# Equipment Registration

#### Equipment Management in Sequor MES

The **Equipment Registration** is the module responsible for registering, organizing, and managing all **equipment and machines** used in the production process.

Through it, Sequor MES ensures **traceability, standardization, and monitoring of industrial assets**, enabling control of costs, maintenance, and operational performance.

#### Purpose of the registration

The purpose of equipment registration is to structure the essential information for each asset, allowing:

* Associate the equipment with the **plant, area, and production line**;
* Register **costs, dates, and technical information**;
* Link **materials, functional location, and production data**;
* Ensure **integration between production, maintenance, and engineering**.

> 💡 **Tip:** complete and up-to-date equipment registration is essential for OEE reports, availability indicators, and performance analyses.

## 1. Access to the module

In the Sequor MES main menu, go to:\
**Registrations → Equipment**

The module icon is represented by **a crossed wrench and tool with the “+” symbol**, indicating the function of machine registration and management.

### 1.1. Initial listing screen

The main screen displays all equipment registered in the system, with columns configured to make viewing easier:

| Field                     | Description                                                             |
| ------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Equipment Code**        | Unique asset identification.                                            |
| **Equipment Description** | Full name of the equipment or its technical designation.                |
| **Functional Location**   | Plant or unit where the equipment is installed.                         |
| **Area / Subarea**        | Classification of the production sector.                                |

### 1.2. Tree View

The hierarchical view of the registration allows you to navigate in an organized way through the levels:\
**Plant → Area → Line → Equipment.**

This structure makes it easier to understand asset distribution and helps in maintenance and operations analyses.

> 🔍 **Example:**\
> Plant: **SEQUOR-01** → Area: **MACHINING** → Line: **SQO-CAN-USI1** → Equipment: **MAZAK-VARIAXIS-700**.

#### Action buttons

At the top of the screen, the main actions are available:

| Icon | Function                    |
| ---- | --------------------------- |
| ➕    | **Add new equipment**       |
| ✏️   | **Edit existing equipment** |
| 🗑️  | **Delete equipment**        |

> ⚠️ **Attention:** it is recommended **not to delete equipment with production history**. Use the option **Inactive** when it is necessary to discontinue use.

## 2. Equipment Registration Tabs

When creating or editing a record, the system presents five main tabs:

### 2.1. Tab **Header Data**

In this tab, the **basic identification data** for the equipment are entered.

| Field                     | Description                                                     |

## 3. Best practices

* Use **standardized nomenclature** for codes and descriptions.
* Always **associate the equipment with the correct plant and line**.
* Update the **cost and warranty** information according to new acquisitions.
* Add **real images of the equipment** to make identification easier in the system.
* Periodically review the settings for **production flow and criticality**.
