Asset Meters, Thresholds, and Condition PMs

What asset meters do

Asset meters track live or periodically entered readings, giving Rivolq insight into usage and condition beyond calendar time. Common meters include runtime hours, cycles, starts, mileage, pressure, temperature, vibration, and custom readings.

Create the meter and add readings

Add meters from the asset detail page. Define a clear name, meter type, unit, reading direction, and thresholds if needed. Add readings whenever technicians inspect the asset, complete work, or receive reliable data. Each reading should be tied to the observed value and the time observed. Avoid estimates unless your team agrees they are acceptable.

Thresholds and condition PMs

Use a warning threshold when a reading means the asset should be watched or inspected, and a critical threshold when it needs urgent service or a decision. Thresholds can support alert status, dashboard risk context, predictive signals, and condition-based PM generation.

A condition PM generates work when a linked meter crosses a threshold, for example inspecting a pump when vibration crosses warning or checking a chiller when temperature crosses critical. To avoid noisy triggers, Rivolq tracks the triggered state so the same over-threshold reading does not create duplicates. Set thresholds thoughtfully, close generated work with clear findings, update readings after correction, and adjust thresholds that cause false positives.
