Key Features and Enhancements
- Device and Equipment Model Management: Enables viewing and managing OT devices and equipment model entities through dedicated tabs and hierarchical location structures in the Industrial Workspace. Users can map OT devices using IP addresses and manage relationships between devices and configuration items.
- Operational Status and Filtering: Allows filtering of equipment model entities by operational status such as “Not in use” and “Retired,” improving visibility into active and inactive assets.
- Favorites and Prioritization: Users can favorite child equipment model entities and assign processing order values to indicate their functional importance within a site.
- Improved Access Control: Implements site-level access control using User Criteria and roles (OT viewer and OT editor) to define read or write permissions for equipment model entities and OT devices, ensuring secure and precise user access management.
- Automated Mapping and Network Identification: AMAZING 2.0 technology supports subnet discovery and automatic mapping of OT devices across zone-based IP networks, streamlining device identification and network grouping.
- Daily Activity Tracking: Tracks and displays previous day’s activities on OT devices, including additions and changes to key attributes like IP address and device criticality, supporting operational monitoring.
- Unified Map Experience: Visualizes relationships between OT devices and other configuration items in a consolidated map within the Industrial Workspace for better asset management.
- Integration and Certification: Certified for multiple ServiceNow platform versions (e.g., Australia Patch 3, Xanadu, Washington DC, Vancouver, Tokyo, San Diego) and automatically installs with relevant Operational Technology Incident and Change Management applications.
Practical Benefits for ServiceNow Customers
- Efficient OT Asset Management: The application simplifies identification, mapping, and management of OT devices and equipment models, crucial for operational reliability and process optimization.
- Enhanced Security and Compliance: Granular access controls enable customers to enforce role-based permissions, ensuring only authorized users can view or modify sensitive OT asset data.
- Improved Visibility and Reporting: Features like daily activity logs and equipment model entity schedules provide actionable insights into device status and changes, aiding incident response and maintenance planning.
- Streamlined Network Mapping: Automated subnet-based mapping reduces manual effort and errors in identifying OT device relationships, accelerating implementation and updates.
- Certification and Compatibility Assurance: Regular certifications with ServiceNow platform releases guarantee compatibility and support for industrial customers deploying this application within their environments.
