Assets Overview
The Assets Module is used to manage plant and equipment that has an effect on the quality of your product or delivery of your service, or could affect safety or the environment.
This includes processing equipment, materials handling, vehicles, and all measuring equipment that is used to verify or control your product, process, or service, e.g., thermometer, micrometer, vernier, ruler, scale, gauge, test equipment, etc. It includes safety equipment such as fire extinguishers, safety harnesses, electrical equipment. You can configure Toolbox with the types of assets you want to manage.
In most cases, you don't need to list assets in Toolbox that you're tracking for purely financial reasons, e.g laptops, monitors, furniture, etc. If there's no direct effect on your customers or on safety or the environment, then it's typically not necessary to list the equipment in Toolbox.
Assets Register
The main view of the Assets Module is the Assets Register and it is maintained automatically as assets are added to Toolbox.
You can change the search parameters to limit the results and generate a Register of Lifting Equipment, a Vehicles Register, a Register of Electrical Equipment, a register of equipment assigned to 'Fred', or any other set of assets you like.
Asset Maintenance and Calibration
In Toolbox you can set requirements for maintenance, calibration, inspections, registration, etc, and collect records of what has been done.
Toolbox will monitor due dates and send reminders, and report on asset compliance.
