Adding location data to Advanced Engine Status Report

Hello guys,

 

we are using ignition on/off data from the Advanced Engine Status Report for calculations of engine hours per each day. The column/header support document does state that location data is not available for this type of report. How can we somehow get this data instead of downloading trips report separately. The customer would like a unified report which she is currently getting from the competitor's platform:

  • asset
  • date
  • engine hours per day
  • first location of the day
  • last location of the day

 

Thank you for insights!

Hey @Matej-1036​ ,

 

I just wanted to tag in a couple community members who are good with reports and may be able to share something they know about this @TonyFC-1053​  and @ssartor-1546​ 

 

I know as we talked earlier you were going to make a support case. If you learn anything from there will you share it with us here as well?

 

Have a good one!

@Matej-1036​  Would the Time Card report work for this use case? If you add the Trip Duration and Idle Duration column together it should be almost the same as the engine hours.

I think you should be able to get this data using an exceptions report. You would need to build ignition on/off rules, but then an exception detail report should have the location when the ignition status changes.

This information can be obtained through an exceptions report. It would only be necessary to configure the ignition on/off rules and generate the detailed exceptions report, where the location associated with each ignition status change can be viewed.

Dear all,,

 

thank you very much. The exceptions report should do the trick, I'll definitely try it. If I understand it correctly you do not need to set up an ignition off rule but just a ignition on rule then summarize all exception durations and associated exception detail location.

 

Best,

Matej
