The nameplate may include the model, serial number, type, capacity, power, voltage, year of manufacture, and even engine specifications. However, the layout and terminology used may vary from one manufacturer to another.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A single mistake in reading a code can lead to the search pointing to the wrong model, an incorrect technical document, or spare parts that are incompatible with the unit. Therefore, each value must be recorded along with its original label. The number next to the text <code>SERIAL NO.<\/code> It must be recorded as a serial number, not automatically referred to as a part number.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Before reading the code on the plate, make sure you understand it first <strong><a href=\"\/perbedaan-model-sku-part-number-serial-number\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"\/cara-membaca-nameplate-alat\/\">Differences Between SKU, Part Number, and Serial Number Models<\/a><\/strong> to ensure that identities are not mixed up when a quote request is made. In addition to the nameplate photo, you\u2019ll also need to include a photo of the entire unit, a description of the equipment\u2019s function, the location where the code is found, and the specific requirements you\u2019re looking for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-rank-math-toc-block\" id=\"rank-math-toc\"><h2>In This Article<\/h2><nav><ol><li><a href=\"#apa-itu-nameplate-alat\">What Is an Equipment Nameplate?<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#mengapa-nameplate-penting-sebelum-meminta-penawaran\">Why Is a Nameplate Important Before Requesting a Quote?<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#informasi-yang-umumnya-terdapat-pada-nameplate\">Information Typically Found on a Nameplate<\/a><ol><li><a href=\"#brand-atau-manufacturer\">Brand or manufacturer<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#model\">Model<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#type\">Type<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#serial-number\">Serial number<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#machine-number\">Machine number<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#product-number\">Product number<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#material-number\">Material number<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#part-number\">Part number<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#engine-model\">Engine model<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#engine-serial-number\">Engine serial number<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#tahun-atau-tanggal-produksi\">Year or date of manufacture<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#daya\">Power<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#tegangan\">Voltage<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#frekuensi\">Frequency<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#arus\">Current<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#fase\">Phase<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#kecepatan\">Speed<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#kapasitas\">Capacity<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#berat\">Weight<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#standard-atau-certification-marking\">Standard or certification marking<\/a><\/li><\/ol><\/li><li><a href=\"#tabel-informasi-nameplate\">Nameplate Information Table<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#cara-membaca-nameplate-alat-langkah-demi-langkah\">Step-by-Step Guide to Reading Equipment Nameplates<\/a><ol><li><a href=\"#1-tentukan-objek-yang-diperiksa\">1.

The Caterpillar documentation, for example, explains that the Identification Plate may contain manufacturer information, models, serial numbers, production dates, safety warnings, certifications, and other technical specifications. Actual information remains dependent on the units and manufacturers being inspected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The location of the nameplate is also not always the same. Nameplate can be found at:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>main frame;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>housing;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>engine side;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>control panel;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>alternator;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>electric motor;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Pump casing;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>gearbox;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>chassis;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>inside cover;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>near the operator's position.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One tool can have more than one plate. Therefore, do not immediately consider the first plate found as the identity of the whole unit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"mengapa-nameplate-penting-sebelum-meminta-penawaran\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why Is a Nameplate Important Before Requesting a Quote?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The nameplate provides a starting point for identifying units or components. The information can help the sales team, procurement, technicians, and suppliers:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>determine the unit model;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>distinguish one physical unit from another;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>looking for a manual or datasheet;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Determine relevant catalog parts;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>check the serial range;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>identify engine or components;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>reduce the risk of misinformation of code;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>prepare technical clarification;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Develop more relevant quotations.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Serial numbers are basically used to identify one individual instance. GS1 explains that the serial number can be a number or alphanumeric combination and is assigned to an entity instance. In the product identification system, the basic product identity combined with the serial number can distinguish one physical unit from another.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, the nameplate is not automatic proof that:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>units available;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>spare parts available;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>the product is still produced;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>warranty is still valid;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>units owned by certain parties;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>a part compatible;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The specifications on the website apply to the unit.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nameplate information should be compared with manufacturer's documents, catalog parts, manuals, or confirmation of relevant product sources.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"informasi-yang-umumnya-terdapat-pada-nameplate\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Information Typically Found on a Nameplate<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Not all nameplate contains the same element. Use the labels that are actually printed as the starting source.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"brand-atau-manufacturer\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Brand or manufacturer<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Brand or manufacturer indicates the brand name or manufacturer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Note that the commercial brand name and the manufacturer's legal name may differ. Do not change the written name without supporting evidence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"model\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Model<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The model shows the type, family, or product configuration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The model can distinguish:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>capacity;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>size;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>generation;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>power source;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>configuration;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>features;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>application area.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One model can be owned by many units, so the model is usually not the unique identity of a physical unit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"type\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Type<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><code>TYPE<\/code> It can mean a specific model, technical type, configuration, or category. It means following the manufacturer's system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When the plate writes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>Type: XYZ-10<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">record as <code>Type<\/code>, not automatically converted to <code>Model<\/code>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"serial-number\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Serial number<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The serial number distinguishes one physical unit from another in the publisher system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Serial number can help with the examination:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>unit history;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>serial range;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>configuration;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Parts Diagram;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>service record;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>production documents.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Caterpillar also uses search based on machine serial number or model in their Parts Reference. This suggests that the serial number can help narrow the search for parts for certain machine configurations, but does not guarantee that all parts are immediately compatible without further checks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"machine-number\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Machine number<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Machine numbers can have different meanings according to the manufacturer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Possible use:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>unit number;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>production number;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>machine identity;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>configuration code;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Internal code.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Use status <code>PENDING<\/code> If the manufacturer's documentation does not explain its meaning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"product-number\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Product number<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Product Number can refer to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>product identity;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>catalog items;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>package;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>configuration;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>commercial products.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Don't call it a part number right away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"material-number\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Material number<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Material Number can be item code or material in a particular system.
