Asset identification and classification system in LogiX

Applies to LogiX v. 3.10 and above. Asset identifiers are currently limited to ISA95, other options will be added gradually in upcoming releases.

Each asset defined in LogiX can be described in two ways, by assigning it:

  • to one or more asset taxonomy classification

  • one or more unique identifier from group of identifiers

Asset taxonomies

LogiX platform comes with built in asset taxonomies (i.e. ISA95) and allows to define any number of custom ones. To support efficient management of Taxonomies they are grouped in namespaces. Each taxonomy have unique name in their namespace and is uniquely identified by name + namespace.

Taxonomies that are built-in into LogiX are grouped in ‘LogiX' namespace. More on taxonomies in Build-in and custom classification dictionaries (Taxonomies)

Example of asset taxonomies:

  • ISA95 asset location (built-in)

  • types of packaging machines (built-in)

  • required authorization levels to access equipement (custom)

  • asset location of equipement (custom)

Asset Identifiers

Currently PackOS supports only ISA95 identifiers.

Examples of identifiers that we will be able to handle in the future:

  • manufacturer serial number

  • internal company asset id

ISA95 support in LogiX

ISA95 standard, which is widely used in manufacturing industry it is present both as classification and unique identification of assets.
The resource address in ISA 95 in Logic is built from the Asset codes configured in ConfigHub application as described here: Adding New Assets.

In LogiX line codes must be unique for the entire factory.
This allows the line code itself to be used as its sufficient identifier when importing or exchanging data via the API for production orders and products.
