Abstract

Asset management plays a crucial role in productive activities of an industrial factory. Several commercial softwares exist but they generally present some limitations, among which the closed nature towards integration. The paper presents the AMICO project, a software platform conceived to overcome traditional limits of existing commercial solutions. A research investigation has preceded the definition of the system; it allowed to highlight the current state of the market related to the asset management softwares and pointed out the technological enhancements which could have been implemented. Among them, it highlighted the importance of a central information system able to synchronize information flows and activities. Thanks to a centralized architecture, powerful and innovative features like a cooperative workflow engine and an expert system has been introduced in the AMICO project.
