one asset, wherein master data comprises data received by the at least one server and from the plurality of parties of the subscription-based network, wherein the transactional data comprises data related to a transaction performed in connection with the at least one asset, and wherein operational data comprises data related to an operations and/or a service associated with the at least one asset.

9. A system comprising:
at least one programmable processor; and
a machine-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by the at least one programmable processor, cause the at least one programmable processor to perform operations comprising:
subscribing a plurality of parties to a subscription-based network, the plurality of parties including at least one first party
receiving a first data from the at least one first party, the first data comprising template data, master data, transactional data, and/or operational data;
generating, by at the least one server and in response to receiving the first data, using at least one template, a first information based on, the at least one first party being a member of the subscription-based network, the at least one template being associated with at least one asset of at least one party in the plurality of parties;

subscribing, by the at least one server, at least one second party of the plurality of parties to the subscription-based network, the subscribing comprising:
receiving a second data from the at least one second party, the second data comprising an identifier of the at least one asset and related to the first data;
matching, based on the identifier, at least a portion of the second data with at least a portion of the first information or the first data; and
subscribing the at least one second party to the subscription-based network based on the matching;

generating, by the at least one server, using the at least one template, a second information based on the second data received from the at least one second party; and
creating, by the at least one server and based on the at least one template, a uniform record containing a combination of the first information and the second information associated with the at least one asset; and
storing, by the at least one server, the created uniform record.

10. The system according to claim 9 , wherein the at least one first party and the at least one second party include at least one of the following: an asset provider, an asset operator, a service provider, and a third party.

11. The system according to claim 10 , wherein the first data is generated by the asset provider, wherein the identifier comprises a serial number and/or a manufacturer name.

12. The system according to claim 11 , wherein the first data includes at least one of the following: an equipment taxonomy information, a nameplate information, equipment installation parameters, equipment design and drawings, equipment structure/parts, equipment failure codes/modes of operation, equipment safety controls, equipment process controls, equipment measuring point/telemetry requests, equipment maintenance/inspection strategies, equipment operation and/or maintenance instructions, equipment product training materials, equipment service bulletins and/or revision control, equipment recall information, equipment design improvements, and equipment licenses.

13. The system according to claim 10 , wherein the second data is generated by the asset operator, wherein the asset operator comprises a user of the at least one asset.

14. The system according to claim 13 , wherein the second data includes at least one of the following: equipment installation information, equipment risk and/or control information, equipment maintenance history, equipment usage information, equipment failure/incident data, equipment service bulletin processing, equipment recall processing, and equipment design recommendations.
