This involves the integration of internet-enabled wireless data transfer, remote display access capabilities, and location history viewing of other JDLink-enabled machines.
It is designed for use with the John Deere L-Series skidders and wheeled feller bunchers and M-Series tracked feller bunchers. The solution is aimed at creating a more connected jobsite and optimizing productivity for owners and jobsite foremen. With this update, TimberNavi introduces four new features to help owners and operators increase uptime and cut costs:
- Wireless Data Transfer: Managers save on time spent traveling and starting a new jobsite with the ability to wirelessly transfer digital maps to a machine.
- Remote Location History Viewing: Managers can monitor progress remotely, decreasing travel time and aiding in future bidding of jobs.
- Remote Display Access: Dealers can provide better, faster customer support with the ability to troubleshoot the TimberNavi monitor remotely. Owners and managers can also remotely access the TimberNavi monitor to make adjustments for the operator and also import and export historical data to and from the office.
- JDLink Compatibility: Operators have increased awareness through JDLink integration, allowing them to see other JDLink-enabled machines and respective tracking layers on the jobsite.
The update will maintain the key features of the initial launch, including custom map creation, a high-resolution touchscreen display, visual alarms based on customizable buffer zones and full support of a John Deere dealer. These features increase the operator's spatial understanding of the terrain, harvesting areas and points of interest on a map, which in turn helps enhance productivity, increase uptime and deliver lower daily operating costs. TimberNavi can be installed at the factory on new machines, or field-installed on existing machines through a local dealer. Source
