Asset documentation at your fingertips: a file management service for your field device docs

What are the benefits of using a digital file management service? Surely it's possible to administrate files manually by collecting papers in folders or storing digital files on a drive. But running after documents costs you so much time. Let's imagine that you search on a local drive, but you don’t really connect with the folder names and structures that your colleagues have chosen. Or you look for printed documents in your office and find out that the exact folder you need was carried away to the company’s archive only last week. Finally, for public documents like instruction manuals, you even search on the Internet. Depending on the manufacturer’s website, this can sometimes be the best way of getting lost entirely.

When you use a file management service, your endless document searches will come to an end. How does such a service improve file management for you? If you choose to use e.g. Netilion Library, you won’t need to worry about folder structures and availability of documents. You have a database containing the digital twins of all assets, tags and nodes in your facility. And you can access it no matter where you are: as it is a cloud-based service you can use it with your smartphone, tablet or desktop PC.

Netilion Library is like a virtual store, containing the digital twins of all your instruments. Each digital twin has a space for uploading any kind of document: manuals, calibration documentation, configuration reports, maintenance protocols and many more. And of course, the digital twins of your Endress+Hauser devices already contain basic documents by default.

The digital file management service Netilion Library organizes your asset documents for you. You can upload, access and manage any field device file wherever you are and whenever you need.

Plus, Netilion Library contains the following documentation of Endress+Hauser field devices by default, so you don't even need to upload them:

• Technical information (data sheet);
• Short instruction sheet;
• Operating instructions (full manual);
• Ex safety instructions;
• Manufacturer information;
• Mounting instructions;
• Special documentation.

And you can access them whenever you want and find whatever you’re looking for.

How can you get started with this digital file management service? Actually, it's very simple, and you can try it out for free here. Then you can create the digital twins of your field devices by entering their serial numbers. After that, you can upload files and attach them to their respective field devices.

And last but not least, you can enjoy the ease of digital file management. You’ll feel so much relief, having all your documents connected to their devices and right at your fingertips.
