The Tierra™ Solution... How doest it works?
The Tierra™ solution has 3 components.
• Tierra™ Hardware is the communications device installed on your machine
• The Tierra™ Subscription Plan enables the features you need, and configures how often the unit communicates.
• Tierra™ Web is the internet based user interface, where you'll go to configure alerts, generate reports and more.
All on-road and off-road assets are managed with just one login.
Construction
'At a glance' you can view machine metrics, performance statistics and real time situations.
Agriculture
Topcon can simply track everything with equiment maintenance and custom services.
Fleet Managment
Topcon Tierra™ provides you with critical data effortlessly, from and to on-board equiment. You will be able to see all of your assets on worldwide maps.
The Tierra™ Value Proposition
Tierra™ is a tool for gathering remote machine location, operating hours and machine information. The Tierra™ solution allows managers to make more informed decisions, and eliminates slow, inaccurate, and labor intensive data gathering regimens.
Tierra™ goes well beyond gathering large amounts of raw machine data. Tierra™ sifts through all that data and provides immediate alerts and useful reports. And that allows managers to focus on the things that are actionable, with minimal effort required to uncover those important pieces of information.
The concept is pretty simple. We've designed Tierra™ so that it won't bother you with situations that are ideal. It will alert you when a situation is less than ideal, allowing you to take immediate steps to improve the situation.
Productivity
A more accurate productivity measurement can be obtained by distinguishing machine idle time from actual production time. By utilizin g the sensor ro Canbus capabilities of your Tierra™ hardware, you can see which hours are productive and which hours are just wasteful idle time. Knowing this information daily allow you to address the issues promptly with operators - enabling an immediate improvement.
Maintenance
Tierra™ users set up machines to alert once they've reached their scheduled maintenance interval. The Tierra™ system is user configurable for any interval. Tierra™ replaces labor intensive and mistake prone manual data collection regimens. With accurate machine hours provieded daily, managers can be sure that machines are being serviced at the appropriate maintenance intervals. Tierra enables users to maintain machines within a much tighter tolerance of the specified service intervals.
Utilization
Tierra™ users are able to quickly determine which machines are not being used, and are available for redeployment to a more appropriate job site. Imagine being able to pull up a report in 30 seconds that shows all of your backhoes with less than 3-hours run time in the last week. Are you renting backhoes on other jobsites? Can those rental expenses be avoided if you have real time information on machine usage?
Security
To prevent unauthorized use or movement, Tierra™ offers multiple security options such as curfew, geofencing, and motion detection. Tierra™ can text message and/or email managers whenever a machine is runnning outside of a cutomer's normal hours of operation, when a machine is leaving a geofenced area, or if the machine moves when it's not powered on. Once you know your machine has left, it's easy to track and recover. Tierra™ delivers a significant reduction in theft related costs.
Job Costing
Many contractors gather machine run time for job costing. The data gathering process is typically expensive, labor intensive, subject to clerical errors, and even more - subject to fudgin. Tierra™ provides this information daily, and reports are available with a few simple keystrokes. The data is reliably accurate, and not subject to human error or fudging. In addition, with integration into back office software, the cost of human data entry can be eliminated.
