Service Management
PART I: Service Management Foundations
Session 4: Asset Management
Course Code: SVC-04
Goal: Learn how to organize and document service assets within CUBE by establishing clear asset structures, leveraging import tools, integrating tagging technologies, and linking field-accessible data.
Session Overview
Duration: 1 Hour
Delivery Format: Virtual (Microsoft Teams) or In-Person
Participant Level: Intermediate
Resources Provided:
- Asset Import Template (Spreadsheet)
- QR/NFC Tagging Overview Sheet
- Sample Asset Library
- PM Task Configuration Guide
- Field Access Demo Video (Optional)
Learning Outcomes
By the end of this session, participants will be able to:
- Understand how asset structures are defined and linked to service sites
- Add new assets manually or through bulk import
- Assign metadata to assets such as model, serial, images, and location
- Integrate fault detection alerts, maintenance tasks, and performance data
- Enable field access using QR, barcode, or NFC tagging methods
- Simulate a real-world scenario where a technician accesses and updates an asset on-site
Session Agenda
4.1 Asset Structure: Areas and Systems
- Defining how assets are organized:
- Areas (e.g., Floor 1, Mechanical Room)
- Systems (e.g., HVAC, Fire Alarm, Access Control)
- Grouping assets for ease of tracking and reporting
- Benefits of consistent classification for reporting, preventive maintenance, and service routing
4.2 Adding Assets Manually and via Spreadsheet Import
- Step-by-step asset entry through the UI
- Required fields: Asset Name, System, Area, Service Site
- Optional metadata: Manufacturer, Model, Serial Number, Purchase Date
- Spreadsheet import process:
- Using the provided import template
- Validating entries and assigning sites during import
- Tagging imported assets to customer accounts
4.3 Assigning Model, Serial, Quantities, and Image Tagging
- Linking image files to asset records for field identification
- Assigning equipment quantities (e.g., 12 VAVs, 3 readers)
- Managing serial/model tracking for warranty and lifecycle tracking
- Setting replacement thresholds or expected service intervals
4.4 Location Mapping and Fault Detection Integration
- Placing assets on a visual map (GPS coordinates or floor plans)
- Integrating CUBE or third-party fault alerts directly to the asset
- Creating service notifications tied to detected issues
- Assigning technician response tiers based on asset location and fault type
4.5 PM Task Assignments, System Operation Data, and Documentation Uploads
- Linking assets to PM Contracts and automated task scheduling
- Assigning recurring maintenance steps (weekly/monthly/quarterly)
- Uploading user manuals, schematics, installation photos, or SOPs
- Storing test data or system performance readings for audit readiness
4.6 QR/Barcode/NFC Tagging for Technician Field Access
- Generating and printing tags from the CUBE platform
- Attaching physical tags to assets in the field
- Technician scan experience via mobile app:
- View asset details
- Record service notes
- Attach images or signatures
- Benefits for on-site troubleshooting, time tracking, and reporting
4.7 Exercise – Import Assets and Simulate QR-Based Task
Participants will:
- Import a small batch of assets to a designated site using the spreadsheet template
- Assign model/serial information and upload at least one document
- Generate and simulate scanning a QR tag for one asset
- Complete a mock PM task and update status in CUBE
Post-Session Action Items
To reinforce the session, participants are encouraged to:
- Review existing service sites for asset completeness
- Standardize naming conventions and asset categories
- Identify high-value or high-maintenance assets to tag for QR/NFC access
- Train field staff on mobile scanning and update procedures
- Begin phasing asset imports for upcoming PM contracts or large service sites
Note: When scheduling, make sure to include this session code: SVC-04.
