Consider the System as a Whole

ModernAccurate dirtmachine movingcontrol depends on the performance of the entire system, not just the T3RRA software. Successful earthmoving requires mechanical, hydraulic, electrical, GNSS and software systems to work together reliably.

While T3RRA software is a complicated operation. It involves a mix of mechanical, hydraulic, electronic, and software technologies. To perform with the high accuracy most users expect it is critical that all the involved technologies are performing at maximum potential. Your T3RRA software application is an importantkey part of your landformingmachine-control system.solution, But,its itperformance is onedependent on the condition, configuration and calibration of the smallerequipment andaround leastit. expensivePoor partsmachine ofmaintenance, theinaccurate operation.GNSS Thepositioning performanceor ofincorrect T3RRAhydraulic calibration cannot be compensated for by software is heavily reliant on all other parts of the system being properly maintained and tuned.alone.

Do notDon't disengage your brain when engaging T3RRA software.
T3RRA software is an operator-assistance system, not a substitute for an attentive operator. Continue to observe machine behaviour, monitor positioning accuracy and verify work quality throughout every operation. Failure to continuouslydo observe,so monitor, measure, and critically evaluate the performance of the system WILLmay result in suboptimalinaccurate or unsatisfactory results.
