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. |
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. |

2. |
Create profiles for external services and sign in to TCC, WorksOS, and the Machine Data Service.
|
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. |
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. |
|
|
5. |
Create a WorksOS project to send data to. |
|
|
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. |
|
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:
|
|
|
10. |
The Machine Data View automatically opens when you create any of these machine data overlays:
Review the statistics in the chart, table, and Plan View heat map. |
|
|
11. |
Modify overlays in various ways to see different machine data:
|
|
|
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). |
|
|
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. |
