How to find, import and update equipment
At Northwind Precision's Galway plant, two calipers moved to the Gauge crib. One sheet moves them both.
Steps
- Overview → Equipment → Search
Start on the Overview. Choose Equipment in the sidebar, then type the asset ID in the search box.
- Import and export → Import
Open Import and export, and choose Import to add a sheet with the new site and location.
GageMakkal shows what will change before anything is saved.
Apply the import, and both calipers move at once.
- Edit by hand
To change one piece, open it and edit its name. The move history stays with the piece.
Good to know: Equipment
- Tick several pieces to change them at once, or to record one calibration result for all of them.
- Export gives you the pieces the list shows as a sheet. Import reads such a sheet back and shows what will change before anything is applied.
- Drop calibration certificates on the list: they wait in Certificates until you press Analyze (all of them, the ones you tick, or one), so no AI credit is used without you. Each is then matched to its piece for you to check. Each page read uses one AI credit; Owners and Admins see them in Settings.
- Hundreds at once: the Show buttons narrow the list to the ready ones, those that need you, those not analyzed or not read; Record the ready ones records every ready file in one go.
- Each app lists its own equipment: GageMakkal what is calibrated, MainteMakkal what maintenance looks after. A piece in both is one piece: open it and choose “Also maintain in MainteMakkal” or “Also calibrate in GageMakkal”.
- In MainteMakkal the list shows how critical each machine is (A, B or C) and its work: how many jobs are to do, the most urgent one, whether one is late, and requests waiting.
- A machine’s Maintenance history tab lists every job done, cancelled or declined on it, newest first.
