Asset monitoring for facilities and plants

Asset monitoring for facilities and plants: every asset, its state and its health.

Asset monitoring shows the live state and health of every piece of equipment and every device that reports on it. Aqueduct classifies each asset as running, drifting, stopped or silent, includes the health of the sensors themselves, and routes anything that needs attention so it is fixed and verified.

Demo data

Every asset, its state and its health, so nobody walks the site to find out.

One hierarchy

Sites, floors, zones and devices in one place

  • On real floor plans

    Every device sits on the site's CAD floor plan, including multi-floor buildings in one layout.

  • Portfolio map

    All sites appear on one map with their status, so a portfolio manager sees trouble first.

  • Edit it yourself

    Teams create zones and place devices themselves, without waiting on a developer for every change.

Four clear states

Every asset is running, drifting, stopped or silent

  • Against expected behavior

    Each asset is classified against its own expected pattern and baseline, not a fixed threshold.

  • Drift caught early

    Equipment slowly moving off normal is flagged before it reaches a stop.

  • Per component performance

    Component health, target attainment and runtime share show which part of an asset is struggling.

Trust the data

Know which sensor to believe and which to replace

  • Device health

    Connection rate and battery or capacitor voltage per device show data quality at a glance.

  • Right device, right place

    A failing sensor is named by location, so a technician goes straight to it.

  • Ask the platform

    aQ Assistant answers which assets changed this week and warns when data coverage is thin.

How does this week compare to the last few weeks?
12% below last week, driven by lower HVAC load on weekday afternoons. Two days had low meter coverage.

Old way vs the Aqueduct way

Asset visibility, before and after Aqueduct

The old way
  • The asset register lists equipment but not what it is doing.
  • A meter goes silent and nobody notices for weeks.
  • Equipment drifts off normal with no alert until it stops.
  • Finding a dead battery means walking the whole building.
  • Each system shows its own assets in its own tool.
The Aqueduct way
  • Every asset shows its live state: running, drifting, stopped, silent.
  • Silent devices are flagged as soon as reporting stops.
  • Drift against baseline is flagged before the asset stops.
  • Device health names the sensor and its exact location.
  • One hierarchy holds every asset across water, energy and air.
The problem

What assets look like without Aqueduct

Most teams cannot answer a simple question: is everything running as it should right now?

01

Asset lists, not asset states

The register says what equipment exists. It does not say what each piece is doing.

02

Silent sensors

A meter stops reporting and nobody notices until a report is missing data.

03

Drift before failure

Equipment slowly moves off its normal behavior with no alert until it stops.

04

Walking the site

To find which device needs a battery or a repair, someone walks the building.

How it works

How asset monitoring works

Powered by aQ PredictIQ on aQ Core.

01

Locate everything

Every site, floor, zone, device and piece of equipment sits in the aQ Core hierarchy, on real floor plans.

02

Read state and telemetry

Meters, sensors, BMS points and field devices report into one data layer. Each device has data, health, events and event group views.

03

Check the sensors themselves

Device health reports connection rate and battery or capacitor voltage, so you know which device at which location needs attention.

04

Classify the asset

Running, drifting, stopped or silent, against each asset's expected behavior and baseline. Performance shows per-component health and runtime share.

05

Route and verify

Assets that need attention are routed to your CMMS or EAM, and their state is confirmed after the work.

One incident, start to finish

One silent asset, start to finish

An illustrative case across a multi-site portfolio.

Monitor

Meters and sensors across the portfolio report into aQ Core.

Measure

Each device has an expected reporting rate and each asset an expected operating pattern.

Identify

A sub-meter on a cooling line has gone silent, and its battery voltage was falling before it stopped. Aqueduct names the device and its location.

Act

A ticket goes to the CMMS to replace the battery at that location, with the health history attached.

Verify

The meter reports again and its connection rate returns to normal. The balance it feeds closes again.

Operations

No live view of what equipment is doing.

Every asset classified by state and health.

Problems seen before they become outages.

Water

Silent meters leave gaps in the balance.

Device health watched alongside the data.

Balances and baselines that can be trusted.

Energy

Assets drifting into waste.

Asset energy compared with its own baseline.

Drift caught early and priced.

Questions

Common questions

It is the live view of what each piece of equipment and each reporting device is doing and how healthy it is.

A device or asset that has stopped reporting. Aqueduct flags it, and device health often shows the warning signs, such as falling battery voltage, beforehand.

No. Aqueduct integrates with your EAM and CMMS. They remain the systems of record for assets and work.

Anything that emits telemetry, including water, electricity and gas meters, air quality sensors, vibration and acoustic sensors, and equipment connected over Modbus or BACnet.
