Description

Systems are collections of positions and/or assets that work together so that when one part goes down, all parts are affected. Pieces of equipment are entities for which you store data and create work orders. Equipment can be of many different types, but the four main types are locations, systems, positions, and assets.

Locations - Physical locations of systems, positions, and assets. For example, a pumping system is located in Room 104.

Systems - Collections of positions or assets that work together so that when one part goes down, all parts are affected. For example, if a pump stops working, you must turn off the entire water line to repair it.

Positions - Functions performed by a general kind of asset. For example, the pump that moves water from one tank to another is a functional position, which can be filled by any number of actual, physical pumps (assets). Positions are also called functional positions.

Assets - Generally, physical objects. Assets are the base unit of equipment information and the smallest tracking unit for capital investments.

Locations, systems, positions, and assets form a hierarchy of equipment information, with locations at the top of the hierarchy and assets at the bottom. Data is shared among the levels of the equipment hierarchy. For example, data for a work order performed on an asset is also stored in the position, system, and location equipment to which the asset belongs. This data sharing allows you to track assets and their performance in detail and under differing conditions, to evaluate the performance of entire systems, and to assess the effect that locations and positions have on systems and assets.

Define your organization's systems as equipment. Define parent/child relationships among equipment to link costs and meter readings. A physical meter is a tangible device, such as a car odometer, that measures a particular usage of a piece of equipment. Physical meters have limits on how much usage you can track before the meter resets to zero. Define physical meters in the Meters form.

Logical meters record the accumulative usage of a piece of equipment throughout its operational life. The meter due value of a preventive maintenance work order is always based on a logical meter. Use logical meters to monitor asset usage. Plan preventive maintenance in response to logical meter levels. Define logical meters on the Meters page of the Assets, Positions, Systems, or Locations form.

Associate warranty documents with specific pieces of equipment or with other equipment. Define warranty terms based on equipment usage or by date. When necessary, create warranty claims, and then enter settlement details for the claim in HxGN EAM. View and modify the list of PM schedules for equipment (assets, positions, or systems) on the PM Schedules tab of the respective Equipment form.
