Workflow for Reviewing WorksOS Machine Data

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

Note: Your tasks may vary from these typical steps, so feel free to use a different order or skip steps.

Notes

1.

Set up your program and project.

Program and Project Setup

Return to this workflow when you are finished with the Program and Project Setup Workflow.

 

If you skip step 1, open a project or start a new project.

Open an Existing Project

 

New Default Project
(use the default template)

 

 

 

Create a New Project
(choose a template)

 

2.

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

 

Log In to External Services

Note: If your Machine Data Service is set to use WorksOS authentication, you can use your WorksOS credentials to sign in to the Machine Data Service.

3.

Specify your project units and coordinate system.

Choose Project Settings

Change the Coordinate System

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

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.

Workflow for Managing Data for GCS and CCS

 

5.

Create a WorksOS project to send data to.

Create a 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.

Publish to WorksOS

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.

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.

Select a WorksOS Project

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 and Edit a 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.

View Machine Data

 

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.

Create and Edit a Machine Data Overlay

 

12.

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

13.

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

Create a 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 anomolies.

15.

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