Installer

in planeus, an installer is a special type of parallel resources docid 5e4pjd vvyxlpkic3oha used for setup or preparation work that happens at the same time as a production step when you mark a resource as an installer its task will start together with the main work step, but end after a certain duration planeus makes sure both the main task and the installer are available at the same time before scheduling use cases for installers the installer feature is especially helpful in industries where partial manual setup or short manned operations are critical for an otherwise automated process, such as pharmaceutical manufacturing certified specialists need to set up, load, or verify equipment before each production cnc & highly automated industries qualified engineers are required to setup the machine or switch tools before a long, automated operation qualified technicians are required to calibrate machines or robotics systems before starting high precision tasks food processing operators may need to clean and prepare equipment between batches to meet hygiene standards aerospace production specialized engineers might configure or inspect machinery before a critical manufacturing step rules for moving installers in the gantt chart if you move a work step with an installer and it partially overlaps unavailable time planeus suggests alternative resources, if possible if there’s no alternative or availability, planeus might shorten the installer’s time to fit the new schedule if you switch the resource for an installer in the detail panel the duration of the installer might change if the new resource isn’t available the full time if the installer’s time was shortened earlier, planeus will keep the same duration on the new resource
