An indicator is a way to record data that you can measure on your equipment. Using indicators, you can monitor equipment performance or condition. Indicators can record both quantitative and qualitative data. For example, typical indicators on a car include the engine temperature gauge, the odometer, the brake system warning light, and tire condition. You can use indicators to trigger warnings and alarms that notify users of possible or current problems. You can also use indicators to directly trigger work orders from standard jobs and standard tasks. Indicators that are used in triggering rules are part of your asset reliability program. To record data for your equipment, you must set up indicators for your APM assets.
