Waratah announces the addition of mapping technology to its TimberRiteTM H-16 control system

The new mapping feature provides customers with a new jobsite perspective to increase operational productivity and precision.

The new mapping technology option on the TimberRite H-16 benefits the owners bottom line. The mapping capabilities give Waratah customers a new vantage point to see their jobsite work progress, eliminate operational guesswork and improve productivity and efficiency.

One of the key benefits of the mapping technology option on the TimberRite H-16 system is how it enables visualization of production on the jobsite. In conjunction with H-16, the mapping links valuable production data and information to location – improving productivity and operational precision.

Operators benefit from the mapping technology option with improved jobsite planning for harvesting routes and increased awareness of jobsite progress. The mapping system tracks productivity and provides capabilities to mark boundaries and area as well as identify points of interest such as hazards, obstacles, soft ground and challenging terrain. The mapping solution is able to identify hazards onsite. The automatic alarms are a good reminder, especially when working around powerlines and roads.

TimberRite H-16 complements the new mapping technology option with its powerful Windows PC. Controlling the head for accurate measuring and precise log control, it also serves to display the mapping technology, records production information, tracks productivity and packages appropriate files in the latest format to ensure data interchanges virtually with any professional system in the forestry industry.

The touch-screen display or wireless keyboard and touch pad mouse assist the user in setting boundaries, area or points of interest – and make any necessary adjustments. The mapping technology has compatibility with all map formats including shapefiles, pdfs, standard satellite or topographical imagery, and it’s capable on all carrier brands with a new or existing TimberRite H-16 system.
