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

Counters are added and maintained in the Meters TSI.

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.
