Equipment Systems Console: Overview

Organizing your equipment into equipment systems helps you locate and manage your items. Many enterprises have more than a million assets, which can make locating a particular asset difficult. One way to effectively manage a list of assets this is to group them hierarchically. There are two fundamental organizing principles relating to managing facilities assets:

  • mechanical functionality -- how the solution designer, manufacture, installer, and maintenance teams view the asset
  • how the asset is used to support a business process: how it supports the project team and ERP team perspectives.

The Equipment Systems Console presents your equipment assets in terms of their equipment systems and shows the dependencies between assets. Use this console to review equipment systems and their assemblies and components , as well as edit the properties of equipment items.

When you first load the Equipment Systems Console, the view:

  • highlights the first equipment system listed in the Inventory Tree (Chemical Compliance Analysis, in the above image)
  • displays the floor plan on which this equipment item is located (if available).
  • in the floor plan drawing, zooms into the equipment item's room and highlights it in yellow.
  • highlights in red the components of the equipment system.

You can change this default selection by:

  • drilling down in the Inventory Tree to select a dependent system
  • selecting another equipment system from the Inventory Tree
  • changing the Viewer pane (on the right) from displaying the floor plan to displaying the 3D Navigator or 360 Viewer .

Note : The 360 Viewer has been disabled. See the V.25.3 Revision History for details.

When you open the Equipment Systems Console, it displays the Asset Relationship Analysis tab, shown above. From here, you can click the Assign button in the Inventory Tree panel to open the Asset Relationship Assignment tab. You can switch between the two tabs to perform the following tasks:
