Asset Management is at the core of how FieldEx operates. All jobs, checklists, and maintenance activities in the system revolve around assets. In FieldEx, an asset is any operational unit such as a machine, vehicle, tool, or device that your business owns, installs, rents out, maintains, or services.
Assets are not limited to what you own. If your team needs to track it, assign work orders, complete checklists, log faults, or schedule preventive maintenance, it should be managed as an asset in FieldEx.
Asset Management: Identify Your Operational Assets
Below are some examples of how assets are defined across different industries. This helps you recognise what you should include in your asset list when setting up FieldEx.
Industry | What are my assets? |
Construction Equipment | Excavators, generators, tower lights, compressors, fuel tanks |
HVAC Service | Chillers, air conditioning units, air handlers, blowers, cooling towers |
Coffee Machine Rental | Coffee machines, grinders, milk coolers |
Vehicle Maintenance | Buses, vans, trucks, lorries |
Medical Equipment Service | Oxygen concentrators, infusion pumps, ventilators, patient monitors |
Manufacturing Plants | CNC machines, compressors, robotic arms, power panels, production conveyors |
Facilities Management | Fire extinguishers, airconds, water pumps, elevators, access control panels |
Agricultural Operations | Tractors, harvesters, irrigation pumps, cold storage units |
Power & Utilities | Generators, HVAC units, substations, power stations |
Tip: If your team works with or around it and needs to track it, maintain it, or report on it, then treat it as an asset. |
Why Asset Mapping Matters
Understanding and mapping your assets correctly is the first and most important step in adapting FieldEx to your operations. Once your asset records are in place, all other modules like job orders, checklists, spare parts, maintenance schedules, and analytics can function effectively.
By treating asset setup as your foundation, you'll gain full lifecycle visibility: from asset acquisition to daily usage, through servicing and all the way to decommissioning.
