Abstract: A computer-implemented method and system including generating a representation of an object associated with an equipment in an equipment management network, the object having an object type and being generated for a first user of the equipment management network; receiving, from the first user, an indication of whether a first other user is authorized to reshare the object via the equipment management network with a second other user of the equipment management network; receiving, from the first other user, an indication to reshare the object with the second other user; determining, based on a value of the indication of whether the first other user is authorized to reshare the object with the second other user, that the first other user is authorized to reshare the object with the second other user; and automatically resharing the object with the second other user without requesting approval from the first user.

Abstract: In some implementations, supporting system collaboration includes actions of generating a digital identifier for a digital object corresponding to a physical object included in an object list formatted for display and including model information retrieved from a second system coupled to the first system, the model information including an identifier of a physical object and one or more characteristics of the physical object, assigning the digital identifier of the digital object to a service to be performed on the physical object, transmitting, to a second system, the digital identifier, the second system performing a service related to the physical object, receiving, to a second system, a service result related to the physical object, and transmitting, to a third system, the service result related to the physical object.

Abstract: In some implementations, supporting system collaboration includes actions of receiving a registration of an account on a system, adding objects to an object list including model information that includes an identifier of a physical object and characteristics of the physical object, publishing the object list to make the object list visible to a plurality of users of the first system, receiving, from one of the plurality of users of the system, a request to export a portion of the object list, conditioning the portion of the object list to be accessible to another system by converting the portion of the object list based on a transmission protocol, formatting the portion of the object list for display on the other system, and packaging the portion of the object list for transmission to the other system, and exporting the portion of the object list to the other system.

Abstract: A contact element is used for anticipatory earthing of a plug-in module during insertion in guides of a casing or a modular chassis up to plugging in. In order to ensure a reliable and effective protective earthing and a very early conducting away of electrostatic charges during the plugging-in process, a contact element is provided with a clamping area and a holding area. The clamping area is constructed for contact engagement on a circuit board and the holding area is constructed for retaining the contact element on a cross extrusion of the casing or the modular chassis.
