Fleet Help

Traditionally, the DCM-300 modem has been the primary device used to communicate vehicle position, sensor data, and other information from a vehicle to the Fleet website. While the DCM-300 modem can still be used with Fleet, FarmStream is the preferred set up for Fleet. FarmStream uses a specially configured TMX-2050, GFX-750, GFX-350, or FmX display, together with a communication device (such as the DCM-300, SNM941, GX450 or RV55 modem) to send operation data from the vehicle to view in Fleet. For information on how to set up a vehicle for Fleet using FarmStream, please refer to this guide.

Note: Firmware Version 10.01 or higher is required for the FmX and Version 4.3.1 or higher is required for the TMX to run FarmStream. Version 1.5 or higher is required for the GFX-750 to have full FarmStream functionality. (Limited FarmStream functionality is available for earlier versions of GFX-750 firmware.) Any version of firmware for the GFX-350 supports FarmStream.

Depending on whether you set up a vehicle the traditional way with a DCM-300 modem or with FarmStream, different features for that vehicle are viewable in the Fleet website. Please refer to this chart to compare the features available for a vehicle with the traditional set up and FarmStream set up.

No matter how you choose to set up a vehicle, the vehicle data is available in the same Fleet user interface and is accessible from the same user login. Different vehicles in the same organization can be set up using either traditional or FarmStream equipment, if desired. The way to tell which version of Fleet a vehicle is using is by going to the Vehicles page and selecting a vehicle. If a vehicle is using the traditional set up, it will say “FarmStream Off”, and if a vehicle is using the FarmStream setup it will say “FarmStream On”.  See below image that illustrates this:

The Fleet website allows you to manage mixed fleets to help improve operator performance and overall efficiency. You can:

• View and download fleet positions overlaid on background imagery.
• Identify the current and historical status of vehicles such as moving, working, stopped, or off.
• Manage alerts.
• Monitor vehicle engine hours.

Use the Fleet website to analyze the performance of your vehicles by connecting to their CAN bus system. Information gathered can be used to enhance productivity, efficiency, and swift decision-making. You can:

• Manage fuel usage, battery voltage, oil pressure, and other valuable diagnostics. (Available sensors depends on the Fleet set up and the data reported from the vehicle.)
• Monitor vehicle health and performance.
• Capture time spent moving, working, stopped, or off and show delay reason.
• Collect vehicle sensor data over a period of time and display the accumulated data in a graph.

See also Creating Delay thresholds.

Customers must have the Farmer Fit, Core, or Pro license for their organization and a Display Connection license for their device in order to use most of the Fleet features described in this document. Customers using Farmer Starter will see only a limited feature set.

This screen is configurable so that you can choose which information to display about your vehicles – the following information can be displayed:

   The Calibrate Engine Hours screen appears:
   
   The screen shows the Current Engine Hours. This value establishes a baseline for engine hours as measured from the alternator’s R-terminal. Engine hours taken directly from the CAN bus require no adjustment. If the hours are negative or otherwise incorrect (which may occur, for example, if the telematics device is moved from one machine to another), you can enter the correct value to re-calibrate the system.
2. Enter the correct value, if required, and then click Save. If the value is correct, click Cancel.

Any update will take effect the next time the vehicle reports to the Trimble Ag Software solution.

To access this feature first locate the Fleet section on the top bar of your organization’s site once you’ve logged in. Hover over this to see a drop down menu and select “Fleet Map” from the list.

Once selecting this you will be directed to the following screen displaying an “Asset List” that details all of your vehicles, a map showing all of your fields grouped into numbers based on site location, and a Field Task List that projects the task history associated with your organization. From this screen you may narrow your search by selecting a specific vehicle or field.

By clicking on individual tasks your sitemap will produce a zoomed in glimpse of that project.

You will also have the option to view further information by selecting “Details” in the upper right corner of the individual tasks.

Within the “Details” window you will see a summary of the task specifics. You can toggle through to view map layers based on speed, area, elevation, guidance mode, and other data relevant to the task performed.

By clicking on “Inputs” within the “Details” window, you will be able to look at the asset totals used.

If you would like to modify a task, selecting “Edit” within the “Details” window will allow you to change a variety of different attributes of the task including adding operators, vehicles, implements, and materials.

Editing operator details

1. In the list of operators, click the edit symbol next to the operator you want to view or edit.
2. Change any fields, as required and then click Save.

Operators can be imported from a .csv or .xls file, or from an existing organization. The following is an example of a .csv or .xls file import:

• Operators are added to the Operator list or Group specified if the Login ID, Last Name, and First Name fields are specified and the Login ID does not already exist. If any row fails to import, the import will continue with the next row.
• The check for Login ID duplication is not case sensitive (that is, the system will not create JSmith1 if jsmith1 already exists).
• You must create groups in the user interface before you import operators.
  • If the Group does not exist the operator is not imported and the row fails.
  • If no Group is specified in the .csv file, the operator is created and added to the Unassigned list.
  • Group is a match if it contains the same characters, regardless of case (that is, GroupA or groupa).
• Job Title is added for each job title in the file and depends on the number of characters. It is a match if it contains the same characters, regardless of case (for example, Foreman or foreman).

An Import report is created that includes the following:

• Any rows that did not import due to insufficient or duplicate data.
• The number of successful logins created.
• The groups that could not be found during the import.

To import operators from a .csv or .xls file:

1. In the Operators tab, select Import Operators from the Manage drop-down list.
