Explore maintenance

Put equipment condition in its OT context.

A changed reading is a place to begin. Equipment identity, operating conditions and recent work help the team decide which question deserves a closer look.

Maintenance is one application of a wider OT data foundation. Use this collection to examine a concern, connect it to the right records and prepare a focused discussion with the people responsible for the equipment.

Questions to begin with

What changed, and under which conditions?
What can a previous work record help explain?
Who can verify the next useful observation?
