Introduction¶

The equipment module helps you manage both tangible and intangible equipment (software licenses, etc.). It’s grouped around the equipment browser. You can do a general search there and group items in a homogeneous way. The module aims to record all data linked to equipment and asset. It must include all data about them. This includes data about suppliers, tests they were used in, and maintenance records.

It will ensure optimization of usage, control, and data centralization. It provides support for several transversal functions, like:

Quality department

Equipment management

Maintenance/Qualification plan
