A physical equipment is an instance of a model.

A model is based on a template and allows you to add values to the definitions used in the underlying template.

In addition, it allows you to view the assessment score details of the equipment.

Location

You use this feature to create a location and assign it to your item of equipment. This assignment is made based on the functionality of the items of equipment.

A functional location corresponds to a virtual record of the location where an equipment is installed. This is based on a template and allows you to add values to the definitions used in the underlying template.

In addition, it allows you to view the assessment score details of a location.

Performance Improvement

Spare parts are components that are kept in your inventory as spare. Typically, these components are not fitted into your item of equipment, but can be fitted into the item of equipment when needed.

If these spare parts are fitted into the physical item of equipment, you can assign these spare parts to the corresponding model on the network.

Failure Mode

You use this feature to view the probable failure that could occur to piece of equipment or a model. A total of five objects can be assigned.

The failure mode keeps the operator informed about possible failures and helps them to handle the failure modes efficiently.
