Description of Routes

Routes enables users to efficiently and effectively perform lubricant analysis on a scheduled basis.  

  • Route administration –easy setup and management of assets to schedule for sampling

  • Route Execution - requires no change to your current sampling process to leverage routes.

    • Work Orders automatically progress through their lifecycle, with no additional steps to manage during the sampling process

      • Once your sample is registered (via Scan & Go or at the laboratory) the work status will automatically change to “Completed”.   When the sample results are ‘Reported’ the status will automatically change to “Closed”

    • Flexible options:  scan and go, My Work tile, email template, or a printed route.

  • Route Compliance – accurate monitoring of program success via compliance reporting

Scheduled

Work Orders are created and marked as “Open” until the “Start” time has passed. After that time it is considered “Due”. Work Orders can be edited to be due at any time in the future or on the same day.

Reoccurring

Hourly: Work Orders can be created and scheduled on an hourly basis. Selecting The number of occurrences can be determined by a fixed number, date or be infinite.

Daily: Work Orders can be created and scheduled on a daily basis. Reoccurring from due date creates the next work order at the same time the next day. The number of occurrences can be determined by a fixed number, date or be infinite.

Weekly: Work Orders can be created and scheduled on a weekly basis. Reoccurring from due date creates the next work order for the same time the next week. It can also occur on the same day of the week. The number of occurrences can be determined by a fixed number, date or be infinite.

Monthly: Work Orders can be created and scheduled on a monthly basis. Reoccurring from due date creates the next work order at the same time the next month. It can also occur the same day of the week. The number of occurrences can be determined by a fixed number, date or be infinite. 

Yearly: Work Orders can be created and scheduled on a yearly basis. Reoccurring from due date creates the next work order at the same time the next year. The number of occurrences can be determined by a fixed number, date or be infinite.

Hide Until Next Occurrence: Hides the route from the calendar until its start date and time have passed. 

Cancel open work orders on next occurrence. Cancels the previous Work Order if it was not completed upon creation of the next Work Order. Otherwise, the incomplete work will remain as due on the asset. 

Add Assets

Searching

Assets can be searched for using either a quick search or advanced search. The Assets selector will allow the user to select a parent, a parent and children, one asset individually, etc. User can ADD ALL or Remove Selected or simply remove one asset from the list on the left. When assets are added they will appear in the Assigned Assets column on the left. The search bar at the top of the assigned assets allows the user to ensure that particular assets are added.

Sorting

Workflows can be sorted by dragging and dropping into the correct sequence. Also, by adjusting the number found at the right side of the asset. This sequence is adjusted when the Apply Sort Changes button is selected. The sort order is used to determine the sequence of work orders sorted by "Sequence" on the Routes Dashboard.

Additional workflows can be added to an asset's Work Order by selecting the plus sign next to the Asset.
