System and method of master data management
First Claim
1. An asset management system for management of assets, the asset management system comprising:
- a computer system comprising at least one processor and memory including instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the computer system to operate as a plurality of systems, the systems comprising;
a master data management system configured to facilitate management of master data pertaining to objects selected from among the assets, the master data selected from object data, the master data including at least one fade out indicator indicating whether a portion of the master data associated with the at least one fade out indicator is suitable for removal from the master data management system;
a maintenance management system configured to manage maintenance of a plurality of objects subject to maintenance; and
a master data processing system configured toderive, based on master data of an object of the plurality of objects subject to maintenance and the at least one fade out indicator, object-related knowledge associated with the object, the object-related knowledge comprising an indication of a priority for maintenance of the object relative to other objects of the plurality of objects subject to maintenance, andprovide the object-related knowledge to the maintenance management system, wherein the maintenance management system is configured to manage maintenance of the object based on the indication of the priority for maintenance of the object, and to display a level of detail of the master data of the object based on the at least one fade out indicator for the object.

Abstract
Methods and apparatus, including computer program products, for data management pertaining to master data management, processing, and optimization; to maintenance management; and to asset management. A master data management system may include a dynamic object identification system. The dynamic object identification system may identify objects using a segmented and coded globally unique identifier. The globally unique identifier may be updated while the objects are within the system. The globally unique identifier may comprise coded segments including a personal identification number, an external key, technical data, and administration data. The technical and administration data may be more or less detailed, depending on, among others, the object, its history of use, and its present circumstances. Implementation of the asset management system may include the use of radio-frequency identification (RFID) tags. The RFID tags may store detailed object information, including critical object information and a globally unique identifier.
