  Key Concepts: 
  Measuring points are used in Plant Maintenance (PM) to record the values of technical characteristics of an object. These characteristics can be measured, such as temperature, pressure, or voltage. Measuring points are used to store the values of these characteristics and can be used to compare them with the target values. 
  
  How to use it: 
  Measuring points are created in the PM system and assigned to an object. The values of the technical characteristics are then recorded in the measuring point. The measuring point can be used to compare the actual values with the target values and take corrective action if necessary. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  It is important to ensure that the measuring points are correctly configured and that the correct target values are set. This will ensure that any discrepancies between actual and target values can be identified quickly and corrective action taken.
