Photograph the nameplate.
The AI fills in the record.
Plan2Asset AI reads each asset's nameplate from a photo. It identifies the equipment type, extracts brand, model, serial number and power, and fills in the technical fields for that type with the right units. The technician just confirms.
How it works
Photograph the asset and its nameplate
Two photos on site: one of the asset, one of the nameplate. With no signal, the photos are kept on the phone.
The AI identifies and reads
It recognises the equipment type among 123 types and reads brand, model, serial number, power and the fields specific to that type.
The technician confirms
Reviews the record in seconds and corrects anything needed. Duplicate serial numbers are flagged on the spot.
Ready for your CMMS
The record goes out with its photos and location, to Excel or straight into the CMMS.
What the AI reads from the nameplate
Every asset
Brand, model, serial number, year of manufacture, power and voltage.
HVAC
Cooling and heating capacity, refrigerant type and refrigerant charge.
Pumps and water
Flow rate, head, power and speed.
Panels and power
Rated current, voltage, IP rating and number of circuits.
Less time, fewer errors
- The traditional way, inspecting and recording a nameplate takes 8 to 10 minutes per asset[1].
- No transcription errors: the data comes from the photo, not from handwritten notes.
- Standardised fields per equipment type: every technician records the same way.
- The nameplate photo stays attached to the record for the maintenance team.
Frequently asked questions
What data does the AI read from the nameplate?
Brand, model, serial number, year, power and voltage, plus the fields specific to each equipment type, such as cooling capacity and refrigerant on HVAC units or flow rate and head on pumps.
What if the nameplate is worn or unreadable?
The AI fills in what it can read and the technician completes the rest by hand. The photo is always kept with the record.
Does it work with no signal, in a basement or plant room?
Yes. Photos are stored on the phone and the analysis runs once you are back online.
Which brands does it recognise?
90+ brands are recognised automatically, from pumps to chillers. Others are read directly from the nameplate text.
