Facilities Asset - Could you provide examples of model categories used for Facilities assets?

[mary47]

I am trying to figure out how to configure Facilities Asset properly.  Could someone provide examples of what they use for model categories?

As an example I am thinking...

Facilities Asset Portfolio

• Appliances, Equipment & Fixtures (AE&F)
• Architectural Systems (ARCH)
• Fire and Life Safety Systems (FLSS)
• Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC)
• Power and Electrical Systems (P&ES)
• Vehicle

...Or are these model categories?

Model Category                 Model                                  Manufacturer                     Display Name

Air Conditioner                   ###                                        Liebert Split System           Liebert Split System Air Conditioner

Microwave Oven                ###                                       Panasonic                            Panasonic Microwave Oven

I would go with AE&F, ARCH, etc. as model categories rather than have too many model categories to manage in the other case.

Also keep in mind a model may fall under multiple model categories.

Are you also planning to use the CMDB to track these assets as CIs?

Hi @mary@compassion , where did you end up storing the facilities assets. We are facing similar sitatuation wherein we need to find appropriate place to store these assets. We are thinking about storing them as 'Fixed Assets'.

Your opinion will be helpful and valuable.

Under the Facilities Application we set up manufacturers and models.  Then created these model categories for each class of assets.

• Appliances, Equipment & Fixtures (AE&F)
• Architectural Systems (ARCH)
• Fire and Life Safety Systems (FLSS)
• Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC)
• Power and Electrical Systems (P&ES)
• Vehicle
