What Are Equipments in BRAINR

Equipments represent physical or virtual resources, such as scales, labelers, or packaging machines — that can be used across different operations.

Currently, equipment are optional and serve primarily to register stoppages, helping identify and track specific machine failures or interruptions.

Each piece of equipment can be:

Linked to a section and a corresponding work center.
Configured with a cost center and a responsible person.
Defined as physical or virtual, depending on its purpose.
