⚙️ Understanding Machine Class
What is a Machine Class?
A Machine Class is used to group and categorise Machine Types into broader classifications. While Machine Type refers to a specific kind of equipment (e.g. Forklift, Conveyor), Machine Class represents the general category it belongs to (e.g. Manual Equipment, Automated Equipment).
This structure helps with reporting, operational control, and warehouse configuration where broader grouping is required.
