The basics and how to get started

Infrakit is a collaborative cloud solution available on all PC and mobile devices that helps project owners,

design engineers and construction companies to realize road, track and heavy civil earthwork projects

using Building Information Models (BIM).

Infrakit - real-time infra project data visualization

Infrakit can be used during the whole construction process:

• Design engineers can store, visualize, manage and share digital design information (open data

format BIM models)

• Contractors are able to report and manage information through different apps (web, android) and

connect their machines and devices on site

• Project owners and project consultants can follow work site progress and quality online.

With the help of Infrakit, the project owner can follow the pre-design, the design processes and the

execution on work-site in real time. Model-based design process allows effective use of the latest

construction technologies such as machine control systems. The quality of designs can be monitored, and

the construction site becomes transparent when using Infrakit in the worksite. Quality and progress of the

site can be followed on-line.

Model-based quality control is a build-in feature of Infrakit. Quality control measurements are shown on


5

the map display and automatically compared with related surface models. Tolerance violations are

marked with red color.

Infrakit and the design process

• Visualize your CAD and BIM designs without costly software or training.

• Create an open file format coordination model that can be directly used for estimation and

construction.

• Share your design files with customers, colleagues, construction companies on site.

• Make changes and corrections with site feedback and share updated model immediately.

• Transform your BIM model into work-site proven 3D work-file.

When BIM is being used, design engineers create surface models covering all build areas. Infrakit helps

the design engineer to see how the terrain models are seen at the work-site by surveyor and contractors.

Files uploaded to Infrakit are tested for typical errors (e.g. broken triangulation). When the models are

displayed on map or satellite picture view in their correct position, design engineer and project owner can

verify the accuracy of the coordinate system used. Map view ensures that the model files cover all

necessary areas and then the critical points, e.g. intersections, can be given a detailed look using cross

section tools and 3D coordination model view. Good designs result in efficient building process and

minimize re-work!

Infrakit - always connected and available

At the office or on site: 24/7 access

• Infrakit OFFICE™ to manage all information on your PC screen

• Infrakit FIELD™ to carry the project information on site

• Infrakit LINK™ to connect directly with surveying equipment and machine control systems

Infrakit OFFICE™ is the detailed interface, allowing all functions from design and models, to review of the

site information (as-built data, uploaded pictures, documents), and management of all equipment and

machines connected. Infrakit OFFICE™ does not require any physical installation of a software, it simply

opens on the web-browser of your PC or laptop.

Infrakit FIELD™ is available on Android for smartphones and tablets. When design engineers visit the site,

they can take Infrakit FIELD™ with them. It will show the designs with user position and chainage, using

the device's build-in GPS position. It allows opening of any background map or terrain model, drawing

cross sections and showing measured points, even taking pictures and notes tied to their location with

automatic uploading into Infrakit server if changes or other unexpected situations occur during a project.

If machine control systems are used, Infrakit LINK™ connects directly surveying equipment and even a

multi-brand machine fleet. It can update the 3D work-files and download usage history data as well as

alignments and follow the calibration data of each connected system. With machine control professionally

used, project owners can accept reduced quality control surveying, replaced with points measured by the

machine guidance systems (as-built data). Infrakit also shows machine utilization, which is directly

correlated with worksite efficiency.

Infrakit makes your project transparent: when the design data is uploaded to Infrakit in open file formats,

all as-built data can be added, and measurements can be automatically compared with design data. Site

progress and quality can be followed online.


7

Transparent worksite means that the site progress, its quality, quantities and timetables can be followed in

real time.

Infrakit connecting devices and machines at work-site

Using Infrakit at the work-site allows:

• Sharing design data to all site personnel without costly and complicated software tools.

• Storing pictures, notes, reports and audits of the project.

• Managing and visualizing quality control measurements and reducing reporting cost and delay.

• Showing background maps and designs on mobile and tablet devices together with user chainage

position.

• Maintaining the machine control system work-files and calibration.

