Readings

Once an Asset has been added to the Asset Register, readings may be collected and recorded against it. The Readings are a collection of readings taken from hour meters, odometers, pressure gauges, shock pulse meters or any other instrument that you require to record the performance of your Asset. For a Reading to be added into MEX, three pieces of information are required:

• The Asset that the reading has been taken for. When a reading is entered into MEX it must be recorded against an Asset Number from the Asset Register.
• The Date/Time that the reading was recorded.
• The Reading Type: Every reading has a “Reading Type” associated with it, indicating what the reading is a measure of (i.e. Exhaust Temperature, Operating Hours etc).

MEX Readings are split into two types:

• Usage Based Readings: These are readings that indicate the usage of an Asset (i.e. hours of operation, kilometres travelled etc). Once entered, these readings may be used in the scheduling of Routine Maintenance.
• Condition Monitoring Readings: These are general readings that are used to record and report on the condition and performance of Assets (i.e. temperatures, pressures, clearances etc).

The Readings module of MEX has been added to allow users in the field to enter in all their readings on the go.
