Setting Up Planned Maintenance Work Orders for Asset Meter Reading
Asset Meter Reading and Planned Maintenance Work Orders
Companies who wish to collect usage or operational data on their assets can use Planned Maintenance work orders as a method of data collection and data reporting. Meter Reading Planned Maintenance work orders are created in the same manner as standard Planned Maintenance work orders. The only difference is that asset meter reading planned maintenance work orders are created to gather data on an asset’s usage or operational status as opposed to standard planned maintenance work orders which are created to service an asset.
