Locational Structure
This is a physical structure, starting with a building, floor/level, and rooms. Ending up with the actual
equipment objects e.g. pumps, valves, and tanks in the room where they are located. This enables work and
preventive maintenance to be monitored and planned by using equipment objects physical location in a facility. For
example, monitor and plan all work for equipment in a room.
The locational structure could be created in two different ways:
- Starting from the top with an existing functional object that is represented by a building. Secondly, create
the underlying child structure with rooms and finally the equipment located in each room. Equipment entered in
the child structure will in this case be created and connected to the top object in one single step.
- Starting from the bottom with a functional object represented by equipment (pump, valve and tank etc.) and
select an already existing top object e.g. a room.
