Reading-based PM schedules

Reading-based PM schedules monitor readings that are recorded for assets or locations, and generates a task when specific reading requirements are met.

For example, if the copy count exceeds 5000, a task can be generated to change the copier toner cartridge.

The PM reading log is created in one of the following ways:

• Manually when a task is completed.
• Manually directly for a location or asset.
• Automatically through integration with another system, such as a building control software.

When you activate a reading-based PM schedule, the associated reading groups for the locations and assets are monitored. Any new reading that is posted to the associated reading log is evaluated for the criteria that are defined in the job plan and reading-based PM schedule. If the reading meets the criteria that are established in the PM schedule, then a work task is generated in accordance with the rules established by the service plan. If procedures are associated with the PM schedule, the procedures are associated with the generated tasks.
