A counter is a device that is linked to an asset and that continuously records ascending or descending values. Counters are used in predictive-based maintenance to calculate the relevant moment for an asset’s preventive maintenance.

Counters are subtypes of meters. Counters are added and maintained in Meters > Meters.

Assets, such as copiers, printers, fuel tanks or company cars, are often equipped with one or more counters. For example: counters that measure kilometers, energy or fuel consumption or operational hours.
