What is the difference between Plant Equipment Register and Equipment Maintenance modules

Based on the documentation, the primary difference between the Plant Equipment Register and the Equipment Maintenance module lies in their specific focus and capabilities. The Plant Equipment Register is presented as a centralized inventory system with a key feature of integrating directly with Risk Assessments. The Equipment Maintenance module is a more comprehensive system for managing the entire lifecycle of equipment, including proactive maintenance scheduling, logging detailed service events, and managing classified equipment. 1 2
