Equipment

Your machines, tools, vehicles and buildings - with locations, owners, warranty, meters, documents and reliability figures.

Equipment is everything your team looks after. Open Equipment to see the list, filter it by category, location, team or status, and open one to see its whole story.

Adding equipment

Equipment > Add equipment. Only the name is needed. The rest helps later:

Tag - your own code, printed on its QR label.
Category - Machines, Tools, Vehicles, Computers, Buildings, or your own. A category can have a usual team and technician: new equipment and its requests get them by themselves.
Location - a place from your Locations tree (site > building > floor > room), or words.
Model, serial number, vendor, warranty until, in use since, bought for.
How critical - Low, Normal or High.

Under More:

Part of - a motor or pump of a bigger machine, looked after on its own.
Used by - an employee or a department from Ellibo HR, or someone else. It shows on the employee's page in HR.
Simple preventive - every so many days (Manufacturing uses the same setting). For anything more, use preventive plans.
Its meter counts - hours run, km, miles, cycles or units made (Standard and up).
Manufacturing work centre, Inventory item, Fleet vehicle and Manual (Knowledge page).

Importing

Equipment > Import takes a CSV file with one piece a line: name, tag, category, location, model, serial number, vendor, cost, warranty end, in use since, meter. Categories that don't exist yet are made. Lines that can't be added are listed.

The equipment page

Failures, between failures (MTBF), to repair (MTTR), next failure - worked out from its finished repairs.
Cost to date and downtime.
Preventive plans, requests, its parts, documents and photos and the history.
Meter - the latest reading, with Add reading and, for a vehicle, Read from Fleet.
QR code - anyone who scans it can report a fault on this equipment.

Not in use, scrapped

Not in use takes it off the list (it no longer counts in your plan). Scrap does the same and stops its plans. A request moved to the Scrap stage scraps its equipment too. Nothing is deleted.
