Creating a Wheel or Rim assembly


Assemblies are composed of a wheel or rim and a tyre.  Therefore, it is necessary that you have created these assets before attempting to build an assembly.  The ‘Create Wheel Assembly’ dialogue box was designed in a way to make creating these assets quick and easy.


The 'Create Wheel Assembly' dialogue box is divided into four areas:

  1. Site and location filter.  Use these dropdowns to focus the asset and tyre lists, thereby reducing the number of assets listed in the scroll boxes
  2. Search.  Use search to limit or pinpoint the asset you require
  3. Asset scroll boxes.  The Asset Tyres and Wheel scroll boxes make finding assets easy, just scroll through the available assets and click the  button to add it to the assembly.  If you have added the incorrect asset, press the  button to remove from the selection
  4. Asset Number and Description area.  You can add a description and modify the assembly number if required.

  By default, the assembly number is automatically generated, however it can be edited. We recommend that you do not modify this number.


Once you have added both the Tyre and Wheel or Rim to the assembly, the assembly number is automatically generated.  Assemblies are named using a generic naming convention, this allows the user to quickly find and understand what components make up the assembly As you can see from the image below the assembly number is ‘AST-4300-2’.  If you think about the components of that number, you will see three distinct components.

  • AS – Refers to Assembly.
  • 10113310 – Refers to the asset number of the tyre asset.
  • -1 – Refers to how many times the tyre has been a part of an assembly.  In this case, this tyre has been on 1 wheel or rim only.

Wheel assembly objects display information about what vehicle they are assigned to and what components they are made of.  The below images show the different states of an assembly.  One that is in production and one that is spare.
