Equipment

A company’s ability to manage equipment efficiently saves time and money and Aptean EAM is designed to manage these equipment resources. In Aptean EAM terms, equipment can be whatever your company needs it to be to effectively manage your operation, including a large piece of process equipment, a pump, office equipment, or a location.

You enter information about new and existing equipment in the Equipment module. Other Aptean EAM modules use this information to create work orders, perform scheduling activities, and track equipment resources. It is very important that you enter the information correctly and completely, using the tools provided in the Equipment module. The four main tools are the Equipment Search , the Equipment Module , the Serial Search , the Serial Number Module , and the Equipment Hierarchy.
