New version of trimble GCS9000 grade control system increases flexibility and ease of operation

Reference:
Claif, S. (2010, Feb. 24). New version of trimble GCS9000 grade control system increases flexibility and ease of operation.

Summary:
the trimble gcs900 grade contorl system version 11.2 supports new single point mapping functionality. the operator can add the point name and attribute information to a series of collected points like a trench center line. this will increase the ability collect information from the machine and complement the work. this information an then be transferred back to the office over the wireless two-way data synchronization link. and to support the new single point trimble introduced a new remote switch includes a point collection button, which allows the operator to collect, record, and map individual bucket positions. this program also allows users to switch between sensor configuration without the delay of configuration. that's allowing the machine to be utilized more continuously. also the user interface has been updated with more text items to provide the operator with better information in the cab.

Reaction:
this is a great step in developing a control system porgram and combining two of the most important factors in the automation field. It increases the flexibility we meet with a problem of configuration, and helps us to deal with this problem by switching to the second configuration without the need to stop the machine and upload the second configuration. besides, it allows the operater to collect the data in an easier way by using the new remote swithc. and all of these will enhance the performance of the machine and decrease the wasted time, especially in the field of industry and big industry factories. besides this software program will be more safe.
