Use this compaction workflow to manage design surfaces and as-built compaction machine data reporting back into Trimble Business Center. Send design surfaces to compact to CCS machines in the field via TCC, bring as-built compaction data back into TBC, and review it graphically with charts and statistics, and as a surface. Note that some of the steps below are outside of this program.

Following are the basic steps for this workflow. For more detailed instructions, see Create a WorksOS Project.

Steps:

Commands:

1.

Open a project or start a new project.

Open Project

New Default Project - Use the default template.

New Project - Choose a template.

2.

Create profiles for external services and sign in to TCC, WorksOS, and the Machine Data Service.

Options > External services - Profiles

3.

Specify your project units and coordinate system.

The coordinate system needs to be the same as the one used in WorksOS and CCS900.

Project Settings

Change Coordinate System

4.

If your project does not already have a job site, site and design data, and job site designs, use the Field Data Workflow to create them.

5.

Create a WorksOS project to send data to.

Create WorksOS Project

6.

Publish your project's coordinate system, reference surfaces (design and surveyed/as-built) and alignments to WorksOS so you have data to compare your machine data against.

Typically, WorksOS data is published to the Business Data Center filespace on TCC. The coordinate system should remain unchanged so that TBC and WorksOS are in sync.

Publish to WorksOS

7.

Outside of this software:

Use the WorksOS 3D Project Monitoring workflow to manage and monitor the creation of machine data such as pass counts, compaction meter value (CMV), and temperature.

8.

Use the Publish to WorksOS command to select a project for which you want to display compaction, as-built, and other data as an overlay.

You must have a job site, and select a design first.

9.

Overlay machine data onto a Plan View so that you can view, analyze, and filter the current data coming from one or more machines, for example:

Pass count details overlay

Elevation overlay

Create Machine Data Overlay

10.

The Machine Data View automatically opens when you create any of these machine data overlays:

Pass count details

Pass count summary

CMV

CMV summary

Review the statistics in the chart, table, and Plan View heat map.

11.

Modify overlays in various ways to see different machine data:

Select a new overlay type.

Filter by a different geographic area.

Select a specific machine or design.

Limit by a new date range.

Edit Machine Data Overlay

12.

Review machine data cell-by-cell by picking locations in a machine data overlay.

Detailed Cell Viewer

13.

Create a surface from machine data (in the form of an elevation overlay).

Create Machine Data Surface

14.

Review the surface using a variety of tools. Machine data elevation surfaces maintain all machine data properties, such as date filters and pass count data, but in a 3D form that you can more easily investigate for anomalies.

Instruct the Machine Data Service to re-process mis-tagged files so that their design and lift and date range information is correct.
