Technician Productivity Enhancement
Technology
Having a technician “tied” to a machine during its entire
service cycle is an inefficient use of shop manpower.
Similarly, equipment that sits idle once a service is complete
or when it needs attention during a service due to the
occurrence of a fault condition is inefficient as well. RTI
provides the solution by offering TechALERT
®
, an exclusive
patent-pending wireless communication tool designed to
enhance shop productivity.
TechALERT
®
sends a wireless signal to a remote carried by
a technician and provides operation and completion status
with visual, audible and vibration alerts so that equipment
can be attended to in a timely manner. Up to four (4) distinct
RTI TechALERT
®
compatible machines can be monitored
simultaneously by one TechALERT
®
remote.
Once a TechALERT
®
remote is synchronized to a base unit,
the remote will receive signals from the equipment to
indicate the status of the cycle. The remote will indicate
when the equipment is in a normal running mode, a fault
condition is present, or the cycle is complete. A paging
function is also included to notify a technician or to locate a
lost remote.
