The People Side of the Fleet

Machines do not run themselves. SolidTrack keeps teams, shifts, attendance, inspections and field incidents in the same system as the equipment. Where a team assigns an operator and a shift in advance, that context becomes part of the machine's record.

Where the record breaks

Telemetry explains the machine. It does not explain the shift.

Telemetry can show that a breaker recorded eleven hours and that its impact patterns changed after lunch. It cannot identify the operator or the shift on its own. That context comes from the assignment your team makes in advance, alongside the inspection and incident records the crew enters.

  • Shift handovers that live in a supervisor's phone
  • Pre-shift checks signed on paper, filed and never read again
  • Damage reported days after it happened, without photos
  • No assigned operator or shift context when something needs review

What field operations covers

Six connected areas, all writing to the same asset and site records the rest of the platform already uses.

Team and shift management, on-site attendance, photo-recorded inspections and Field Incidents are part of the Operations package.

Personnel roster

Keep each operator's role, site and assigned equipment visible, so dispatch and the workshop work from the same roster.

Shift board

Set up shifts by site, then assign the team, the equipment and the working days each shift covers.

Pre-shift inspections

Checklists completed on the phone before work starts, with photos attached to the asset record.

Field incidents

Damage and near-misses reported from the field with photographs, each carrying a severity and its follow-up.

Field attendance

Check-in and check-out at the site, by GPS proximity or by scanning the site QR code.

Equipment documents

Manuals, service guides and site paperwork attached to the machine they belong to.

Shifts & crews

Who is on site, on which machine, today

Build shifts by site with their working days, then assign the equipment and the crew in advance. When a supervisor reviews why an asset sat idle on Tuesday, the board shows what was planned and who was rostered, instead of sending everyone back to a group chat.

  • Operator, machine and shift on one record, where the assignment was made
  • Photos captured at the moment, not reconstructed later
  • Inspection history that survives staff turnover

From the field

Checks and incidents are captured where they happen

Operators complete pre-shift checks and report incidents on the phone they already carry, with photographs. The entries join the equipment record, so the workshop can review a field finding without waiting for the next service visit.

Photos on the record

A cracked hose photographed at 07:40 is attached to that asset, not described from memory a week later.

Missed checks surface as alerts

A missed-inspection alert brings an overdue checklist to the team's attention instead of letting it pass quietly.

Attendance without paperwork

Crews check in by GPS proximity to the site or by scanning the site QR code, and the entry joins that site's attendance record.

Documents

The paperwork lives with the machine

Operator manuals, service guides and safety checklists sit on the asset record, so a technician standing at the machine can open the right document instead of calling the office for it.

They also outlive the person who filed them, which is the quiet reason this matters: a manual on somebody's desktop leaves when they do, and a manual on the asset does not.
