Introduction

Welcome to your Assets and Inventory Guide, your complete resource for setting up, integrating, and optimizing your new module. In this guide, you’ll learn how to configure your environment, connect Assets and Inventory throughout the Foreman platform, and apply best practices that help you get the most out of your setup.

With Assets and Inventory, you’ll transform how your mining facility operates. Gain full control over your equipment, materials, and inventory from purchase to deployment to retirement, all within one centralized system. Say goodbye to scattered spreadsheets, third-party trackers, and manual updates. Instead, manage every asset through the same streamlined workflow you already use in Foreman.

This addition extends your operational visibility beyond the network, giving you a complete view of your hardware lifecycle and consumable resources. The result is reduced downtime, lower costs, and data-backed decision-making that keeps your operation running smoothly, efficiently, and at scale.

Who This Guide Is For

This guide is designed for:

• Operations Managers – Responsible for overseeing asset lifecycle, inventory control, and facility-wide operations.
• Facility Administrators – Managing day-to-day configuration, user permissions, and system setup.
• Maintenance Teams – Technicians and supervisors who work directly with assets and inventory during repairs and deployments.
• Finance and Compliance Teams – Auditors and analysts who need accurate records for depreciation tracking, capital expenditure, and regulatory reporting.
• New Foreman Administrators – Anyone implementing Assets & Inventory for the first time or migrating from spreadsheets and third-party tools.

When to use this guide: Reference this resource during initial setup, onboarding new facilities, or when expanding your asset tracking to new locations or equipment types. Return to specific sections as your operation scales or when training new team members.

Learning Objectives

Assets and Inventory brings operational clarity to every stage of your workflow, giving you complete visibility across purchase, deployment, and maintenance. Its integrated design eliminates the need for spreadsheets or disconnected tools, keeping everything centralized and up to date. Through automation, triggers, and linking rules, repetitive tasks are handled automatically — reducing manual effort and improving accuracy.. Built-in accountability ensures transparency with ticket-based tracking and detailed history logs that show exactly where resources move and why. And because it’s designed to scale, the system maintains the same level of precision whether you’re managing 100 or 10,000 miners.

Together, these capabilities set the foundation for a more connected, data-driven operation—one where your team can act faster, maintain control, and prevent costly downtime before it happens. As you move through setup, you’ll start to see how these features translate into measurable improvements across your environment. Below are the key benefits you can expect once Assets and Inventory are fully configured, followed by a setup checklist to help guide your implementation and ensure a smooth transition from manual tracking to complete lifecycle management.

Key Benefits

• Complete Asset Visibility
  Track every mining rig, power unit, and infrastructure component from acquisition to disposal.  
• Proactive Maintenance Management
  Receive automated alerts when assets require service or parts run low.  
• Streamlined Operations
  Eliminate manual spreadsheet tracking with automated inventory management and faster repair cycles.

Configuration Checklist

Review and complete all setup steps to ensure your asset and inventory management processes run smoothly from day one.

1. Set up Assets – Create and organize digital records of physical equipment for full visibility into each item’s lifecycle.
2. Set up Inventory – Create and organize digital records of all consumables, materials, and components to gain full visibility into their status, location, and lifecycle.
3. Set up Offline Locations – Map where assets and inventory physically reside for accurate tracking, even when not connected to active infrastructure.
4. Set up Triggers – Automate workflows by linking asset or inventory changes to specific system actions or alerts.
5. Link Assets and Inventory to Tickets – Connect items directly to support or maintenance tickets to improve traceability and accountability.
6. Export Reports – Generate and download data summaries for audits, reporting, and operational analysis.
