With DigPilot 3D installed on your excavator you get complete overview of the project you are working with. These are a some of the things you can do:
Make your own projects
With the GPS version you can make your own projects directly on the DigPilot.
In this way you are not dependent on project files from a surveyor to make use
of your GPS/GNSS. You can make ditches, slopes, profiles etc. like you do
on the 2D version without GPS/GNSS. The advantage of the 3D version is
that you can use the GPS/GNSS to determine the exact location of your
project, and therefore you need not reference the height after moving the
machine. Not to mention that you can make more complex projects
such as building pits.
Reads LandXML directly
DigPilot also reads LandXML projects directly. If you have received your project as a LandXML file (.xml),
you can load it directly onto the DigPilot from a USB stick. LandXML is a non-proprietary data standard
supported by many companies, and export to LandXML can therefore be made from most construction
software.
Record your work
Another benefit of the GPS/GNSS version is that you can use it to record
your work. By placing the bucket tip on appropriate points on the area
you have just excavated and pressing a button on the screen, the
coordinate points will be stored.
The coordinate points are stored in a file in which you for instance can add a comment for each coordinate point. The file can then be stored on a USB stick and read by other software.
3D graphics
With the GPS version you can view the excavator and the project in 3D. And with the single press of a button you can switch between 3D perspective view, 2D top view and 2D side view.
