Site to site allocation

The idle loader at Sector 3 should be at Sector 1 by tomorrow morning.

Visibility that ends at a single site is where rented capacity leaks in. The board sees every site at once, and suggests moves before the invoice for extra rental arrives.

How idle is defined

Idle is not the same as parked.

01
Zero hour signal

A unit that has logged less than a threshold of running hours across the last shift or working day.

02
Not in service window

A unit that is not currently in a scheduled service window - it is available, not being worked on.

03
Adjacent short site

A neighbouring site is behind schedule on a task this unit type can perform.

04
Reasonable move cost

The move can be done inside the operating day without disrupting a critical task.

Worked example

One reallocation, three constraints.

Info
Board proposes the move at 04:20 pm. Site supervisor at Sector 1 accepts. LD-07 arrives before shift start.
Why this suggestion, not another

Cheaper than rental. Safer than overrun.

The board could have suggested an excavator swap or a compactor return instead. It did not, because LD-07 was the only idle unit that matched Sector 1 aggregate handling, was not in a service window, and could reach the site before the next shift.

Type match to open task
Outside service window
Move cost fits the operating day
Prevents likely rental overrun the next morning
Guardrails

What the board will never do on its own.

Auto move on its own

The board suggests. The site supervisor and the fleet manager sign off. Nothing moves without a human accept.

Move a unit under service

A unit inside a predicted or active service window is excluded from allocation until service is cleared.

Ignore active tasks

A unit currently on a critical path task is not proposed for relocation, even if it looks idle for a moment.
