Entirely passive until the day it matters, so inspection records are the only proof it works. Impairments are invisible from the floor: a closed valve or a panel in trouble looks like nothing at all.
ChatterFix builds these as child assets under fire & life safety system, 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.
The PMs ChatterFix schedules against this equipment, with intervals and time estimates.
