Out-of-Service Operator Experience
When out of service is enabled on a category in which a machine belongs, the operation of the SmarTrack changes and the system becomes more interactive with the operator.
Out-of-service tagging allows the selection of planned and unplanned events, with tag activation and removal available on the machine as well as via the SmarTrack web site. Up to eight planned and eight unplanned reasons can be applied to each category of machine.
Planned
A planned out of service is an event that is scheduled to occur. An example of a planned reason would be the scheduled maintenance of the truck or a scheduled tyre change for the truck.
Unplanned
An unplanned out of service tag would be applied when a machine fault occurs. A breakdown could occur and an operator may tag the machine out of service, or there was a critical failure detected during the pre-start check. Another event that can create an unplanned tag would be a critical impact to the machine.
