Ag retailers with multiple locations can manage farm data and assets at the corporate level or at the individual store level within John Deere Operations Center. This provides a scaled system setup for managing large fleets used with PRO Dispatch. Additionally, schedulers, operators, and others may be granted the appropriate access to data needed for their role within the organization. This structure helps to keep the organization running smoothly during the busy season.
Assign and reprioritize daily work orders within the schedule and dispatch feature
Send work to the complete fleet, regardless of equipment brand
Deere Operations Center™ PRO Run app in the machine. When the file is received, the operator is notified that a prescription is attached to the work order. The prescription can then be moved from the mobile device to any supported display via MyTransfer or a USB stick. Raven Slingshot® displays may also accept prescriptions wirelessly from PRO Dispatch. Additionally, prescriptions may be sent directly from supported back-office systems without being manually uploaded to PRO Dispatch. After the prescription is loaded to the display, the operator can record work start and end time in PRO Run. Once work is completed, the as-applied data is stored with the completed work order in the PRO Dispatch system and can be transferred to other back-office systems.
Save time and reduce recording errors by sending work order details directly to the display
For machines equipped with JDLink and a G5 or Generation 4 display, schedulers can send work order details directly from PRO Dispatch to the display. This saves the operator time when arriving at the field and minimizes the potential for operator error recording work. The scheduler simply needs to assign the work order(s) to the specified equipment in the list and select send to transfer it to the equipment. By sending work directly to the display, the operator no longer must manually transfer the work details from the PRO Run mobile app to the display. It now shows up on the display once the machine pulls up to the field boundary. Once data is recorded in the display, it is sent back to PRO Dispatch and the back office system.
Additional benefits in the schedule and dispatch feature:
- See all work orders simultaneously in a list and on a map with field boundaries
- Assign work orders to equipment, including the application
- Optimize the routes for selected equipment
- Improve office efficiency by scheduling with a web-based system that automatically sends work order information to the operator in the field
- Schedule work orders based off product, customer, and location details
- Assign multiple applicators to the same work orders
- React to schedule changes and immediately reroute assets by automatic communication to the field
