Controls are the only building system that can fail completely while every screen still shows normal operation. A drifted sensor or an actuator that no longer reaches its commanded position does not raise an alarm — it just controls the building to the wrong number, and the cost shows up in energy and comfort complaints that get blamed on the mechanical plant.
ChatterFix builds these as child assets under building automation controls, so failure history and PM completions attach to the component that actually failed — not just to the machine.
The failure modes worth designing a maintenance schedule around — in rough order of what they cost when they happen.
Recording that a PM was "done" tells you nothing next quarter. These are the readings that let you see a failure coming — and the reason ChatterFix captures measurements against the asset rather than just completions.
The parts whose absence turns a short repair into a long outage.
