Machine Room & Rack Inventory
Machine rooms, central equipment rooms and racks fill up over years of changes, and the documentation rarely keeps up. Beam records each device's place in a location hierarchy of up to seven levels, from building to room to rack, with its configuration, manuals and documents attached. Engineers update it from a phone by scanning, so the record stays current as equipment moves.
Use case in practice
- Building to Rack: Locations of up to seven levels, from building to room to rack.
- Configuration on the Record: Keep configuration details, photos and documents with each device.
- Manuals Included: Product manuals, datasheets and setup guides come pre-populated from manufacturer data.
- Scan to Update: Scan a barcode or QR code to move or update a device in the field.
- Full History: Every move and change is logged with the user and time.
Why it matters
- Faster Troubleshooting: Engineers find the device and its documents in seconds.
- Current As-Builts: The record changes as the room changes.
- Safer Changes: See what is in a rack before work starts.
- Easier Handovers: New staff and contractors start from a current record.
- Better Capacity Planning: Know what each room holds before adding more.
