Murray Blender Integration

This new Integration partner will now allow clients working with a Murray Blender system to have their Work Order jobs setup and configured to later send over to this blender type and pass all associated job details and product values. To enable this integration, user will need to establish a new Blender asset type under the appropriate location. 

From the asset configuration feature in the Assets module the user can elect to create a new POI type asset. Within the POI asset list, options will exist for both “Blender - Dry” and “Blender - Liquid” for the user to choose. At this time, the user will also provide a Display Name for the asset which will later show in the available select/pick list in the local job order.

With the asset created the user will next select the Manufacturer. Within this list are options for all connected Blender types (Murray, Kahler, Ranco, Other). Lastly, the user will define the specific lat/lon location for the Blender asset that later can assist in mapping and scheduling purposes.

With the known Murray Blender asset(s) setup in the system, users can then proceed to create and define any needed Fertilizer job types into their work order system.

Once needed jobs have been established, users will proceed to the Operations Module to handle the organization, dispatch, and execution of the jobs. It’s at this step that the blender configuration and association to the job(s) can be set.

From the Operations Page:

•        Use the existing tools and filters to identify all common fertilizer jobs and set your Dispatch list. 
•        Once the job list has been set, select the “Assign/Edit” button next to the “Asset” header.
•        Next, select the desired Murray Blender asset from your available asset list and then select the “Save” option to finalize the assignment and creation of the Dispatch.

Configuring the Dispatch:

•        Once the “Save” button has been selected, the system will pop open the “Dispatch Options” modal.
•        Select the “Blender Configuration” option found under “Job Options”
  •    Confirm the “Blender ID” on this step and also set the “Needs Blended” flag for instances requiring such

Blender Configuration Window:

Upon selecting the “Submit” button, the system will then provide an alert notice to the users showing that the submitted job details have been sent off to Murray.

Dispensed Totals and updates will then be received back from Murray as the job is executed on their side. These values are then stored locally to the job history on the FieldAlytics side.

Ability to Send Delivery Tickets to Murray and Kahler Blenders

Users working with Delivery Tickets will now be able to ensure products defined within the job setup can be sent to their connected Blenders if the job identified requires blending.

The job creation and setup process is unchanged. This will require the user to set whether the job is for Pickup or Delivery as well as identify the needed products and quantities.

Once the product information and remaining details have been defined, the user can progress the job in the Accepted status level. At this point, the user working with the Delivery Ticket can assign it out to an associated connected blender via dispatch list options. Identical to how Chemical and Fertilizer work orders are sent to connected blenders. 

Blender Assignment within Delivery Ticket Job:

For jobs set up as “Delivery Tickets”, there will be no Analysis information sent within the blender request. Likewise, no Dispensed Summary information is returned.
