Mapper — quick reference

A one-page reference for hierarchy building and tag commissioning.

The five-level hierarchy

Production Site  →  Line  →  Section  →  Asset  →  Task Point

Tasks, NFC tags, schedules all attach at Task Point level.

Naming rules

  • Consistent — Line 01 not Line 1 / Line One.
  • Short — fits mobile screens.
  • Searchable — unique enough that 3 characters narrow results.

Decide once. Stick to it. Resist drift.

Task types and when to use each

Type Use
Lubrication Grease / oil application
Mechanical Inspection, adjustment, cleaning (default for routine)
Electrical Voltage / current / insulation checks
Production Output / run-hour readings
Repair request Resolving a reported fault

Component vs asset

  • Component-level tasks — one definition applies to every asset of that component type. Use when ≥3 similar assets exist.
  • Asset-level tasks — one-off / outlier equipment only.

NFC tag workflow

  1. Open task point in mobile app.
  2. Write NFC tag → hold blank tag against phone.
  3. Apply physically to the asset.
  4. Test-scan. Move on.

Tag choice: NTAG213 minimum, enclosed / on-metal for ferrous surfaces. Budget ~$0.50 / tag.

Safety procedures

  • 3–8 steps per procedure. Specific imperatives ("Verify LOTO on main disconnect").
  • Attach only to tasks where risk justifies it.
  • Co-author with your safety officer.

Master data checklist

Before executing real tasks, confirm these are populated:

  • Units
  • Thresholds (loose initially; tighten later)
  • Products
  • Tools
  • Repair request types
  • Shutdown reasons

Anti-patterns

  1. Building the whole plant before testing. Pilot one site; get feedback; then scale.
  2. Inconsistent naming. Decide first, stick.
  3. Generic safety ("check safety is OK"). Be specific or don't bother.
