Create asset and componet models for AWS IoT SiteWise

AWS IoT SiteWise asset models and component models drive standardization of your industrial data. Asset and component models represent the structure and properties of your industrial assets and their components. Asset models define the overall asset, such as a wind turbine or a manufacturing line. Component models represent the individual components that make up the asset, such as blades, generators, or sensors. By creating these models, you can organize and structure your asset data in a way that reflects the real-world relationships and hierarchies of your industrial equipment, making it easier to monitor, analyze, and maintain.

An asset model or component model contains a name, description, asset properties, and (optionally) custom composite models that group properties together, or that reference component models for subassemblies.

In AWS IoT SiteWise, you can create asset models and component models to represent the structure and properties of your industrial assets and their components.

  • You use an asset model to create assets. In addition to the features listed above, an asset model can also contain hierarchy definitions that define relationships among assets.

  • A component model represents a subassembly within an asset model or another component model. When you create a component model, you can add references to it in asset models and in other component models. However, you can't create assets directly from component models.

After you create an asset model or component model, you can create custom composite models for it to group properties together or to reference existing component models.
