What are Measurement Points?Measurement Points are objects which collect numerical, time-stamped information about equipment or functional locations.They may record quantitative information (temperature, pressure, load factor, etc.) for historical records and subsequent processing from the Business Warehouse.They may record counter information (odometer reading, operating hours meter, etc.) for use in scheduling Preventive Maintenance, based on equipment usage rather than calendar-based scheduling

What are Measurement Points?An equipment or functional location may have none, one, or many measurement points.A vehicle might have a single measurement point the odometerA generator might have measurement points for temperature and load on each of three phases.A boiler could have measurement points for steam outlet temperature and pressure.Most equipment and functional locations will have no measurement points.

How are the readings recorded?A measurement document is created.This is frequently done as part of preventive maintenance.It may be done at any time.The system time stamps the document.If it is a counter for counter-based preventive maintenance, it may affect the generation of the next work order for that object.A number of measurement points may be recorded at one time via a Measurement Reading Entry List.

Creating a Measurement PointThe measurement point may be created for either an equipment or functional location.If it is to be a counter, this is specified here.

Creating a Measurement PointThe measurement position is an arbitrary number which might help locate the meter or gauge. The characteristic determines the format of the number.

Creating a Measurement PointThe Target Value is an ideal reading for this point.

Creating a Measurement PointLower and upper range values may also be set for this measurement point. The system will not allow readings which fall outside of this range.

Entering a Measurement DocumentThe initial screen has the measuring point number , as well as a place to record the date, time, and person associated with this measurement.

Entering a Measurement DocumentThere is a space to record the reading as well as any comment.

What is a Permit?A permit is an indicator on a Work Order that a special approval is required and/or has been given.

A permit may have printed output associated with it.

A permit may (or may not) be required in order to release the work order.

A work order may have multiple permits.

What is a Permit?Some examples are:Hot Work PermitConfined Spaces PermitWelding PermitState or City required permits

How is a Permit used in an order?The Permits icon (to the right of the envelope) is selected:

What does this group need to determine?Will permits be used?

If so, determine Permit CategoriesSome suggestions: Hot WorkLockout/TagoutConfined Spaces
