More detail is not automatically better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><thead><tr>\n<th scope=\"col\">CAFM asset level<\/th>\n<th scope=\"col\">Can suit<\/th>\n<th scope=\"col\">Trade-off<\/th>\n<\/tr><\/thead><tbody>\n<tr><td>Locker bank<\/td><td>Conventional estates normally serviced as a group<\/td><td>Simple record structure but limited compartment-level detail<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td>Locker unit<\/td><td>Mixed configurations or modular estates<\/td><td>More precise without creating a record for every door<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td>Compartment<\/td><td>Smart, individually maintained, high-security or individually metered lockers<\/td><td>Highest record volume and administration<\/td><\/tr>\n<\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Choose the lowest level of detail that supports the actual maintenance and reporting workflow. If engineers work on locker banks and no process depends on individual compartment records, thousands of compartment assets may create administration without useful control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-use-stable-asset-reference\">Step 2: Use a Stable Physical Asset Reference<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">CAFM needs a stable way to identify the real locker asset, but that does not mean CAFM must be the system that originally authors the asset ID. Where the <a href=\"\/blog\/blog-locker-asset-register-uk\/\">Locker Asset Register<\/a> is authoritative, CAFM should consume or reference that identifier consistently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Do not use a named user as the asset identifier.<\/li>\n<li>Do not use a temporary allocation reference as the asset identifier.<\/li>\n<li>Do not rely solely on the visible locker number where that number can change.<\/li>\n<li>Keep site, room and visible-number fields separate from the stable physical reference.<\/li>\n<li>Use the same physical reference in faults, work orders and handover records.<\/li>\n<li>Record relocation as a location change unless the organisation&#8217;s asset policy requires a new asset record.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An identifier such as <code>LK-004821<\/code> can remain stable while the site, room, locker number and user relationship change elsewhere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-map-existing-building-hierarchy\">Step 3: Reuse the Existing Building Hierarchy<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Locker CAFM data should normally sit within the organisation&#8217;s existing facilities hierarchy rather than creating a separate locker-only geography.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Organisation<\/li>\n<li>Site<\/li>\n<li>Building<\/li>\n<li>Floor<\/li>\n<li>Department or zone where useful<\/li>\n<li>Room or changing area<\/li>\n<li>Locker bank, unit or compartment<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This makes faults easier to route and allows lockers to sit alongside other facilities assets without losing locker-specific maintenance detail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-minimum-cafm-field-set\">Step 4: Define the Minimum CAFM Field Set<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">CAFM should not copy every field from every locker system.

That shortcut allows the maintenance system to make an intervention decision it does not own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-controlled-vocabularies\">Controlled Vocabularies Matter<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Controlled values make integration and reporting more reliable, but the system that owns each vocabulary should remain clear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Locker material, locker type, configuration and lock family:<\/strong> Asset Register-controlled values.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Fault category, work-order priority, job status and completion action:<\/strong> CAFM-controlled values.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Audit finding:<\/strong> Estate Audit-controlled values.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Lifecycle status:<\/strong> Lifecycle-controlled values.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Site and location codes:<\/strong> facilities hierarchy.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Occupancy states:<\/strong> Occupancy Management.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">CAFM may validate an incoming Audit or Lifecycle value against an approved list.

itemscope itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Answer\"><div itemprop=\"text\">\n<p>Locker CAFM integration connects locker assets with facilities workflows such as faults, work orders, planned maintenance, inspection tasks, completion evidence and project handover while retaining clear ownership of asset, audit and lifecycle data.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n<div itemscope itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Question\">\n<h3 itemprop=\"name\">Should every locker compartment have its own CAFM record?<\/h3>\n<div itemscope itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Answer\"><div itemprop=\"text\">\n<p>No. Many estates can be maintained effectively at locker-bank or unit level. Individual compartment records are useful only where maintenance, security, smart-system or reporting requirements justify that detail.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n<div itemscope itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Question\">\n<h3 itemprop=\"name\">Should CAFM own the locker asset ID?<\/h3>\n<div itemscope itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Answer\"><div itemprop=\"text\">\n<p>Not necessarily. CAFM needs a stable physical asset reference, but the authoritative ID may come from the Locker Asset Register or the organisation&#8217;s wider asset system. The same reference should then be used consistently in maintenance records.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n<div itemscope itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Question\">\n<h3 itemprop=\"name\">Can CAFM decide that a locker should be replaced?<\/h3>\n<div itemscope itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Answer\"><div itemprop=\"text\">\n<p>No. CAFM can record repeated faults, downtime, repair actions and completion evidence that may justify Lifecycle review. The repair, refurbishment, replacement or decommissioning decision belongs in Locker Lifecycle Management.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n<div itemscope itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Question\">\n<h3 itemprop=\"name\">Does closing a CAFM work order prove that the locker is in good condition?<\/h3>\n<div itemscope itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Answer\"><div itemprop=\"text\">\n<p>No. Work-order closure shows that the recorded maintenance action has been completed. Where formal physical verification is required, condition evidence should come from the Estate Audit process.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n<div itemscope itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Question\">\n<h3 itemprop=\"name\">Does CAFM need named-user allocation data?<\/h3>\n<div itemscope itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Answer\"><div itemprop=\"text\">\n<p>Usually not. Named-user allocation and live occupancy normally belong in Locker Management or operational locker systems. CAFM should receive only the information needed for the facilities workflow.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n<div itemscope itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Question\">\n<h3 itemprop=\"name\">Is an API required for locker CAFM integration?<\/h3>\n<div itemscope itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Answer\"><div itemprop=\"text\">\n<p>No. Manual updates, CSV imports and scheduled exchanges can be appropriate where information changes slowly. API integration is useful where maintenance or service-status events need to move between systems more quickly.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n<div itemscope itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Question\">\n<h3 itemprop=\"name\">What happens to CAFM data after locker replacement?<\/h3>\n<div itemscope itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Answer\"><div itemprop=\"text\">\n<p>The old maintenance asset should be closed or decommissioned, the new physical asset should be linked or created using the approved stable reference, and only maintenance information that still applies should be carried forward.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n<div itemscope itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Question\">\n<h3 itemprop=\"name\">Can smart locker faults create CAFM work orders?<\/h3>\n<div itemscope itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Answer\"><div itemprop=\"text\">\n<p>Yes, where the integration is designed for it. The event should resolve to the correct physical asset, create a controlled fault or work order and retain a clear source and error-handling process.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-summary\">Summary<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Locker CAFM integration should remain focused on maintenance execution and facilities workflow: asset reference, fault capture, work orders, planned tasks, engineer activity, parts, completion evidence, imports, APIs and project handover.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Keep stable physical fields with the Asset Register, verified condition with Estate Audit, recurring maintenance-risk interpretation with Predictive Maintenance, intervention decisions with Lifecycle Management and the combined estate view with Estate Management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The clean flow is: <strong>fault or task \u2192 controlled work order \u2192 action \u2192 completion evidence \u2192 service-status update \u2192 specialist evidence handoff where required.<\/strong> That gives facilities teams a useful maintenance system without turning CAFM into a second Audit or Lifecycle engine.<\/p>\n\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Locker systems are no longer isolated workplace assets.
