Equipment may sit there doing nothing. If the schematics view does not show the equipment is blocked, then most likely it is one of the following:
*The equipment lacks the necessary inputs, either input pipes are empty or item inputs haven't been delivered.
**For pipe inputs this is indicated by the pipe connection circle appearing hollow rather than filled. If the equipment has a right-click menu, the input "reservoir" will be less than full and unchanging.
** For item inputs, the right-click menu will show a ghost of the input item rather than a solid item. (Note that robot arms can deliver items from storage crates or tracks, which will minimize this downtime)
*The equipment requires certain environmental conditions that haven't been met.  
**[[CO2 Scrubber]]s only operate if CO2 is in the air
**[[Gas Collector]]s only operate if the ship is in a [[Sector Map#Gas Clouds|gas cloud]]
** Hyperspace equipment only operates during hyperspace
*The equipment is a [[:Category:Crew station|crew station]] and lacks an operator
