The Asset Guardian – User Guide 4.4

Chapter 1 – Introduction

Equipment

The Asset Guardian is an Enterprise Asset Management System (EAMS). Virtually anything requiring care can be defined as an asset and its maintenance needs accommodated. For example, production line machinery, vehicles, plant floor machinery, support equipment and other facility assets can all be effectively cared for through The Asset Guardian. With the ability to create a hierarchical structure for your equipment, The Asset Guardian supports multiple sub-assemblies for each piece of equipment with multiple maintenance controls for each element within the hierarchy. This provides you the flexibility you need to manage separate maintenance actions at each sub-assembly.

Should a sub-assembly in your equipment ever move from one hierarchy to another, The Asset Guardian assures that the prior maintenance history moves to the new hierarchy with the element. The life to death maintenance history for any equipment is visible as a result of this feature. Even your personnel can be set up as assets in order to help manage and meet their educational needs or other requirements.

If you choose to project the expected cost and frequency of upcoming maintenance activities, The Asset Guardian allows you to project future actions based upon past history and established preventative criteria. For further statistical analysis, both projections and the data points collected for your Equipment can be exported to Excel with the selection of an option.
