Geographic Fences and Time Fences
During normal working conditions, machines can move in and out of yards. Machines can also move to different job sites. A machine will not normally travel beyond a designated work area. The EquipmentManager software will record the location of a machine as history, unless the machine travels beyond the normal work area. The EquipmentManager software uses the following features in order to track the machines:Inclusive Geographic Fencing and Exclusive Geographic Fencing - The ability to be alerted when one of your machines is either inside or outside of a particular geographical areaTime Fencing - The ability to be alerted when one of your machines is operating either outside or inside of a designated time of the dayIn the "Administration" section of EquipmentManager you use Asset Watch in order to set up the fences that can be applied to individual machines or to groups of machines. Refer to the Systems Operation, "Time Fence and Geographic Fence" for detailed descriptions.Inclusive and Exclusive Descriptions
Inclusive and exclusive descriptions are descriptions of the geographical areas that make up the geographic fences. You can create as many descriptions as desired. Creating and storing these descriptions in advance, so that you can apply them to your equipment when needed, will save you time.When creating the descriptions, inclusive and exclusive are the same. When assigning a machine to a geographic fence, you must choose whether the fence is inclusive or exclusive. Note: The information in the Systems Operation, "Time Fence and Geographic Fence" describes some practical scenarios where previously created geographic and time fences can be assigned to machines. In this module, you will focus on creating these descriptions.Add Descriptions
