Equipment Reading Points
Reading points (meters) can be defined and associated with equipment items. The purpose of a reading point is to allow the recording of readings to be made and stored against the associated equipment item with a date and time stamp.
A work order number can optionally be stored with the reading. The stored reading data can then be used for predictive maintenance and monitoring of equipment using charting.
Reading points can be set up as part of the Standing Data Process or alternatively they can be added when adding New Equipment. Reading points can be accessed from
• Equipment detail, using the readings tab
• Work order detail, using the readings tab
• Directly from the menu Equipment >> Equipment Reading Points
• Standing Data
Enquiring on a reading point opens a scan form.
