The correct administration of equipment is an important aspect of corporate management. It can be difficult to get a thorough picture of all of a company's requirements and machinery. To maintain optimal performance of the components of machinery, it is critical to manage them and view them individually. Maintaining your equipment and making sure it's well-maintained ensures a continual increase in productivity. Odoo's Maintenance module is a very effective tool that may assist you in effectively managing and overseeing all of your machinery without any hassles or equipment clutter.

The Equipments tab in the Maintenance module's dashboard can be used to manage equipment. Click on Machines and tools in the Drop-Down menu, and the Maintenance module's equipment page will appear, as shown below.

This page will have a list of all of your equipment. When you click on any of the pieces of equipment, a page called Equipment Management appears, as seen below.

To construct and configure the Equipment, click the EDIT button. To build new equipment, go to the Equipment page and click the CREATE button. As illustrated below, a configuration page will appear.

To begin the process, type the name of the piece of equipment in the Equipment name area. From the Equipment category, select the category you want. Choose an equipment maintenance team and a technician from the Technician field.

You can select if the Equipment is used by a specific Department, Employee, or Others. To apply it, select one of the alternatives. You have the ability to choose a specific employee if you have chosen an Employee, as seen below.

Similarly, you can select Department and Other from the drop-down menus. Select the type from the drop-down menus. Select a location for both the Equipment and the Work Center. Select the Work Center from the drop-down selections by clicking on the Work Center field, as shown below. To save the Equipment, select it from the list and click the SAVE button.

Maintenance Equipment

Maintenance teams are simple to set up. To create a Maintenance team, go to the configuration tab on the dashboard and select Maintenance Teams from the drop-down menu of options. The Maintenance Teams page will appear, as seen below.
