Catch generators due for an oil change before hours pile up

Every morning, WebRun opens FieldServio, checks each monitored unit's run hours and last oil change date, flags any generator within 25 hours or 30 days of its interval, logs the due list to Google Sheets, and alerts dispatch on Slack so the oil change gets scheduled before the engine runs past interval.

In short

How do I track when a standby generator is due for an oil change based on run hours?

WebRun checks each monitored generator's run hours against its oil change interval in FieldServio every morning, flags any unit within 25 hours or 30 days of its limit, logs the due list to Google Sheets, and alerts dispatch in Slack with overdue units marked first. Oil changes get scheduled before an interval is crossed instead of after a technician notices on the next visit.

  • Oil changes get scheduled before a run-hour or calendar interval is crossed
  • Dispatch sees overdue units flagged first instead of scanning FieldServio manually
  • Units that ran hard during an outage get caught between regular visits

Questions, answered

Does it book the oil change appointment automatically?

No. WebRun only builds the due list and alerts dispatch in Slack. A person on your team schedules the actual visit, so nothing gets booked without your dispatcher deciding.

How does it track the interval if generators run on different schedules?

It compares each unit's live run hours in FieldServio against the manufacturer's interval, typically 100 to 200 hours or annually, whichever comes first, so a unit that ran hard during an outage gets flagged even between scheduled visits.

What happens if a unit has already gone past its interval?

It is flagged in red at the top of the Slack alert, so dispatch schedules the most overdue units first instead of working the list in order.
