Equipment Data Point

"Equipment Data Point" refers to a specific piece of information or a measurable value associated with a piece of equipment. "Equipment Data Points" in Akila represent the link between real-time data coming from sensors, actuators, or other devices, and the Akila platform. They are related to a piece of a equipment, which can be anything from a large piece of equipment being monitored and controlled by a BMS, to an individual IOT sensor device.

Data point means that point can generate time-series data.

A data point location means that the point is capable of generating time series data.
