Stationary Equipment Management Framework
3. What are stationary Equipment?
Definition: Stationary equipment is a general classification of mechanical
equipment that does not move. Depending on the company it may be called
"fixed equipment”, "static equipment” or "stationary equipment”
Examples: boilers, turbines, ventilation systems, motors and heating or cooling
systems within a building. For example, a stationary motor would be a motor on a
factory machine. This motor remains in the same place and helps power the
machine.
Locations which may have stationary equipment: Warehouses, Hotels,
Production factories, Shopping malls ,Industrial plants ,Hospital, Apartment
complexes, Schools and Government agencies
4. Common Responsibilities to manage stationary
equipment
Tracking data in equipment logs and creating charts or reports
Inspecting and evaluating equipment regularly
Maintaining the equipment by replacing or repairing parts
Adjusting the fuel or water levels
Operating and handling mechanical equipment, such as boilers and stationary
engines
Monitoring equipment and observing data related to water, fuel and air levels
Reading equipment gauges and assessing performance
Conducting tests to ensure equipment functions correctly
6. Some common skills in this field include:
Attention to detail: Monitor equipment and track data to ensure the systems
operate effectively and safely. They can use detail orientation skills to ensure
accuracy when tracking and observing equipment information.
Communication skills: Depending on the size of the building, engineers may
with a team of professionals to help ensure all equipment functions correctly. They
can use strong communication skills to discuss processes, delegate tasks and
review procedures to help keep team members safe when working with equipment.
7. Coordination: Operating and maintaining equipment may require physical
coordination and dexterity. Depending on their specialty, engineers may work with
electric tools, and they can use a steady hand to perform repairs.
Endurance: Stationary engineers often work on their feet, conducting tests and
observing machines regularly. They can use endurance to help them complete all of
of their physical tasks.
Analytical reasoning: Engineers can use analytical reasoning and problem-solving
skills to troubleshoot repair systems. They can diagnose problems and create
productive solutions to increase efficiency.
8. Mechanical skills: To operate and maintain equipment, engineers use strong
mechanical skills. These skills can also help them troubleshoot and fix equipment.
Technical knowledge: They need to understand all the parts and processes of the
equipment to ensure it functions correctly.
