Knowledge Graph-Based Engineering Asset Management for Predictive Decision Intelligence
Engineering Asset Management (EAM) is evolving through Industry 4.0 technologies such as IoT, AI, Digital Twins, and cloud computing, which generate vast amounts of asset-related data. However, conventional asset management systems often fail to integrate heterogeneous data sources, resulting in fragmented information, reactive maintenance, and increased operational costs. This study proposes a Knowledge Graph-Based Engineering Asset Management (KG-EAM) framework to enhance predictive decision intelligence for smart industrial assets. The framework integrates data from Industrial IoT devices, SCADA systems, Enterprise Asset Management (EAM) platforms, Computerized Maintenance Management Systems (CMMS), and engineering documentation into a unified semantic knowledge ecosystem. By combining ontology modeling, graph databases, graph embeddings, machine learning, and explainable AI (XAI), the framework enables predictive maintenance, root cause analysis, asset health prediction, and risk-aware decision-making. The proposed approach improves asset reliability, maintenance planning, operational efficiency, knowledge sharing, and lifecycle management while reducing downtime, maintenance costs, and unexpected equipment failures across diverse industrial sectors.
