Hi,
What you describe sounds like a requirement for Resource Management in Project Plans. Unfortunately not enough people ask about this one in the past, so there is right now no ready-to-use option available.
Maybe this discussion provides you a few additional ideas:
community.aras.com/.../handle-resources-in-aras-project-management-possible
This github projects may also be of interest:
github.com/.../aras-pm-resource-mgmt
Warning: It´s describes a basic concept, it´s far aways from ready to use solution! Take a look at the Image that shows the Activity. You can add an additional relationship for handling your machines.
Unfortunately that´s already everything the projects provides. The main task it to integrate this one into the rest of Project Managment, maybe with an additional Gantt Chart or similar.
Thanks alot for your valuable suggestions.
