Industrial internet-of-things asset management system

This system helps manage industrial equipment and locations by creating a digital map, called a knowledge graph, of all assets and spaces and their connections. It then calculates an importance score for each item based on its initial value and how many other items it influences, for example, by supplying data, materials, or power, or by being upstream in a process. This score is then used to determine how critical each asset or space is. The claims specifically define how these influence connections are counted.