• Reporting machine utilization, work history and efficiency.

• Reporting possible design faults and re-work needs online, and sharing updated designs in

minimum time and cost

• Creating as-built model of the site automatically as the work progress

Optimization of those tasks is enhanced when the contractor uses the latest information technology and

machine control systems. That is when Infrakit via Infrakit LINK™ offers its maximum added value. Since

Infrakit handles all data in open file formats, design data is available for all measurement systems and

measured points can be loaded into Infrakit easily. Fast data handling reduces the delay in quality and

progress reporting, replaces a lot of manual handling and report preparation, and gives real-time view to

the site. Infrakit LINK™ allows connection with most popular surveying equipment and machine control

systems brands like:

• Leica

• MOBA (Novatron)

• Topcon

• Trimble

• Many others

Because Infrakit is hardware independent, it can be fully integrated regardless of machine control system

suppliers used in the project, and therefore even enables multi-brand fleet management, giving

contractors the flexibility to source brands and mix them while still guarantying continuous data collection.


8

Infrakit has been used in major road and rail work-sites since 2011 and helps contractors to manage their

data more efficiently with lower cost and more practical manner. Infrakit team can bring the latest

advantages of digitalization processes into your company and your work-site.

Map Page - Vehicles

The “Vehicles” tab of the quick menu shows a list of the project’s vehicles (added on the Admin pages).

The color code indicates the status of the vehicle:

• Green: An active vehicle with active and working data connections to infrakit. (All assigned models

have been synced between Infrakit and the machine.)

• Red: Assigned models have not been synced between machine and Infrakit. Either sync is

ongoing or waiting to happen or sync has failed, and data connections are down.

• Orange: Vehicle is activated for the project with latest models synced but it’s not online.

• Grey: The vehicle is set to 'on hold' state or the vehicle is not activated for this project.

Clicking on a vehicle in the list centers the map around this vehicle. Clicking on the vehicle in the map

opens detailed information about the vehicle. It is possible to see on the map the log points of a specific

vehicle by selecting that vehicle, clicking on the vehicle of the map which opens the detailed information

about the vehicle, then choose a time frame (24h, 7 days, 30 days, all).


13

Map Page - Models

It is recommended to use a folder structure to place the different models for easier access.

You can either select the models one at a time for better visibility or use the selection box on the root

folder to show all the available models at the same time.

Within a folder, you can click on a specific model to center the map on that specific model.


14

Map Page - Maps

It will use the same folder structure as seen in the “Files” page and used to display models in the “Models”

tab of the quick menu.

NOTE: once a background map selected, you need to validate your choice by clicking “Apply” to have it

visible on the Map page.


15

Map Page - Documents

It will use the same folder structure as seen in the “Files” page and used to display models in the “Models”

tab of the quick menu.

It is possible to see quickly the number of available documents within a folder by checking the number

next it (for example: (1) refers to one document available within this folder).

Clicking on a document on the list will show it and its location on the map. It also opens some available

features below the name of the document allowing:

• Download of the document: it will download to your computer and open the document in a new

window

• Edit: will enable you to change the name of the document, add a description, define a new folder

location to store the document, change location (either with exact coordinates or by clicking a new

location on the map), or delete it.


16

Map Page - As-builts

In order to quickly see on which model the as-builts points are reference, refer to the number next to each

folder (for example (589) means 589 as-built points available on the model located in that folder). It is

possible to see all ever registered as-built points or to limit the time frame to a day, a week, or a month.

The as-builts points use a color code as follows:

• Black: point measured within the tolerances, not yet checked or approved by accredited staff

• Blue: point measured too low (out of tolerances), not yet checked or approved by accredited staff

• Red: point measured too high (out of tolerances), not yet checked or approved by accredited staff

• Orange: point measured and checked by accredited staff but not yet approved

• Green: point measured, checked and approved by accredited staff

Clicking an as-built point on the map will open more information about this specific point. It is then

possible to edit the information about the specific point (approval stage, folder, model, alignment or

vehicle) or to delete the point if required.

