1. A system of modeling a plant, comprising:
a data processing system having at least one processor and coupled with memory, to:
receive one or more measurements from one or more physical instruments located at a plant comprising a plurality of assets that perform one or more functions at the plant;
identify a virtual instrument for a location at the plant that lacks a physical instrument at the location;
determine, based on a set of relationships for interactions between the plurality of assets, and based on the one or more measurements input into a model constructed with a plurality of layers corresponding to: i) the plurality of assets at the plant; ii) a topology of the plurality of assets; iii) connections and flow direction of the plurality of assets; and iv) the one or more physical instruments at the plant, a virtual measurement for the virtual instrument; and
generate, responsive to a comparison of the virtual measurement with a threshold, a notification to service at least one of the plurality of assets;
construct a first layer of the plurality of layers based on data on the plurality of assets at the plant;
construct a second layer of the plurality of layers based on data on the topology of the plurality of assets;
construct a third layer of the plurality of layers based on data on the connections and flow path of the plurality of assets;
construct a fourth layer of the plurality of layers based on data on the one or more physical instruments at the plant; and
generate a display of the model comprising the first layer, the second layer, the third layer and the fourth layer.
