Plan the day
Equipment Moves
Machine, truck, float, driver and the time it must be ready at the next job.
Plan the day
Equipment
Know which machines can run tomorrow and which job each one is on. Equipment keeps every machine by unit number, with its operational availability. The dispatcher assigns machines to projects on the daily board and plans a move when a machine changes jobs. Operations sees how many pieces are on jobs.
Problems solved
Where the day breaks down.
Which roller is where?
The yard sheet says one thing and the foreman says another. The dispatcher spends the afternoon on the phone.
A machine is planned but can't run
A roller is down for repairs, but nobody took it off the plan. The crew finds out when they need it.
Tomorrow needs today's machine
The paver finishes one job in the evening and has to start another at 7:00 AM. Somebody has to plan the gap.
What it does
What Equipment does.
In plain terms. Your version of STRACTA is shaped around how your team works, so bring your own workflow to the demo.
Every machine by unit number
Pavers, rollers, skid steers, excavators, graders and loaders in one list, by unit number and type.
Operational availability
Mark whether each machine is available to work, so the plan is built around equipment that can actually run.
Machines on the dispatch
Assign machines to a project card for the day. The board and the foreman's My Day show the same units.
Moves when jobs change
When a machine has to change jobs, schedule an equipment move with its truck, trailer, driver and destination availability time.

FAQ
Questions about Equipment.
How is a machine's availability kept up to date?
Your team marks whether each machine is available to work, for example when a roller goes in for repairs. The dispatcher sees it before planning the next day.
Can I see which job every machine is on today?
Yes. The published dispatch shows each machine on its project card, and the overview counts the equipment on jobs.
Where do trailers and attachments go?
In Trailers and Attachments, so a float or a broom is a record of its own rather than a note on a machine.
