Let's get started!
The Equipment Availability Report provides insight into how much time equipment is operational versus unavailable over a selected period.
This report enables operations and maintenance teams to:
Monitor the availability and downtime of equipment across branches, types, or specific units.
Identify equipment that is frequently unavailable or underperforming.
Support maintenance planning by highlighting equipment that may require attention or replacement.
Optimise resource allocation by understanding equipment utilisation trends.
This report is essential for maintaining high operational efficiency and ensuring equipment readiness across all sites.
Getting There
To access the Equipment Availability Report in Service Geeni, follow these steps:
Open the Business Intelligence module.
Select the KPI Viewer sub-module.
Locate the Equipment Availability report module.
(Optional) Click the gear icon on the lower-right corner of the report module to add or modify filters.
Click the report module to generate the report.
Available Filters and Their Impact
Use the filters at the top of the report to refine which equipment and timeframes are displayed.
Branch: Filters the report by the branch or depot where the equipment is assigned. This uses the branch selected in the main Service Geeni interface.
Tip: Focus on a single branch to monitor local equipment performance, or select multiple branches for a broader overview.
Period: Defines the start and end dates of the report. The selected period determines how data is grouped, such as by day, week, month, or year.
Tip: Short periods are ideal for operational checks, while longer periods help identify trends over time.
Equipment ID: Filters the report for specific equipment units.
Tip: Use this filter to evaluate individual machine performance.
Equipment Make: Filters the report by manufacturer or brand.
Tip: Compare availability across different equipment makes.
Equipment Model: Filters the report by model name or description.
Tip: Identify whether specific models experience recurring downtime issues.
Type Enquiry: Filters the report by equipment type or category.
Tip: Useful for analysing availability trends across different equipment types.
Chart Overview – Equipment Availability Trend
The Equipment Availability Report includes a bar chart that visually represents equipment availability across the selected period.
What the Chart Shows
Each bar represents the average availability percentage of equipment for a specific time segment.
The chart helps identify trends, fluctuations, and patterns in equipment availability over time.
Lower bars indicate periods where equipment downtime was higher.
Higher bars indicate periods of improved availability.
Insight: This chart is particularly useful for identifying recurring availability issues and validating whether maintenance strategies are improving overall equipment uptime over time.
Column Breakdown and Key Fields
Each row in the report represents a piece of equipment and its availability for the selected duration.
Column Name | Description |
Equipment ID | Unique identifier for each equipment unit. |
Make | Manufacturer or brand of the equipment. |
Model | Model name and description of the equipment. |
Type | Equipment type or classification. |
Duration | Time segment label depending on the period (day, week, month, year). |
Availability | Percentage of time the equipment was available during the period. |
Insight: Analysing equipment availability helps prevent unexpected downtime, supports maintenance planning, and ensures resources are effectively allocated across branches and sites.
The Equipment Availability Report is a critical tool for monitoring the operational readiness of all equipment. By using this report, teams can:
Track equipment downtime and availability trends.
Identify equipment that may need maintenance or replacement.
Optimise planning and resource allocation across branches and sites.
Support audits, operational reviews, and performance reporting.
Review this report regularly - weekly, monthly, or per operational cycle - to ensure equipment is maintained, operational, and ready for use. Monitoring availability over time helps improve operational efficiency, reduce downtime, and maintain service quality.
