Equipment Model Overview

The Equipment model in TamakiMES is designed to manage all aspects of physical assets within a manufacturing environment. It enables tracking, categorizing, and maintaining equipment, ensuring that each piece is effectively monitored and available for production activities.

1. EquipmentClass​

Defines categories of equipment (e.g., Forklift, Pump), allowing similar types of equipment to be grouped for streamlined management, reporting, and scheduling. Equipment Classes also store common properties that apply to all equipment within that category.

2. Equipment​

Represents individual instances of equipment within the facility. Each equipment item is linked to an Equipment Class, inheriting standard properties, while also maintaining unique data specific to that item (e.g., location, status). This provides a clear structure for managing both individual items and groups of similar assets.

3. EquipmentProperty​

Defines the attributes that are common across all items within an Equipment Class, such as "Horsepower" for motors or "Capacity" for tanks. This enables standardized property definitions for each category of equipment.

4. EquipmentPropertyValue​

Stores specific values for each property at the individual equipment level, allowing customization per item. This ensures that each piece of equipment can be configured and tracked based on its unique specifications.

5. EquipmentMaintenanceOrder​

Tracks maintenance tasks for equipment, including scheduling and status updates. Maintenance Orders help ensure that equipment remains in optimal condition, with logs for planned and completed maintenance activities.

6. EquipmentMaintenancePlan​

Establishes recurring or triggered maintenance schedules for equipment, ensuring proactive upkeep. Maintenance Plans can automatically generate Maintenance Orders based on predefined triggers or schedules.

The Equipment model in TamakiMES allows for comprehensive management of physical assets, from categorizing equipment types to tracking individual items, maintenance, and documentation. This structure ensures that each piece of equipment is accurately monitored, maintained, and documented, supporting operational efficiency and asset longevity.

This high-level overview provides a clear picture of how the Equipment model functions within TamakiMES, without delving into field-level details. Each component has a specific purpose, contributing to a complete and organized asset management system.
