Data Acquisition Features
During the mowing mission the Mower records 50 key data values every 1 second. These include values like speed, position, distance from the desired position on the mowing lane.
On completion of the mission the Mower can email you this data or you can examine the data
To make your life easier the information can be processed at the click of a button to graph all of the important recorded values so you can see a visual representation of the information. The graphs included the planned position vs the actual position so you can see just how accurate the mower is. Normally you will not use these features however the files can be emailed to us to determine the health of the mower
We also have organized the data into an easy to read data dashboard so you can compare the most important information in terms of min max values.
