If you hold the budget
Producer
A named team on a named gate, with a screen that proves they are there and what they are dealing with. You stop arguing about whether Gate 3 was busy.

The shared screen that rides with the team
Live location, the job queue for this gate, voice, and the map. One tablet the whole crew looks at, not five phones with five versions of the truth.
Live location
This zone’s jobs
Voice on the mesh
Tablet first
If you run the night
Event manager
The tablet in the cab or on the trestle table is the crew’s picture. Big type. Gloves. The queue they can see on the Sense Node, not a laptop in the room.
What the hardware puts on this screen
The Vision or Sense Node on that gate, plus the team’s location. Queue time and occupancy for this zone only. Not the whole site, unless they ask.
Who it is for: Shared tablet at a gate, in a vehicle, or on a desk in a compound. Optimised for Tablets and desktop.

What it actually does
Where this team is
Continuous location so Command and the Board can see the vehicle or the gate crew without calling them up.
The queue for this zone
Jobs that belong here, with the live number that created them. Open, on the way, done.
Voice without a spare radio
Push-to-talk on the same screen, logged. Useful when the radio net is already full.
A map that matches the site plan
This gate, the next one, the medical point. Directions if the team is in a vehicle.
One view for the whole crew
Staffing and roles for this unit, visible to Allocate. Nobody is a mystery name on a whiteboard.
Runs on what you already mount
Tablet in a ram mount, desktop in the compound, or a browser on a spare laptop. Docker if you host it.
A job, from number to done
- 01
Mount it
Tablet on the gate, in the vehicle, or on the compound desk. Big targets. Readable in sun.
- 02
The zone gets a job
Allocate sends work to this unit because the node said the queue is building. The crew sees it together.
- 03
They clear it
Status updates once. Command, Board and Crew phones all move. No second radio call.
What we will ask before we put this on your site
Plain questions. The answers change which app we mount, and where.
We will ask
Which gates or vehicles get a shared screen, and which only get phones?
Zone is for a team. Crew is for a person. Mixing them up is how the tablet becomes wallpaper.
We will ask
Is there power and a mount, or is this a hatchback with a battery pack?
That decides tablet versus phone, not the software.
Straight answers
Is this AVL for fire trucks?
No. It is a shared screen for a named team at a named place: a gate, a vehicle, a compound. Location is there so the room can see them. The useful part is the job queue for that place.
Can it run without installing an app store build?
Yes. Browser, desktop, or Docker on your own box. Native iOS and Android if you want them on a managed tablet.
Walk Zone on your site plan
Tell us who is in the room and which gates get a tablet. We will not invent a fifth radio channel.
