Generate the report
Sign in to Trackunit Manager
Select the Reports app in the left side menu
In the Reports screen, click on the Exception Report
Select a Date Range by creating custom range or selecting one of the predefined options
Choose if you want to Filter By groups, clients, zones, or machines
Zoom in on the particular groups/clients/zones/machine you want to include in the report. Choose from the dropdown menu. For machines, you can also use the search to find a specific name, brand, type and/or model
What you do next depends on whether you’re looking to:
detect any weekend activity
detect weekday usage above x hours a day
detect weekday usage outside of working hours
exclude trivial usage in all cases
detect machines not in use
Detect any weekend activity
In Days of interest select Only weekend
In Activity of interest select Any activity
Click Generate report
This will show you all assets that were operating during weekends and the sum of those operating hours in the time interval selected.
Detect weekday usage above x hours a day
In Days of interest select Only weekdays
In Activity of interest select More than baseline
In Activity baseline select the expected number of working hours
Click Generate report
This will show you all assets that were operating more than x hours a day during weekdays.
Determine weekday usage outside working hours
In Days of interest select All days
In Activity of interest select Any activity
In Hours of interest select Outside working hours
Select Start and End hours of your working day
Click Generate report
This will show you assets that worked outside of the work day hours agreed upon.
Exclude trivial usage in all cases
Select your Days of interest
Select your Activity of interest
Choose expected number of minutes grace period
This will exclude assets with less than the indicated grace period activity. This way you can exclude scenarios of trivial usage, such as 10 mins spent for parking or any other activity that would not be considered as intentional overuse or breach of contract.
Detect machines not in use
In Days of interest select All days
In Activity of interest select Less than baseline
Select the least amount of working hours that would indicate meaningful usage
Click Generate report
This will show machines that worked less than a meaningful amount of hours that would qualify the machine to be used enough. For example, the reports could show the machines that worked less than 4 hours a day or did not work at all.
Use this report to identify machines that are standing still, or are barely being used, and relocate them to a site where they are needed. This way you can optimize the usage of your whole fleet and your customers do not have to pay for machines they do not use.
