eAM can generate Work Orders automatically based on meter readings, runtime and/or calendar days. An example of meter-based preventive maintenance is your car’s oil changes. Most car manufacturers recommend that you change your engine oil every 3,000 miles or six months, whichever comes first.
To set up the above scenario, you would first define your car’s odometer as a meter. Next, you would associate that meter to an asset (your car), using the Asset Meter Association window. After you have associated the meter to the asset, you can
associate the Maintenance Activity (oil change) that should occur, based on the meters you have defined. This is done via Preventive Maintenance Scheduling.

• Meter and Meter Templates
• Meter Templates with Maintained Groups and Associate Meters with Assets
• Define PM Schedule Definitions