TIP: in order to accelerate the checking or approval process, it is possible to select multiple points by

clicking “Bulk Edit” and then to choose multiple individual points (“Click to select”) or draw an area

collecting all points within (“Area selection”)


17

Map Page - Images

The “Images” tab of the quick menu shows the available images saved by anyone during the project (and

previously uploaded on the “Images” page) and allows to display them on the map. Images can be saved

in any folder of the project (saved folder as define on the “Files” page).

In order to quickly see the available images, refer to the number next to each folder (for example (17)

means 17 images available located in that folder). It is possible to see all saved images or to limit the time

frame to a day, a week, or a month.

Clicking on a picture on the map will open a preview of the picture and more information about this

specific picture. It is then possible to display it on full screen, or edit the information about that picture

(name, description, folder, location on the map with exact coordinates or select it on the map, heading) or

to download it or delete the point if required.

TIP: in order to edit more than one image at once, it is possible to select multiple images by clicking “Bu lk

Edit” and then draw an area collecting all images within


18

Files Page

The Files page is the main place to manage all the folders and documents you want to use and share on

Infrakit.

When you create a new project on Infrakit, the Files page is empty. You will need to create a folder

structure to start uploading documents. To create a folder structure in the Files page, click the “create

folder” button:


19

When the window opens, add the name of the desired folder and click “create folder”

The selected folder appears on the left menu

To create sub-folders, simply click-select the main folder first and follow the creating folder instructions

again.


20

Once a folder is created, it is then possible to upload files to it by clicking the upload button:

• Clicking the upload button will prompt a new window

• You can then either drop the files in the window or click the blue banner to select manually in your

local drives:

Finalize the operation by clicking upload.

You can also at any time, select a file from this “Files” page by clicking on it on the list in the folder and

select “download”.


21

File types

Infrakit uses open file formats. If you need a new file format to be supported, please contact us

([email protected]) and provide file specification and explanation how it will be used. It is likely that we can

create support for all your important file types.

• Triangle mesh – File is a DXF or LandXML triangle mesh surface. The first surface found in the file

will be drawn on the map.

• IFC for structures (steel, concrete...)

• Pipe networks (LandXML)

• Line model – File is a LandXML/Inframodel line model. The file should contain one surface defined

by alignments.

• Map – DXF map file can contain lines, points, texts and other shapes

• Alignment – File is a Landxml alignment. The first alignment found in the file will be used. To draw

perpendicular cross sections, user must have an alignment active. However, it is possible to draw

free cross section without selecting an alignment.

• Document – .pdf, .xls or a Word document .doc file that shows on map

• Other – File will not be checked or drawn on map. However, it may be transferred into selected

machine control system specified by the user.


22

Vehicles Page

The “Vehicles” page gives an overview of the different vehicles registered on the project, but also gives

access to large amount of data and information about them.

Note: you will only see the vehicles assigned by the Admin to the project. In order to add vehicles to a

project, the Admin need to create a vehicle, and assign it to the project.

When accessing the “Vehicles” page, you see quickly:

• The list of all vehicles registered to the project

• The number of online vehicles

• The overall efficiency of the vehicles on the project

• The total amount of working hours registered by the vehicles.

But also, for each vehicle:

• Additional information about the vehicle (type, station location, last contact, efficiency, connection

time and driver/additional information)

• Button to “edit” the vehicle (only available for Admins)

Possibility to download locally on your computer the as-built points in format CSV, GT or XML for

any given time range.

There are also additional tabs such as:

• Efficiency: graph visualization of the efficiency of each vehicle compared to all.

• Usage statistic: view for each vehicle, per week, their daily activity with information like exact time,

starting/ending station and model used.

• Manage rights: to define which models are accessible for each vehicle

• Accuracy: detailed information about the as-built point loaded by this vehicle and its accuracy

compared to the reference models.


