Deswik.OPS – Operator App extends Deswik.OPS beyond the control room, by making the integrated shift schedule of work available to operators in the field and by allowing operators to provide feedback on their work tasks directly from the field, rather than on paper or by radio calls. The Operator App provides a digital software interface for work management on and off-machine, with a view on complete operational shift plans rather than just primary fleet management. The Deswik.OPS Operator App is specifically designed to make the operator’s job easier by: • Enabling the easy capture of production data • Keeping up-to-date with a live shift plan displayed by location, operator or equipment • Checking the status of equipment on the dashboard and easily drilling down into it for more information • Getting location information from the location dashboard with plans, location history and notes included • Exploring the status of locations, equipment and planned tasks with the interactive map
