Maintance/Service recorder

Тема: Maintance/Service recorder

Hello,

We would like to suggest a new feature (App?): Maintance recorder

(already there were a few topics about this.. we just collected together those needs)

It would be useful to register events (mainatance work) separately from messages because:

~400 days history is not enough (these data should be interesting for a longer period, not just for 1 year)
~Maintance report couldn't work with a longer period because of the number of the messages
(Error message would come:"Execution time has exceeded the limit"..with a bigger fleet 200+ units now we can't get result for less then 12 days)

Both of this could be solved if maintance would registered to an other place..

Now reports deals with the past (historical data), it would be nice to get current status (with upcoming shedule..).
"Please include current meters, and each of the interval basis; e.g miles, hours, days, highlighting the one or more that is due."

Also a Dashoard like visualization would be very useful regarding these, such as:

~Past maintances
~Upcoming maintances
~Costs report (average/total) /maintance type
~etc.

I'm sure that Wolf and others would suggest some useful functions as well..

Regards,
Viktor

Re: Maintance/Service recorder

Hi Viktor,

I think the main task would be to be able to add "individual" costs (so customer can add for his account individual type of costs).
so this would be than very flexible and customers could "organize" that very good by themself.

I will ask some larger of our customers about this what could be usefull....

In general we was talking on last partner meeting about that....

Hi Victor and Wolf,
I agree a Maintenance Recorder App will be great.
Many thanks

Dear Gurtam,

It is very important to have a module Cost Management allows not only record all the costs associated with maintenance but to fleet operations generally either fixed or variable, including fuel, tolls, insurance, maintenance, tires, wages, per diem , etc.

For example, in the calculation of fuel consumption, add functions for calculating operating costs in money and which the user becomes aware of what it means fuel use.
Or to be able to automatically calculate the associated costs to transport either to the distribution, freight forwarding and others.

Hi, one of our customers uses the service interval app on the system, they have asked would it be possible to add additional features.

In the UK we have a annual vehicle safety check (MOT) you don't receive reminders through the post or email so it would be a good feature to be able to add the anniversary date, also we have a road fund licence again annually it this could be added along with MOT  it would be a added value app for the customer being able to see these dates for each vehicle.

Is this realy something that should be captured in Wialon? There are a lot of mainainence applications out in the market and it would be fare easier to connect from Wialon to these. This is what we are doing, connecting a content management system to Wialon. This was one of the reasons that i requested a hyperlink capability in Wialon...which by the way also works in the Mobile client.

We are linking all of the procedures, notifications, driver licencing, spare parts lists, costing data etc in the content management system. So things like the MOT requierment is simple to configure in the external application.

My concern is that if we try to do everthing in Wialon, rather than looking at a loose coupling approach, the application becomes way more complex and places an additional burden on the development team.

Things change and so do the requierments from customers and across countries  so we will never have solution that will suite everyone. Having Wialon as the collector of operational metrics and doing what is does best the monitoring of assets and connecting to purpose built solutions for the other stuff in my opinion is the way to go.

Re: Maintance/Service recorder

Now that the Hyperlinking capability is in Wialon, and cascades to the mobile application, it is a lot easier to link to external applications. We are doing this for distribution monitoring where the monitoring forms for the load tracking are in an external application. We have built the maintenance application in the same software and have a link that updates wialon and the application with new units irrespective of which application creates the units. We are doing this also because of the issues we have with reports continually timing out when we try to run them in Wialon. This Report time out needs to be looked at by the developers.
