The new Equipment & Asset Power Apps is announced to be released soon with the objective to simplify equipment or asset management, equipment identification, verification, maintenance and calibration. The Power Apps is intended to be used for any equipment type, like production and measurement equipment or digital assets.
The frontend Equipment Power Apps works jointly with BPA back-office software solutions (QMS and Medical). It’s compliant with any device, like phones or tablets, and can be used offline for equipment verifications. The app was designed to be generic and match typical organizations needs.
Equipment can be added easily or mass imported in the BPA software with their needed properties, like a verification procedure or checklist. A barcode is automatically generated for each equipment.
