▪ An asset avatar type is a digital blueprint for a class of physical assets

of the same type.

First We Start with an Asset Avatar Type

▪ Asset avatars are an instance of an asset avatar type and inherit a

subset of properties and metadata.

▪ An asset avatar is a digital representation of a physical asset.

Then We Derive Asset Avatars

▪ It serves as a digital proxy for physical assets with continuously updated

sensor values to meet the needs of data consumers.

▪ Not all of our Industrial IoT customers are prepared to move their data

and operations to the cloud, so Lumada runs everywhere.

Portability to Meet Customers Where They Are

Assets Edge Core

▪ Lumada runs fully on-prem, in a hybrid on-prem to cloud configuration

or completely in the cloud as needed.

▪ Many customers have already made a sizable investment in their own

apps, analytics, data management and visualization systems.

▪ Customers can integrate with Lumada via the asset avatar data query

service, the real-time data consumer queue and data integration

connectors.

The Future of Lumada

The Future of Asset Avatar Types

Asset

Avatar

Type

Baseline metadata about this type of asset

Names, data types, and units of measure for every sensor and actuator exposed by

the asset

User-defined KPIs, thresholds, and rate of change velocity per sampling for each sensor

Asset configuration information including network interface, protocols, data formats,

parsing and data transformation information required to initiate telemetry ingestion

Code to be executed against incoming telemetry since data structure is known in advance

Analytic engines or runtimes used to execute code

New or updated metadata contributed by one asset avatar to be shared with all asset

avatars of the same type

If it’s a Child of a complex Parent Asset Avatar Type, it will also contain the Unique ID

of the Parent Asset Avatar Type to maintain the Parent/Child relationship

Latest versions of Software and firmware plus the path to retrieve updates

The Future of Asset Avatars

Asset

Avatar

Baseline metadata about this particular asset

Names of every asset sensor along with current and historical values

Names of every asset actuator to receive commands from authorized services

and relay them to the actual asset

New or updated metadata to be shared with the Asset Avatar Type it’s derived from

If it’s a Child of a complex Parent Asset Avatar, it will also contain the Unique ID of

the Parent Asset Avatar to maintain the Parent/Child relationship

The Unique ID of the Asset Avatar Type it is derived from

Ongoing maintenance records

The Unique IDs of one or more groups the asset belongs to

Current version of Software and firmware to compare with Asset Avatar Type version

URL of authoritative upstream server node

Location (GPS or other)

Activated + Retired Flag + associated dates and data retention policy

▪ Lumada will move to a distributed, global cloud model that looks like the

Internet using data replication services that work like the Internet

Domain Name Servers (DNS).

▪ Administrators can create and maintain groups, roles, asset avatars,

analytics, ML models, and global instances of Core, Fog, Edge and

Assets with a single SaaS system.

▪ Hitachi and partners will connect Assets to Edge and Fog infrastructure.

Hitachi and partner domain experts will create Asset Avatar Types.

Hitachi and partner data scientists will pick Machine Learning algorithms

and create/train models. Hitachi, partners or the customer will manage

and monitor the entire environment from a single cloud location.
