Asset Modeling (previously called Asset Management) enables you to add assets to your IXON Cloud company. Similar to an IXON edge gateway, the asset represents a machine, but without an actual physical device linked to it. It is a representation of the machine and all of its individual components.

This makes it possible for you to have an overview of all your machines in the Portal, whether they have an IXON edge gateway installed in them or not. Using the Document Management app from the Marketplace you can then also add user manuals and other machine documentation to all your machines and individual components, centralizing all your machine information in the IXON Cloud. Even for machines that do not have an IXON edge gateway installed in them.

You can also use other apps from the Marketplace that are designed specifically for Assets, like the Wear and Tear app that enables you to monitor the wear and tear of each of your machine's individual components. This gives you insight in when a machine component might break or needs maintenance, enabling you to provide a better service to your customers and keep machine downtime to a minimum.
