Real-time view into your battery room from your office

The Operations Display is the latest iBOS add-on product and lets you see what is happening in your battery room right now. The Operations Display is a dedicated, touch-screen computer that provides you with up to the minute alerts and actions in addition to the current status of your battery room.

This optional add-on display can be mounted remotely in a supervisor’s office or an operations center. It can also be mounted in the battery room itself, if more operational information is needed in that area.

The Operations Display utilizes an all-in-one touch-screen computer,  that communicates directly with the iBOS System Controller to provide multiple views on the operational status of the battery room. 

The easy-to-see screen is divided into four quadrants:

Quadrant 1:

Status Quadrant displays…

  • Displays status of charger pools and location of next available battery.
  • The total available charged batteries in queue
  • The status of each pool’s active chargers
  • Chargers connected but not charging
  • Chargers with no battery connected
  • Chargers with batteries in quarantine that need further attention
  • Chargers with unknown status

Quadrant 2:

Graphs Quadrant displays…

  • Displays a 7-Day graph of the minimum batteries available.
  • Shows in a glance if the battery room has run out of batteries in the past week in any pool.

Quadrant 3:

Action Quadrant displays…

  • What tasks need to be performed immediately to maintain operation efficiency (e.g., determining why a particular charger and battery pair has been quarantined)
  • If Charger-Splitter is in use, the screen indicates when to switch charger to another battery.

Quadrant 4:

Alert Quadrant displays….

  • The data and exact time of an alert and the charger involved.  Alerts include:
    • Mispicks
    • On-Charge Mispicks
    • Charger no-starts
    • Low Battery connect voltages
    • and more

By simply touching the screen, the view within each quadrant can be changed to provide more filtered views or maximized to a single quadrant view (full screen).  The screen below is shown in max view for Status Quadrant 1 and provides a large view of next available battery.
