Summary
In short
- A meter based pm record is a record used in KnowMaintain that schedules maintenance on running hours, cycles or distance rather than the calendar. It is built against ISO 55001 cl.8.2 and forms part of the Planned Maintenance programme.
- Completed when the meter reading hits the trigger. Carried out by the technician.
- The template holds 39 fields across 4 sections, with tasks repeating for each entry.
- Scoring is complete or not, where high is good.
- ISO 55001 is asset management systems. The international standard for getting value from physical assets across their whole life. Underpins the maintenance templates.
- It connects to the rest of the library: links Asset, Meter Reading.

When to use it
When to use it, and when not to
This record is one step in a larger programme. Using it for work that belongs to a neighbouring template produces records that are hard to report on later.
Use it for
- The event or activity this record covers has occurred, or is about to
- A new record is needed; each one gets its own ID in the form MPM-2026-000
- You are running the Planned Maintenance programme and this is one of its steps
- A linked record needs this one to exist: links asset, meter reading
Not for
- Preventive Maintenance Plan, which sets out what preventive work each asset needs, how often and why.
- Daily PM Checklist, which covers daily checks such as lubrication points, fluid levels and visual condition.
- Weekly PM Checklist, which covers weekly preventive tasks including cleaning, belt and chain checks and minor adjustments.
- Anything outside KnowMaintain, which belongs in the workspace that owns that process

The agents
What the agents do with it
The form is the easy part. Keeping it current, routing it to the right owner and holding the evidence together is the work that actually slips.
Holds the meter based pm record library against your registers, routes each record to its owner, and keeps the evidence trail together.
Coordinates the crew, rolls completion and exceptions into one view, and holds every write for your approval before it touches a record.
This template lives in KnowMaintain — asset maintenance. Work orders, planned maintenance, calibration, reliability and shutdowns.
