When a plant uses local machine templates rather than inheriting corporate blueprints, engineers create site-specific Plant Machine Templates aligned with that facility's local equipment and downtime failure reasons.

Inheritance Prerequisite

Switch Setting on the Plant	Behavior
Use company machine templates = On	Plant reads Company Machine Templates read-only. Requires Use company downtime catalogs = On.
Use company machine templates = Off	Plant engineers can create, customize, and delete local templates under that plant.

Step 1: Open Plant Machine Templates

1. Go to Configuration -> Plants.
2. Click Manage -> Machine Templates on the target plant card.
3. Confirm the breadcrumb displays Plants > <Plant Name> > Machine Templates.

Step 2: Create a Plant Machine Template

1. Click Create Template (top-right).
2. Enter the Template Name (e.g., ID Fan Valladolid Spec), category metadata, and engineering Description.
3. Save to add the card to the plant template catalog.

Step 3: Configure Components, Expected Tags & Linked Reasons

1. Click a template card to open its Template Detail workspace.
2. Add machine Components (for example, Grinding Rollers) and link applicable failure reasons from the plant's Downtime Catalog.
3. Define Expected Tags, units, alert thresholds, and KPI specifications so commissioning physical machines from this blueprint stays uniform.
