Asset Setup¶
Configure the reference tables that shape how assets are defined: Production Sites, Components, Component Tasks, Thresholds, and Units.
Required role
Mapper or Admin.
Overview¶
Where Mapping is about building the specific instances of assets in your plant, Asset Setup is about configuring the reusable definitions those instances draw from:
- Production Sites — the top-level locations in your tenant.
- Components — the reusable equipment-type definitions (pump, motor, mill, conveyor).
- Component Tasks — which tasks apply to each component type.
- Thresholds — min / max acceptable values for numeric measurements.
- Units — measurement units (bar, °C, litres) and their conversion factors.
Changes here propagate to every asset that references them — so it's the highest-leverage configuration page in the platform. Get the models right here and everything downstream flows.
This menu item expands into five sub-items — one page each.
Submenu¶
- Production Sites — top-level physical locations.
- Components — reusable equipment-type definitions.
- Component Tasks — which tasks apply to which component type.
- Thresholds — numeric-field range validation.
- Units — measurement units and conversions.
Typical configuration order¶
New installation:
- Production Sites — create the physical locations first.
- Units — define the measurement units you'll use.
- Thresholds — define the ranges (references Units).
- Components — define the equipment types.
- Component Tasks — attach task definitions to each component.
- Then build the hierarchy in Mapping, linking each asset to a component.
Reverse the order and you'll hit "please pick a unit first" style dependencies.
Things to watch for¶
Changes propagate
Editing a component, threshold, or unit ripples to every asset / task that references it. Test on a single asset before bulk-applying a change.
Review annually
Asset Setup is where stale configuration hides. Schedule an annual review with your Mapper + a representative technician.
