The Hardware View focuses on the physical aspects of the devices and their components. This view is essential for various use cases related to asset management, including enhanced serviceability.

Key features of the Hardware View are introduced in the following subsections.

These are modelled with properties such as nameplates, installation dates, condition monitoring, and calibration & validation status.

Hardware components like the Lid, Rotor, Drive, and Compressor are modelled in a sub-tree. Each component exposes its individual nameplate and maintenance-related information, similar to the device itself, and can also have components itself.

Recurrent tasks that affect either the entire device or individual components (such as inspection, maintenance, calibration, validation, cleaning, etc.) can be organized via LADS.
