Each Slingshot® Gold-exclusive feature changes the way you collaborate, allocate resources, and lead your operation more effectively. Here’s how each tool in your Slingshot® Gold toolkit helps you accomplish 20% more:
Job Sync: Share your jobs. Eliminate Guesswork.
As an applicator, nothing’s more frustrating than trying to figure out where to begin operating after an interruption, or — if there are multiple machines in the field — trying to guess where the other guy is spraying or chiseling. Job Sync, a Slingshot® Gold exclusive feature, solves both issues with live machine-to-machine communication.
Job Sync eliminates overlap and inaccurate application after interruptions by logging real-time work updates that are accessible whether you’re in the cab or in the office (via Live Web View). Its machine-to-machine communication capabilities allow you to deploy two or more machines of any color in perfect concert, giving you more labor management options and empowering your fleet to cover more in one day. Get more done with your existing fleet by upgrading to Slingshot® Gold.
Fleet Analytics: Track Application Data, Seamlessly.
When you’re in the field, every minute counts. Inefficient machines and processes are inexcusable when you have limited labor available for a limited time. As the old adage says, “time is money” — make sure you’re not wasting it with Slingshot® Fleet Analytics.
This robust reporting tool provides insight on an operation’s entire fleet and system. Analyze your Slingshot work orders and report back on data such as acres covered or machine usage. In addition, notifications alert users on system events tied to any Raven hardware connected to the machine. The alerts are completely customizable by user type, criticality, location, and system. Fleet Analytics gives you:
- Complete visibility of your operation.
- Seamless information on all your machines in one place.
- Detailed equipment data to help extend your machine’s application life.
If inefficient machines and processes are hurting your bottom line, use Slingshot Fleet Analytics to find out how you can:
Be proactive with in-depth machine information.
- Review machine data – application time, acres, transit time, idle time.
- Prevent problems before they arise.
- Compare machine to machine information.
- Consider employee factors such as fatigue and workload.
- Reallocate most efficient equipment and applicator to top of the list.
Be more efficient with your application time.
- Review machine idle and application time.
- If your idle time is high, consider pairing with additional tender deliveries to reduce wait times.
Machine View: Data-Driven Efficiencies at your Fingertips
A smooth application comes to a sudden stop when a machine runs out of fuel, product, or DEF — delaying the job and potentially derailing your entire day’s schedule. This makes it more difficult to track accurate machine hours, impacting your equipment decisions.
Machine View prevents this incident from happening in the first place. With real-time updates on machine hours, DEF, fuel, and product levels, a quick look at the data gives you the information and insights you need to optimize your fleet. Now, you’re able to prepare a second machine to take over or supply more product when levels are low. You’re also able to see exactly where each machine is in real time — keeping you and your customers in the loop on application progress. This live, at-your-fingertips view of your operation gives you the tools to make decisions that drive real efficiencies.
