Run Time — description

Overview

The Rune Time module is designed to efficiently track and manage operational hours of various equipment, machinery, or assets. This table provides a quick overview of run time counters, as well as key information for effective maintenance planning.

Description

The "Run Time" column in the table serves as a database within the Maintenance Module. Maintenance tasks have the option to use run time hours as an expiration or interval parameter. These tasks can be linked to a specific run time counter, and the system can then calculate various service dates based on this runtime data. This functionality allows the system to provide users with detailed information related to the specific run time counter, as well as associated maintenance tasks, enhancing the precision and efficiency of maintenance planning and execution.

Run Time counter list

Name

This column lists the name or identifier of each hour counter, typically associated with a specific piece of equipment or machinery. It helps users quickly identify the asset being monitored.

Run time

Indicates the total running time, in hours, that the equipment has accumulated since the last reset or maintenance event. This value provides a overview of the equipment's recent usage.

Offset

Is used in cases where a counter needs to be offset, e.g. after a manual reset of the physical counter.

Corrected runtime

Runtime after the offset has been taken into account. Corrected runtime provides a more accurate representation of the equipment's actual productive usage.

Average daily run time

Calculates the average number of hours the equipment has been in operation each day. This metric helps in assessing the equipment's usage patterns and workload.

Days until expiry

Specifies the number of days remaining until the equipment is due for a manual check or maintenance event.

Days since last update

Indicates the number of days that have elapsed since the last update or maintenance action was performed on the equipment. This value is essential for tracking the maintenance history and ensuring timely interventions.

Est. hours since last update

Estimates the number of operating hours the equipment has accrued since its last update or maintenance event. This estimation aids in assessing whether the equipment is due for maintenance based on its usage.

Access

List of job positions that may view, edit, and/or update this runtime counter, if this limitation is set (an empty field means anyone with the right access to this module will have access to view/edit/update).

Status

The status column provides a quick reference to the equipment's current condition or maintenance needs. Status labels include "OK", "Expiring", and "Expired" to convey the status of the run time.

Run Time Counter

When accessing the detail view for an individual run time counter, you're provided with additional options and information:

Detail view

Description

In the Run Time module, the "Description" metadata provides users with essential information about each hour counter. This description typically includes details such as the equipment's name or identifier, its make and model, location, and any unique characteristics that distinguish it from other assets. The description serves as a clear reference point, enabling maintenance personnel to quickly identify the specific equipment or machinery being monitored.

Access

Access management within the Run Time module involves defining and regulating user permissions and privileges related to hour counter data. It allows administrators to determine who can view, edit, or modify run time information. This access control ensures that only authorized personnel can make changes to sensitive runtime records.

Child counters

In this section, you can add child run time counters (e.g. for subcomponents that have their own run time counters) or make the current run time counter a child counter of another, existing run time counter. The run time hours of a child counter will be linked to the parent counter.

Alert

Allows users to modify the alert type. There will be a range of alert types to choose from, and each one has their own unique warning threshold and alert notification (managed within the "Admin Settings").

Update runtime

By clicking the "Runtime" button, you'll be able to update the value of the runtime counter itself.

New Runtime

This field will set the new runtime, in accordance with the component's physical counter.

Comment

You may add a comment to explain why the runtime counter value has been changed. This could e.g. be a case where the physical counter was reset (in which case, the offset should also be updated accordingly).

Offset Runtime

By clicking the "Offset" button, you will be able to set a new offset for the runtime counter.

New offset

New value for the offset. You may see the current offset in the line above this field for comparison.

Comment

A comment to explain why the runtime counter will have this particular offset value.
