Inside an asset

Every tab on a machine — health, hierarchy, work, maintenance, parts, meters, cover, failures, costs, movements, lifecycle, downtime, files, copilot and activity.

Everything known about one machine.

Tabs

Overview

Identity and specification: number, name, type, category, criticality, manufacturer, model, serial, location, parent, purchase cost and date, plus any custom fields your plant added.

Health

The health score, and how it was arrived at.

A score out of 100 built from failure history, downtime, age against expected life, and maintenance cost against replacement cost. 80–100 is healthy, 50–79 is worth watching, below 50 is at risk.

The breakdown matters more than the number: a machine scoring 58 because it is old is a different problem from one scoring 58 because it failed four times last quarter.

Hierarchy

Where this asset sits — its parent, and everything below it. Work and cost roll up this tree.

Work orders

Every job on this machine, open and historical, with a count on the tab. This is the machine’s repair history and the thing to read before deciding whether a fault is new.

Maintenance

Which plans cover this asset and what is due next. Doing two rounds in one release is usually cheaper than two shutdowns, and this is where you see the chance.

Parts / BOM

The bill of materials — which parts fit this machine. It is what makes “which filter does P-102 take” answerable at the store counter, and what lets planned maintenance forecast demand.

Meters

Run hours, cycles, production counts, temperatures.

Each meter shows its readings over time. Readings come from technicians on the handset, from manual entry here, or from a condition-monitoring feed.

Meters drive meter-based maintenance triggers — every 2,000 run hours needs somebody to be recording run hours.

Cover

Who pays if this breaks: the contracts and warranties covering this machine, together.

Warranty and contracts share a tab deliberately. Both answer the same question, and a warranty tab a planner has to remember to open is how a repair gets billed internally on a machine the manufacturer would have covered.

See entitlements and claims.

Failures

What has actually broken, with a count of what is still open. Failures drive MTBF, downtime and the bad-actor ranking on Reliability.

Costs

What this machine has cost to maintain — labour, parts, tools, travel, vendor charges — over time. Read against purchase cost, this is the replacement argument.

Movements

Where this asset has been. Transfers between locations and sites, with dates and who moved it.

Lifecycle

Its state history — planned, received, commissioned, in service, down, retired, disposed — with dates. See the asset lifecycle.

Downtime

Time this machine spent in a state your model counts as down, and what it cost in availability.

Files

Manuals, drawings, certificates, photographs. The tab carries the count.

Copilot

Ask for a diagnosis or for help with this machine, using its own history and its recorded failures. Suggestions are proposals — nothing reaches the record until somebody accepts one.

The tab is here because the useful place to ask what is wrong with a pump is on the pump. It is empty until your organisation has agreed to switch the copilot on. See Copilot.

Activity

Every change to this record in order, plus comments.

Audit

Full field-level change history. Visible to roles carrying audit permission.

Editing

Edit in the header opens the record. Assets are edited here rather than in Administration, because the context — the meters, the work history, the cover — is the reason this screen exists.
