Control interface for asset tree monitoring

Abstract:

An asset monitoring and reporting system (AMRS) implements an interface to establish an asset hierarchy to be monitored and reported against. The interface employs a search query of extant asset data from which definitional aspects of the asset hierarchy can be identified, and therefrom the interface automatically determines control information reflective of the asset hierarchy to direct the ongoing operation of the AMRS. The asset or component hierarchy may further inform operations related to the generation and display of a user interface presenting widgets that graphically depict information about one or more such components during AMRS operation.
