Equipment Model Overview
The Equipment model in TamakiMES is designed to represent physical assets within a manufacturing environment. Equipment is organized through a class hierarchy that enables consistent categorization, and supports configurable properties that allow each piece of equipment to carry custom metadata relevant to its function and location.
1. equipment_classes
The Equipment Class entity represents categories or types of equipment organized in a hierarchical tree structure. Equipment classes allow equipment to be grouped by type (e.g., Pumps, Conveyors, Sensors), with parent-child relationships supporting multi-level classification.
2. equipments
The Equipment entity represents individual physical assets within the facility. Each equipment record belongs to an equipment class and may optionally be associated with a location, enabling tracking of where each asset is stationed.
3. equipment_properties
Defines a configurable property that can be assigned to equipment records, such as 'MaxFlowRate' or 'SerialNumber.' Properties specify the data type, optional limits, and other metadata that governs how values are stored and validated.
4. equipment_property_values
Stores the actual values of properties for specific equipment records, allowing each piece of equipment to carry unique attribute data based on its configuration.
Summary
The Equipment model in TamakiMES provides a flexible framework for cataloguing, configuring, and managing physical assets throughout the manufacturing facility. Through hierarchical equipment classes, optional location associations, and customizable properties, the model supports detailed asset tracking and configuration management.
