[QUOTE="Needabiggerhammer, post: 4272568, member: 76664"] Yes it's an automated hub, we've had the PDA's since last winter, probably february or march. They're a pain in the ass. Before that we were getting paper dispatches daily. I'm not sure how much my experience will relate to yours if you're in a conventional building considering we have probably 2 breakdowns a month and that's considered good. I run probably 15-20 sort calls in a night for twilight/midnight. We probably have at least 10 major repairs that need to be completed every month and I couldn't even count the minor ones. That's a building that's calculated to require 13 mechanics. They just don't build the automated buildings the way they built conventional buildings, unfortunately. But everything runs much faster and that doesn't help...most of our belts run around 500 feet per minute. I haven't seen much more pressure on us as far as repair times than before the PDAs, I'd say it's about the same. They are much more easily able to track what you're doing though I think. The PDA is basically a way to make you enter all the information into the system that they had to delog from our time cards and enter manually before from what I've seen. You can also create your own work orders on the PDA for sort calls or emergency maintenance and it gives it a work order number like you'd have on a dispatch, create follow up work orders for your PMI's, etc. It's a great tool to help you do what your part time sups used to do...
