SiteNet
SiteNet contains a variation of internet protocol between office and rover for a two-way real-time communication, which is a more advanced communication form than the radio link found in Telescope. This program does not need Telescope to load information into the database, but does to display the information. SiteNet can gather logging information from one or more rovers and runs automatically.

The SiteNet information gathering process is similar to Telescope in that it removes data from the rover machine once it has been successfully uploaded to the database. This information is used by Productivity Tools, the Carlson product that facilitates process and equipment performance analysis.

General Features

SiteNet has one main function: monitor vehicle positions and other important vehicle data. SiteNet maintains the telemetry link between the office and the gps equipped machines. The program downloads information into a database. SiteNet runs on an office computer, communicating with computers running Leica's Dozer 2000 or Carlson's AutoGrade, Dig, or DrillStar on vehicles in the field.

Previously to complete file transfers, an engineer would have to drive out to a vehicle and take it out of production while the files were transferred via PCMCIA card. With SiteNet, the same files can be transferred without leaving the office and more importantly without stopping production. The transfer takes place in the background while the rover software continues to guide the operator. This functionality also provides a safer way for engineers and surveyors to interact with the heavy equipment. They are no longer "on the ground" next to the equipment or under highwalls with minimal protection.

SiteNet continuously and automatically parses logging information from the vehicles into the database used by Carlson Software’s Productivity Tools. This logging information contains recorded position data used to study productivity.

Benefits
 
Real-time access to data
Necessary information available in the office for planning purposes
Does not stop production to retrieve or provide files
Safer then putting a surveyor "on the ground" next to heavy machinery or under highwalls
Can transfer data more quickly than Telescope
Works on current site network
Productivity Tools
 
When Productivity Tools is combined with AutoGrade, a whole wealth of information is available for analysis, which can lead to increased productivity and optimal performance from your dozer, loader, motorgrader, scraper, compactor, or other related equipment in need of grade control. SiteNet is responsible for retrieving the data from the rover machines.
   
Productivity Tools feature real-time remote viewing and full 3D playback of earthmoving equipment. In addition, user-defined reports on any aspect including push lengths and slopes, rehandle and volumes per hour are included in the arsenal.

Operator actions can be assessed to bring all operators' performance to the same level. It is a software package that aides in "best practice" evaluations.
