The metal detector on a cheese packaging line is usually a HACCP critical control point: a search head that senses ferrous, non-ferrous and stainless contaminants and a reject device that takes the product off the line. It only protects anyone if the settings are the validated ones and the reject works.
ChatterFix builds these as child assets under metal detector, 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.

ChatterFix builds this asset, its components, and its PM schedule automatically when you pick your industry — then your technicians update it by talking, not typing.
