Asset Registry
Documentation.

The Asset Registry is the foundational data layer for all reliability and risk management activities in Reliatic. Every piece of equipment, from pressure vessels to piping systems, is tracked, categorized, and managed within this unified registry.

01. Overview

The Asset Registry provides a centralized database for all industrial equipment. It serves as the single source of truth for asset information, enabling risk calculations, inspection planning, compliance tracking, and reliability analysis.

Centralized Database

Single source of truth for all asset data with rules-based validation and consistency checks.

Hierarchical Structure

Organize assets by plant, unit, system, and component levels with parent-child relationships.

Flexible Tagging

Custom metadata fields, tags, and categories to match your organization's taxonomy.

Scheduled Sync

Integration with CMMS and ERP systems for bidirectional data synchronization.

02. Creating Assets

1

Navigate to Assets

From the main dashboard, click 'Assets' in the sidebar or go to /dashboard/assets.

2

Click 'New Asset'

In the top right corner, click the 'New Asset' button to open the asset creation form.

3

Enter Basic Information

Fill in required fields: Asset Tag, Name, Type, and Location. The system validates uniqueness of asset tags.

4

Set Technical Specifications

Add design pressure, temperature, material specifications, year installed, and process service.

5

Assign Criticality

Select criticality level (Critical, High, Medium, Low) based on risk assessment or business impact.

6

Save and Verify

Click 'Create Asset'. The system validates all data and creates the asset record with a unique ID.

Pro Tip: Use the bulk import feature for creating multiple assets at once. Download the CSV template from Assets > Import to ensure proper formatting.

Field Descriptions

tag
string
Required

Unique asset identifier. Must be unique within your organization. Common formats: V-102, P-201, HX-301.

name
string
Required

Descriptive name for the asset. Should be human-readable and indicate function.

type
enum
Required

Equipment type: pressure_vessel, heat_exchanger, pump, compressor, piping, tank, reactor, column.

criticality
enum

Risk level: critical, high, medium, low. Drives inspection frequency and resource allocation.

design_pressure_psi
number

Maximum allowable working pressure in PSI. Used for COF calculations in RBI.

design_temp_f
number

Maximum design temperature in Fahrenheit. Influences damage mechanism selection.

material
string

Material specification (e.g., SA-516-70, SS316L). Critical for corrosion rate calculations.

process_fluid
string

Service fluid (e.g., crude_oil, natural_gas, acid, caustic). Determines damage factors.

04. Supported Asset Types

Pressure Vessels

Reactors, columns, separators, drums. Full API 510 compliance tracking.

Examples: V-101, R-202, S-303

Heat Exchangers

Shell-and-tube, plate, air-cooled. TEMA classification support.

Examples: HX-401, E-502, AC-603

Piping Systems

Process lines, utility piping. API 570 inspection tracking.

Examples: L-101-6in-150lb, P-201

Rotating Equipment

Pumps, compressors, turbines. Vibration and reliability monitoring.

Examples: P-301, K-402, T-503

Storage Tanks

Fixed roof, floating roof, spheres. API 653 compliance.

Examples: TK-101, SPH-202

Relief Devices

PRVs, rupture discs, flame arrestors. Testing schedule automation.

Examples: PSV-101, RD-202

05. Criticality Assignment

Criticality determines inspection frequency, resource allocation, and escalation thresholds. Reliatic uses a four-level system based on consequence of failure and business impact.

CRITICAL

Immediate safety, environmental, or business impact. Failure could result in fatalities, major environmental release, or plant shutdown.

Inspection Interval
Quarterly
Examples
High-pressure reactors, critical service heat exchangers, hydrogen systems

HIGH

Significant impact on operations, safety, or environment. Failure causes production loss or requires emergency response.

Inspection Interval
Semi-annually
Examples
Process columns, main pumps, critical piping

MEDIUM

Moderate impact. Failure causes operational disruption but can be managed with existing procedures.

Inspection Interval
Annually
Examples
Secondary equipment, utility systems

LOW

Minimal impact. Failure does not affect safety or production significantly.

Inspection Interval
Bi-annually or condition-based
Examples
Non-critical utilities, instrumentation

06. Best Practices

Use Consistent Naming Conventions

Establish and enforce a standard tagging scheme across your organization. Include unit number, equipment type code, and sequence number (e.g., U100-V-102).

Complete Technical Specifications Early

While some fields are optional, completing design pressure, temperature, and material data upfront enables immediate risk calculations without backfilling later.

Leverage Hierarchies

Organize assets into logical hierarchies (Plant → Unit → System → Component) for easier filtering, reporting, and rollup calculations.

Regular Data Quality Audits

Schedule quarterly reviews of asset data for completeness and accuracy. Use the Data Quality dashboard to identify missing or outdated information.

Link to P&IDs and Drawings

Upload or link to process flow diagrams, P&IDs, and isometric drawings for each asset. This creates a digital twin reference.

Automate with Bulk Import

For large asset inventories, use CSV bulk import with the provided template. Validate in small batches (50-100 assets) before full migration.
