Cloud-based Reporting with Trimble WorksManager

​In addition to leveraging machine control with the pile drivers, project managers can also use Trimble WorksManager cloud-based software as a central hub for real-time reporting of production and quality data. With data available in the cloud, project managers can more easily troubleshoot operations, monitor overall project progress in real time, and ensure an optimized and stable piling rate.

“With the boom in energy requirements around the world, many energy companies are looking to solar to help them meet both economic and emissions goals,” said Ed Savage, lead product manager at Vermeer. “Leveraging Trimble machine control technology with Vermeer pile driving technology has the capability to change the way solar farms are built. Now, driving piles requires minimal operator inputs and can increase the speed and accuracy of solar farm construction.”

“The combination of machine control and remote control pile drivers represents the next step on the road to autonomy and has the potential to vastly improve worker safety, productivity, speed, and accuracy on solar projects,” said Elwyn McLachlan, vice president of civil solutions at Trimble. “Together, Vermeer and Trimble are changing how projects are completed and can improve the process of solar farm construction for the benefit of our customers and of our planet.”
