Abstract
Asset management in industrial plants has become an important factor for cost efficient production by helping to reduce the effort for maintaining the plant and the plant instrumentation. This results in a higher availability of the production. The highest possible benefit for the customer can be achieved if the asset management is based upon real-time processing of the information already available in the process control system. The integration of the asset management in the process control system is the logical realization of this requirement and creates additional advantages like uniform look and feel, uniform engineering and reduced engineering effort.
