Associate objects with a truck
During dispatch preparation, add the relevant parts or assemblies to the truck, manually or through label scanning according to the chosen workflow. Review the contents before departure.
Identify the transport
Use clear transport information such as vehicle registration, carrier, departure date and site destination where available. This helps teams recognize the correct load and distinguish different deliveries.
Read the truck status
The workflow can distinguish loading, loaded, in transit and arrived on site. These recorded stages describe progress through the transport process.
Follow the delivery
Consult which objects are associated with the truck and the recorded delivery status. Use this information to coordinate the workshop and site around the expected contents.
Confirm the objects received
When the truck arrives, scan the delivered objects and confirm receiving. This checks the load against what actually reached the site, especially for partial deliveries.
Make handovers clearer
Linking objects to their transport gives teams a common reference when preparing dispatch, reviewing a delivery or investigating a missing part.
Good practice
Identify each transport clearly, scan objects during loading and receiving, and keep the truck contents consistent with the physical load. Update the relevant workflow stage when the operation is confirmed.
Connect the truck record to its contents
A useful truck record links a delivery to the assemblies it carries. Follow that link through arrival and object receiving to maintain continuity between workshop and site.
Frequently asked questions
Why associate objects with a truck?
It identifies the assemblies included in a transport and helps teams prepare and review the delivery.
How can parts be added?
They can be associated manually or through label scanning, according to the process used for the project.
Does tracking the truck replace site receiving?
No. The truck record follows the transport, while receiving confirms which objects actually arrived.
