Slim Android app for digital compaction documentation
How to document earthmoving processes transparently, share the result with third parties and at the same time support new roller drivers in their work? In close cooperation with the client, Exercim developed a mobile solution.
01
The challenge
The client - a specialist for rollers in road construction and earthworks - was looking for a way to train inexperienced roller operators more effectively and support them in their daily work.
In addition, the compaction documentation should be improved: Instead of selectively, the measurement data must be recorded over the entire area in the future (so-called area-wide compaction control).
02
The solution
A smartphone app should transparently capture and record the compaction data. The app should also provide the user with rudimentary evaluations and reports.
To provide the data for back-office processes, the transfer to the Wirtgen Cloud was required.
03
The result
Exercim developed an easy-to-use Android app that captures compaction data via GPS location and transmits it to the Wirtgen Cloud.
For customer-owned machines, the app also takes into account roll parameters such as surface temperature and compaction value.
In addition, a back-office solution that collects compaction data from the rollers via IoT technology was created, as well as a REST interface to feed the front end. The user interface was implemented as a single page application.
