Trimble Tracker RFID Solution
Trimble Tracker RFID Solution RFID / GPS / GPRS-based system that tracks assets, tools, and materials on heavy civil construction project sites, laydown yards and open air storage locations Assets include Buckets Hand tools Water Tanks Signs Survey Equipment This cloud-based, application is intended for: Equipment and project managers, site supervisors, data survey and tool managers
Features and Benefits RFID technology combined with GPS provides unparalleled, realtime location accuracy Features Accurately and automatically monitor asset movements, availability and use. Stop purchasing replacement assets due to lost items. Locate equipment that needs to be shared between projects. Monitor owed versus leased usage history for each asset. At the corporate level, monitor overall utilization, while the project manager can monitor on site utilization. Manage rental equipment utilization history know where it is and who rented it. Many ways to scan assets fixed, handheld or vehicle. A variety of RFID tag sizes and shapes to suit every need. Integrate, report and document asset location information (Trimble Tracker) and visual condition (Trimble Inspector) in the office with Trimble Asset Manager. Benefits Reduced work stoppage and time spent driving to the site to manually locate assets. Reduced inventory and costs. Improved asset utilization. Increased service levels. Make smarter buying decisions about equipment for rent and ensure that rented equipment is returned. Easy to use and install. A complete, centralized view of all assets on multiple sites for better analysis and reporting.

Target Users The new features added to Business Center - HCE will benefit from the following Road and site contractors Estimators Data prep technicians GPS system managers Project managers Project engineers Specialty contractors who provide the following services Foundations Piling Drilling Geotechnical Slipform paving contractors
Data Exchange Features Continue to maintain and improve data exchange, new features offer opportunities in supporting structural information in the civil model and scheduling capabilities Import IFC Files Industry Foundation Class (IFC), the ability to bring BIM into a civil model. Open format to describe architecture engineering and construction objects into the model Import/export Inframodel files XML data, which includes corridor and alignment based surfaces. Novapoint export Export SOSI Files Vector data with points Sketchup export version options TILOS export The ability to export mass haul and profile information to TILOS for earthworks scheduling
Data Exchange Features Bentley imodel Historic data transfer issues, until now contractors have been provided with Paper plans PDF plans CAD files (DXF, DWG, DGN) which loose the geometry LandXML files which loose the CAD data Proprietary files e.g. DTM, ALG, GPK that cannot be read directly into contractors tools
ICM based i-models For Data Transfer A new i-model for civil construction has been defined that contains an Infrastructure Consensus Model which provides both Geometry and CAD data from the Bentley design authoring products based on OpenRoads Select Series 3 technology A single step, select and publish function can create the new i-model package which contains Alignments Linework Surfaces Corridors Meshes More capabilities will follow
i-model (ICM) Support Layer Names Preserved Colors Linestyles Surfaces Alignments Corridors Meshes Boundaries
i-model Highlights Component meshes are passed through for top surface, subgrade surfaces and structures Civil objects are reproduced as Business Center HCE construction objects
Field Data Module Continuing to provide features to: Manage and arrange data for the field Site Positioning Systems, Grade Control Systems and Paving Control Systems Check data before it is sent to the field Recover and report data that is received from the field New field reporting tools released this week! More to come

The Connected Office
Feeding the Connected Site
Advanced Drafting Module Drafting has been a long requested feature. We provided the first release of drafting support focused on supporting corridor cross sections Focused around corridor cross-section drafting, consider this a v1 for drafting. More improvements to come. New Drafting Ribbon Plot cross sections for any alignment based surface, corridor, exiting ground etc. Control text styles, line styles, hatch patterns and colors
Advanced Drafting Module A library of templates is included with standard paper sizes Predefined sheets available on install Allows you to get drafting as soon as you re installed Just Drag and Drop
Advanced Drafting Module Template sheets can be used. Users can build their own sheets from the ground up. All sheets are dynamic and linked through the entire model Commands include Create a plan set Create and edit a sheet set Build cross-section sheets Create a custom sheet Open a sheet view
Advanced Drafting Module Version one drafting is focused on cross sections. Dynaview is available with reduced feature set Create a Dynaview Create a sheet view of a portion of your model Images are not yet supported Print sheets from a plan set Copy objects to paper space 3D PDF creation
New Advanced Drafting Plan, Profile Continuously to adding functions to advanced drafting Create dynaview boundary collection Define grid style Plan Profile Mass haul

Device Support Trimble SNM451 Connected Site Gateway support Support for CrossCheck
Trimble SNM451 Connected Site Gateway Feature Rugged and sealed housing Benefit The SNM451 can be deployed on any construction asset with the confidence that it will stand up to harsh conditions. Flexible reporting options in VisionLink Start with basic location and utilization reporting and add 2D Project Monitoring for data on cycle times and load counts. No other asset management solution offers such flexibility in a low cost device. Customers can enable the device to track exactly the information they need for a particular job site or asset. Competitive price point It is now feasible for contractors to track location and utilization for every machine and vehicle on the job site. The SNM451 also makes VisionLink more accessible to smaller contractors and rental companies that do not need the high-end functionality of the SNM940 Connected Site Gateway.
SNM451 Target Customers The SNM451 provides significant value to these target customers: Fleet and rental managers who allocate equipment resources and schedule fleet maintenance Project managers responsible for materials movement, meeting project timelines and multiple sites Site managers who need immediate status of equipment and its usage on a particular site Sub-contractors who must verify load counts and machine usage for the lead contractor Project owners involved in fleet purchasing decisions Companies with Trimble GCS900 Grade Control Systems who would like to monitor additional assets in VisionLink along side their GCS900 production machines Note: VisionLink 3D Project Monitoring is not available with the SNM451 Loadrite Payload support is not available with the SNM451
SNM451 and SNM940
