IFS Cloud - I am looking at a request to have a Functional structure and also a Location structure for assets. My pre-conception was that a Location Structure is a different view of the same assets based around a concept of locations. However, this looks to be wrong. 

 

What is the functional purpose and use of a Location structure, that cant be better served utilising the Functional structure , possibly with connections, using map positions etc. 

 

My expectation is that this Location structure will not be visible on MWO as I have not seen it there before. 

 

Any examples of using a Location Structure usefully will be much appreciated.        

The below attached examples would give you an understanding of how it is being typically used. .

In this case, Object PM-311-PA-003 (Feed Water Pump 03) is functionally placed under PM-31-1 (Approach Flow), but Locationally placed under PM-A-2-03 (Room 3 in PM1 Building, Level2). Both Functional and Locational structure is build under one top parent. In this example it is PAP (EAM Pulp and Paper Mill)

Functional Structure
Locational Structure

 

Thank you very much - that is very clear. I had problems adding the same functional object on a functional structure and a location structure in Cloud. Then what is the functional benefit of this Locational structure apart from visual?  I dont believe I can see it on the mobile device , and I dont know that I see it any where else.

This is definitely possible in IFS Cloud. 

Asset Structure can be built properly (Not only to limited  Location but also other structures like Electrical, From , To), Whenever technicians are up to any maintenance work assignment, he directly knows  where the respective object is placed structurally. For example, which function, which building/room and which Electrical Circuit,  etc etc. That’s the functional benefit of it . In addition when moving into 3D visualization these structure information is very vital.

The object is in Room 3 of Building 1 and is a part Electrical Circuit xxxxxxxx. (ex. disconnect the Electricity connection prior to maintenance)

 

Thank you, I was looking on a different screen which identified Location structure. I have it working now where you have identified it on the Functional Object.  In this case I do now have a location asset on the Functional Object but I don’t see it here. This must relate to a different function.
