The measure-triggered maintenance plan allows automatic triggering of maintenance tasks based on actual usage, calculated through digital counter readings.
As soon as a reading exceeds a defined threshold, Mobility Work automatically creates the associated task, ensuring maintenance is performed at the right time, neither too early nor too late.
How It Works
When a measure-triggered maintenance plan is configured:
- an initial threshold is set in the plan;
- users record digital counter readings;
- each reading is compared by Mobility Work against the current threshold;
- if the threshold is reached or exceeded, a maintenance task is automatically generated.
All readings and tasks remain traceable in the history and timeline.
What Is a Threshold?
The threshold is a limit defined in the maintenance plan, indicating at what usage level an intervention is needed.
- If the reading is below the threshold → no task is created.
- If the reading is equal to or above the threshold → a task is created.
Thresholds Are Incremental
Thresholds are always:
- positive (never negative),
- incremental,
- non-resettable to 0.
Each new threshold is calculated by adding the initial threshold to the previous threshold, ensuring a logical and continuous progression.
Types of Counters
Digital Counters (Compatible)
measure triggered maintenance plans work only with digital counters, because the system must perform mathematical comparisons (≥, ≤).
Valid examples:
- 300
- 400
- 556
- 434.665
Text Counters (Not Compatible)
Text-based counters cannot be compared to a threshold and are therefore not compatible with this type of plan.
Invalid examples:
- Production 345
- (23-56)
- Ok 43
- Limit 679
- 10 degrees
- All ok

Step-by-Step Example
Plan rule: generate a task every 300 units of the Production counter.
1. Reading = 250 units
- Current threshold: 300
- 250 ≥ 300? No
➡️ No task created
2. Reading = 300 units
- Current threshold: 300
- 300 ≥ 300? Yes
➡️ Task created
➡️ Next threshold: 300 + 300 = 600
3. Reading = 450 units
- Current threshold: 600
- 450 ≥ 600? No
➡️ No task created
4. Reading = 620 units
- Current threshold: 600
- 620 ≥ 600? Yes
➡️ Task created
➡️ Next threshold: 900
5. Reading Exceeding Multiple Thresholds
If a reading exceeds several maintenance cycles, Mobility Work:
- identifies the last threshold exceeded,
- creates only one task,
- calculates the next threshold above the reading.
Example:
- Initial threshold: 300
- Reading: 1350
- Intermediate thresholds: 600, 900, 1200
➡️ Task created for threshold 1200
➡️ Next threshold: 1500
No duplicate tasks are generated.
Modifying the Initial Threshold
Role required: Administrator
It is possible to modify the initial threshold of a measure-triggered maintenance plan. This change only affects future tasks.
Fundamental Rule
❗ No retroactive task is ever created, regardless of existing readings.
The next threshold is recalculated from:
- the last reading that triggered a task, if it exists,
- or the first multiple of the new initial threshold if no task exists.
Formula:
Next threshold = first multiple of the new initial threshold strictly higher than the last reading that triggered a task
Case 1: No Existing Readings
- Initial threshold: 500 → 200
- Readings: none
➡️ Next threshold: 200
➡️ No task created
Case 2: Existing Readings Without Task
- Initial threshold: 1000 → 200
- Readings: 450, 520, 900
➡️ Next threshold: 200
➡️ No retroactive task
Case 3: Task Already Triggered, Readings Below New Threshold
- Last triggering reading: 1200
- Initial threshold: 500 → 300
➡️ Next threshold: 1500
➡️ Task created only when a new reading ≥ 1500 occurs
Case 4: Task Already Triggered, Readings Above New Threshold
- Last triggering reading: 3100
- Initial threshold: 500 → 50
➡️ Next threshold: 3150
➡️ No retroactive task, even if readings > 3150 exist
Key Points to Remember
- Counter-based plans trigger tasks based on actual usage.
- Only digital counters are compatible.
- Thresholds are incremental and non-resettable.
- No retroactive task is ever created.
- Any threshold modification affects future tasks only.
