Asset Intelligence is an IT strategy that relies on using the proliferation of network-enabled devices to gather massive amounts of data, and, ideally, act on that data autonomously
What is an “asset” in Asset Intelligence? Any object capable of sending an important
signal to the user) Old IT Systems: “Collect, Aggregate,
Decide” AI Systems: “Sense, Decide, Act”
Proliferation of sensors: 1 trillion devices will soon be hooked up to internet infrastructure
Cost of Sensing devices has decreased dramatically
Networking speeds significantly increased. Computational Power has increased
tremendously Increased understanding of decision
networks and artificial intelligence
Moore’s Law has been pretty accurate

1 trillion projected soon, in a variety of different formats. NFC presentation gives us an idea of widespread
sensing and signal reading capability Business Week and MIT Enterprise Tech
Review identified “The Sensor Revolution” and “Brain-Wireless Sensor Networks” as big upcoming techs
“Sensor Dust”, clouds or “motes” of RFID enabled remote sensing capability
Mandates for RFID labeling products within a supply chain
Historically, and even recently, sensor networks collect information which is parsed by a human, not acted on automatically
Significant advances in decision-making abilities of computer programs make more complex actions automated
Examples include Robotic or automated movement of material Automation of Purchase orders Supply chain command, control, and optimization
Asset Intelligence seeks to add value by increasing detection and automated action thus decreasing costs in terms of response time, human error, and staff requirements
Deloitte provides a wealth of examples where an integrated approach to AI provides value:
•Zero Latency Maintenance Scheduling•Inventory/Shrink Tracking
•Full transparency on equipment use
•Enterprise-Wide Cost Analysis
InControl offers an asset intelligence service to automatically detect, inventory, and track IT assets
Integrates detection, updatingUsage profiles, etc.
Provides BusinessIntelligence MetricsUsing automateddata correlation

Just a Fad?
An Invaluable Competitive Advantage?
Consequences for not Implementing such a tool?
