Asset Inventory Management

Asset Inventory Management is crucial for organizations to ensure optimal resource utilization and compliance. Leveraging DC Smarter's DC Vision, a software based on Augmented Reality (AR), Digital Twin technologies, and Artificial Intelligence (AI), companies can seamlessly integrate and automate the asset inventory processes, thereby attaining enhanced visibility and control over their assets. The central theme of this use case revolves around the utilization of DC Vision to catch and process data from the data center infrastructure management (DCIM) or any other IT Asset Management backend, employing API-based connectors. In scenarios where data is absent, DC Vision steps in to capture field data, enriching the existing inventory management systems.

Context:

  • Organization operates a data center/ co-lo/ edge/ server rooms/ IDFs/ MDFs with a myriad of hardware assets. The efficient management and tracking of these assets are imperative to ensure operational efficiency and compliance.
  • The existing backend holds a portion of the needed data, but there's a significant amount of field data yet to be captured and integrated.

Needs:

  • Capture and integrate existing data from the backend.
  • Acquire field data where existing data is unavailable.
  • Recognize hardware make and model, and allow for additional data population by engineers.

Solution - DC Vision Deployment:

  • Data Integration:
    • DC Vision's API-based connectors are employed to tap into the existing backend, fetching available asset data.
    • The gathered data is processed and organized within DC Vision for a consolidated view.
  • Field Data Capture:
    • In areas where the backend lacks data, DC Vision is deployed to capture field data.
    • Engineers, armed with DC Vision, scan the hardware assets in the field. Utilizing AI technology, DC Vision efficiently collects data during rack scanning, recognizing the make and model of the hardware.
