Asset meters are a repositories that capture readings of meters belonging to assets. Asset meters are used to generate work orders when trigger dates or readings are reached (one or multiple Meter Reading records per Asset). Meter reading values can be used as a trigger creation of Work Order in case of meter-based preventive maintenance.
Some assets may have different types of meters and gauges such as:
- Pressure gauge
- Hours of operations meter
- Temperature gauge
If these meters and gauges are used to trigger preventive work orders, then each asset may have one or more Asset Meter records. The assets with multiple meters and gauge types will have multiple meters, and each meter record is used to capture meter readings for this type of meter. Based on meter reading thresholds (set up on the Preventive Maintenance Book for the asset), the system will trigger work orders automatically and based on the latest meter reading.
