An information model is a framework that aligns with an asset hierarchy

The objective of assigning an asset hierarchy, whether brownfield or greenfield, reduces manual

effort of traditional data collection methods.

The information model framework can be tailored to asset hierarchies and where there is typical deployment of assets, the framework can become a template to achieve non-recurring engineering.

Creating an Information Model:

• Contextualizes data sets for big data

analysis projects

• Allows OT engineer to organize data in

context as it pertains to the OT assets

• Increases engineering efficiency for project

deployment

• Simplifies maintenance and updates

Use Case


• Smart Objects were used to define

parent/child relationship of data

(Smart Object Model)

• Trigger logic collected data

on machine state change, creating

real-time transaction

management

Example Use Case: Rockwell Automation Contactor Line

• Smart Objects Model were

discovered automatically and

synchronized with Edge Gateway

Information Model

• Data was stored and forwarded

to information applications

• Smart Object Model and streaming

data was set up for automatically

populating ThingWorx

• Data Visualization was configured

using pre-built templates
