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.

Send work to the complete fleet, regardless of equipment brand

Dispatchers can use the web platform to assign work orders to applicator operators who use the John Deere Operations Center™ PRO Run mobile app. The PRO Run tablet app allows operators to wirelessly receive work orders in the cab, regardless of the equipment brand. Work orders may include attachments such as prescriptions or product labels to help operators complete the job. Once work is completed, the operator can send details about 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 PRO Dispatch web application:

• See all work orders simultaneously in a list and on a map with field boundaries
• Assign work orders to equipment and link tender
• Optimize the routes for selected equipment and tenders
• Improve office efficiency by scheduling with a web-based system that automatically sends work order information to the applicator in the field and tender truck drivers
• 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

NOTE: Multiple tender trucks may be linked to one applicator machine’s schedule but only one applicator machine may be linked to a tender truck at this time.

Save time with fewer phone calls between schedulers, operators and tender truck drivers. Schedulers can use the John Deere Operations Center™ PRO Dispatch web application to view the current location of assets. The GPS position is updated in near real time, providing the scheduler with valuable machine and truck location and status.

• View the entire organization’s area and fleet on one map view
• Make more informed scheduling and routing decisions with a simple visual representation of operational activities to optimize equipment usage and time
• Use map tools like filters and the lasso tool to show specific machines and work orders
• Protect against disputes by confirming the location of completed work orders
• Customize completed work order tickets with more than 60 different conditions that managers may require applicators to document

Improve machine operator and tender truck driver efficiency:

• Send turn-by-turn directions to any field or facility associated with the work order
• Pin the entry point of each field for more accurate driving directions
• Remotely view operator location and status from PRO Dispatch to plan additional work
