What are Conditional Rates?
Conditional rates are the ability to predefine an adjustment range at the time of Mixing to a product on a work order. A condition can be pretty much anything you can quatify with a numeric value.
How do I create them? Examples:
Example 1: Wind Speed
** NOTE ** Default Value is 0 so it is obvious if it doesn't get filled out
** NOTE ** Apply to Every Mix is on because we want to record this information no matter if a product needs it or not
Product - Guardian Drift Control
Condition Selection appears after Add Conditional Rate has be pressed to show multiple Condition Value/Product Rate lines
Default Condition Value - This is the initial value loaded when the work order is selected to Mix
Condition Value/Product Rate lines - The Mixmate uses these data points to interpolate the rate value with the associated condition value
- The left column is the condition value for this data point
- The right column is the associated rate for that condition value
Rate - The units of the product rate
** Basic Explanation of the Data Points ** From 0-4.99 MPH wind speed we don't want any drift control. Starting at 5 MPH we want 0.5 Quarts/100 gallons added and progressively add more until we reach the maximum rate at 15 MPH of 3.3 Quarts/100 gallons.
Example 2: Directly Enter Desired Rate within a range
** NOTE ** Condition Name identifies with product and the units of measure match the rate to be used in the work order for the product.
Product - Abundant Edge
Condition - Roundup Rate
Default Condition Value - Most commonly used rate to initialize the Mix with
Condition Value/Product Rate lines - The Mixmate uses these data points to interpolate the rate value with the associated condition value
- The left column is the condition value for this data point
- The right column is the associated rate for that condition value
Rate - The units of the product rate
** Basic Explanation of the Data Points ** In this Scenario, our range is from 16 to 64 fluid ounces/acre and will most commonly use 32.
Example 3: Include/Don't Include Product. I.E. add insecticide
** NOTE ** Condition Units of Measure show to the user during Mix Setup process
Product - Insecticide
Condition - Got Bugs?
Default Condition Value - Most commonly used rate to initialize the Mix with
Condition Value/Product Rate lines - The Mixmate uses these data points to interpolate the rate value with the associated condition value
- The left column is the condition value for this data point
- The right column is the associated rate for that condition value
Rate - The units of the product rate
** Basic Explanation of the Data Points ** We either don't want to include any insecticide or we want to apply it at 3 fluid ounces/acre
