Equipment Classes allow equipment to be placed into groups where each item is of a similar type. For example they could be grouped as follows:
| Class | Equipment |
| Labeller | Bottle labeller A |
| Bottle labeller B | |
| Packing cell | Cell 12 |
| Cell 13 |
Each equipment class is associated to an equipment level within a hierarchy. Different functions within ATS Bus will work with different equipment levels.
The hierarchy is as follows:
| Equipment Level | Example |
| Enterprise | Group of car manufacturing plants |
| Site | A single car manufacturing plant |
| Area | Paint area |
| Work Cell | Spray booths |
| Work Unit | Single spray booth |
| Part | Fender |
