Product Updates: Asset Templating, Custom Insights, and Sustained Thresholds Arrive

By Mike Aanenson · 2 min read · Product

Some releases add a feature. This one added three foundations that a lot of what ExoSense does today is still built on.

Asset Templating

Asset Templates let you define an asset’s signals, transforms, rules, dashboards, metadata, and subsystems once, then create many assets from that single configuration - each pulling from its own device data, but sharing the same setup. Linked assets stay in sync with their template by default; an Asset Manager can “Stop Template Tracking” on any individual asset that genuinely needs to go its own way.

Asset Templates: one configuration, many linked assets

This is the same idea an OEM relies on today to configure a pump skid or compressor package once and deploy it across a fleet - see the March 2025 update on template overrides for where it’s gone since.

Custom Inline Insights (Beta)

Custom Inline Insights let you write your own signal-processing functions, using MathJS or JSONE, directly inside ExoSense - transforming or combining signal data beyond what the built-in Transform library covers. Launched in beta, this is the feature that later gained Live/Draft/Locked lifecycle modes (see the March 2026 update) once teams started running custom logic in production.

Sustained Threshold Rules

A Sustained Threshold Rule requires a condition to stay true continuously for a set duration before it triggers - a debouncing mechanism that filters out a brief spike that doesn’t represent a real problem. The timer resets the moment the value breaks the condition.

A sustained duration threshold rule

It’s a different mechanism than Hysteresis, which controls how a rule clears rather than how long it must hold to trigger - but the underlying problem is the same one hysteresis would eventually help solve five years later: a threshold that’s too twitchy to trust.
