Introduction
The Asset Operation Log in Dynaway EAM enables organizations to record, track, and analyze operational events for assets. This functionality supports compliance, performance monitoring, and continuous improvement by providing a detailed history of asset usage and activities.
The Asset Operation Log captures key events and activities related to asset operation, such as startups, shutdowns, inspections, parameter changes, and other significant actions. Each log entry includes details about the event, asset, operator, and timestamp.
Key Features
- Record operational events for any asset
- Track event type, date/time, operator, and comments
- Link operation logs to assets, work orders, and maintenance activities
- View operation history on asset cards and overview pages
- Analyze trends and identify patterns in asset usage
- Support for audit, compliance, and reporting
The table Asset Operation Area in Dynaway EAM defines and manages asset operation areas, which are used to group assets by location, department, or functional area for operational and security purposes.
Key Fields in Asset Operation Area
- Area Code: Unique identifier for the asset operation area.
- Area Name: Descriptive name of the area (e.g., Production Line A, Maintenance Zone 1).
- Description: Additional details about the area and its purpose.
- Active: Indicates if the area is currently in use.
Usage
- Asset operation areas are assigned to assets and operators to control and filter access, ensuring only authorized employees can operate or log events for assets in specific areas.
- Areas support targeted reporting, resource allocation, and compliance by grouping assets and operations logically.
- You can manage asset operation areas from the setup page, and link them to assets and operators for enhanced control and visibility.
Defining asset operation areas helps organizations optimize resource management, improve security, and support operational analysis across locations and departments.
Asset Operator page in Dynaway EAM stores information about employees or users who are assigned as operators for specific assets. Asset operators are responsible for performing, recording, and managing asset operations such as startups, shutdowns, inspections, and other events.
Key Fields in Asset Operator
- Asset No.: The asset to which the operator is assigned.
- Operator No.: The employee or user designated as the operator.
- Operator Name: Name of the assigned operator.
- Asset Operation Area Filter: Allows filtering and assigning operators based on specific asset operation areas (such as location, department, or functional area). This ensures that only employees authorized for a given area can operate or log events for assets within that area, supporting security, compliance, and targeted resource management.
From the action - Show Operated Asset you can verify the Assets which can be used by the employee.
Usage
- Operators can be selected when logging asset operations in the Asset Operation Log, ensuring accountability and traceability.
- Multiple operators can be assigned to a single asset, supporting shift work or shared responsibilities.
