The Equipment Inventory module tracks all equipment for which usage is measured by an hour meter or other meter (not an odometer).
Each Equipment Inventory record tracks the basic attributes of a piece of equipment, as well as its relationship to other assets. Information on meter readings, inspections, associated Work Orders, and pm templates is also available here.
In addition, this module enables agencies to estimate the running cost of the piece of equipment and assess its life span based on costs and usage.
