Here are the latest features released for SAP Asset Performance Management in 2503. We are pleased to announce significant updates, including Visual Asset Health Monitoring. This release also includes improvements to Manage Rules, Manage Alerts, and Manage Recommendations. 

Asset Health Monitoring

Enable Visual Asset Health Monitoring

SAP Asset Performance Management 2503 enables Visual Asset Health Monitoring. You can elevate your asset management strategy with AI-powered visual inspections.

By collecting and analyzing images of your assets, you can gain real-time insights into their health and predict potential failures before they occur. By documenting asset condition over time, Visual Asset Health Monitoring provides valuable insights into an asset's health and performance. Using AI-powered image analysis, it is possible to measure wear and predict potential failure with greater accuracy. Analyzing images can help identify issues before they lead to operational disruptions. This allows for timely alerts and maintenance notifications, preventing costly downtime and ensuring optimal asset performance. 
(*This is applicable for embedded IoT only)

Initiate Rule on-demand

You can now initiate a rule on-demand at any point of time, without having to wait for the automated run of the rule as per configurations. This would be helpful to perform a testing after setting a new rule or changing a rule. To do so, select the desired rule that is in Active status and click on the Run Rule Now button. This button is disabled when you select a rule that is not in active status. Read more on Triggering a rule YoungHoe_Koo_0-1743429016973.png(*This is applicable for embedded IoT only)

There are more enhancements with Rules. 

  • Manage Rule Runs API: The API is enhanced to view rule execution results, including errors, rule details, activation, execution, and involved technical objects. For more information, see Manage Rule Runs API.
  • Initiate Rule through API: To trigger a monitoring or a derivation rule only via API, you can choose the API only option in the Settings. For more information on the API, see Manage Rule Runs API in the SAP Business Acceleration Hub. Triggering a rule through the API can only be performed on-demand.

Navigate to Origin - Rule from Monitor Alerts 

Monitor Alerts in 2503 has been enhanced with a new feature that allows users to easily navigate to the Origin-Rule of alerts. Users can now click on a hyperlink associated with each alert to view the Rule that generated it. This enables quick checks of how Rules are defined and configured so that users can more efficiently investigate and understand why specific alerts are being triggered.

Asset Reliability Engineering

Configure filter options for priority type in Recommendations

Configuring priority filters in recommendations ensures that users can focus to prioritise the most important tasks, improving decision-making and efficiency. You can activate or deactivate priority types using the Recommendation Settings in the Configuration Manager application. The configured settings will then be reflected in the Manage Recommendations and Implement Recommendations applications, allowing users to filter and manage recommendations based on priority levels.

Enhanced visibility of lifecycle status in Recommendations

In asset management, understanding the lifecycle status of assigned technical objects, maintenance plans, and task lists is crucial for effective decision-making. To improve visibility, recommendations now display lifecycle statuses of these objects, ensuring that potential conflicts are identified and addressed promptly.

Warning icons for quick Identification
To make it easier to spot conflicts , warning icons have been added to both the Recommendation list page and object page. These icons appear in the following scenarios:

  • Technical Objects: If one or more assigned technical objects are with statuses deletion flag or deletion indicator.
  • Maintenance Plans: If a maintenance plan has a frequency mismatch or is in Object Deactivated, Deletion Flag, or Deletion Indicator status. 
  • Task Lists: If a task list has a status other than “Released (General)” or “Released for Order”.

Visual Cues in the Assignments Tab 
Beyond warning icons, visual cues in the Assignments tab help users quickly assess lifecycle status at a glance. By integrating these enhancements, users can efficiently manage assets, reducing the risk of overlooked issues or conflicts, ensuring that recommendations align with the current state of technical objects, maintenance plans, and task list.

  • Technical Objects flagged with a deletion flag or deletion indicator are visually highlighted.
  • Task Lists with a status other than “Released (General)” or “Release for Order”.
  • Maintenance Plans affected by a frequency mismatch, Object Deactivated, Deletion Flag, or Deletion Indicator status are distinctly marked.
