Type in MRO Material Cataloguing: The Silent Organizer Behind Industrial Data
In Maintenance, Repair, and Operations (MRO), “Type” is not just a casual label—it is a formalized category that defines the general class an item belongs to. Whether it’s a “Ball Valve,” “Centrifugal Pump,” or “Safety Helmet,” the Type determines where an item lives in the digital taxonomy of an enterprise resource planning (ERP) or computerized maintenance management system (CMMS). Done right, it turns a chaotic sea of materials into a navigable, functional asset library.