23

Images Page

The Images page is the main place to manage all the images and photos you want to use and share on

Infrakit.

When arriving on the “Images” page, you will recognize the folder structure you have defined in the “Files”

page. That is made to ensure homogeneity between the different pages and allow you to organize and

find your elements quickly.

You will see some action buttons located on the “Images” page such as:

• Select images: allows you to move selected images to a specific folder (by clicking then on “Move

selected images to folder”)

• Add images: using the prompted window, allows you browse on your local disks or drag and drop

images, choose the destination folder and add comments.

• Add zip files: if you have a number of images in zip files, allows you to select it from your hard disk

and unload it in the chosen destination folder and add comments.

• Download image: will automatically download in a zip file all the images of all folders to your local

disk.

• Download all with folder structure: will automatically download in a zip file all the images of all

folder to your local disk keeping however the original folder structure of Infrakit


24

As-Built Page

The “As-built” page allows you to manage all as-builts points of the project, whether uploaded

automatically from the vehicles or added manually.

You will recognize on the left side, the same folder structure as defined previously in the “Files” page and

used on the other pages as well.

In case you have a lot of as-built point to visualize, you can add filter to reduce the search and focus on

specific as-built points.

When you have the as-built points listed you are able to:

• View them directly on map (clicking the location blue icon) and it will prompt you the location on

the window.

• View the point history and information

• Visualize in the table all the other attributes of the points

• You can also generate a PDF report of the points and their characteristics by clicking on the blue

icon in the upper right corner.


25

Trucks Page

The “Truck” page is used to visualize and track the masses movements via the movement of

trucks/vehicles.

In order to track the trucks/vehicles, the only condition is to have a smartphone or tablet present in the

vehicle, with the TRUCK™ App installed and connected.

Just like on the Map page, there is a quick menu on the left with sections for:

1. Tracking

You have the list of the vehicles registered on your project. In case you have a large number of vehicles,

you can use the "search vehicle" field to narrow down the list.

By clicking on the graph button (next to search field), you will get an overall graphic picture of the tracking

by distance, time and volume for all vehicles.


26

While by clicking the "All vehicles" button, you get access to the detailed list of trips for all vehicles. On

that list you can:

• narrow down the list by clicking "Today", "all", "this week", "last week". You also have additional

options in the dropdown menu.

• use the filter to search for key words or use the date selection fields.

• manually add a new trip by clicking "Add a new trip" in case you want to track a vehicle not

equipped with the Truck App.

• download the trip list (csv format file, open on Microsoft Excel).


27

From the list of vehicles, you have access to specific information about each vehicle, like the visualization

of his trips over the last 12h (12h button), graphic visualization of the vehicle data (graph icon), and

detailed list trips with their respective data (3 bars icon next to graph icon).

2. Geofence

Geofence allows you to create specific areas on the map corresponding to loading and unloading areas.

This can be used to define for example areas for different materials or tasks. Geofence is also the way to

"automatize" the load/unload action from the TRUCK™ app.

How to create a load/unload geofence area:

• Click "Add" blue button

• Define the area name (example: specific materials, geographic area name, name of task to do)

• Define the materials to be picked/unloaded in this area.

• Select the type of area (load/unload/both load and unload)

• Directly on the map, draw the area, by clicking the contour of the area. Each left click will drop a

contour point.

• You also have the possibility to assign the new created area to a specific vehicle if desired.

• Save your area by validating on the "add" blue button

• Once created, an area can be edited or deleted at any time of the project.


28

3. Materials

Use this page to create a new type of materials to be used in connection with the load/unload areas. You

only need to click the "Add" blue button and define a name for the material. Materials can be edited or

deleted at any time of the project.

4. Tasks

Use this page to create a new task to be used in connection with the vehicle. You only need to click the

"Add" blue button and define a name for the task. Materials can be edited or deleted at any time of the

project.


29

Visualization Page

The “Visualization” page allows you to visualize in 3D your project, models.

When arriving on the “Visualization” page please note that by default all the models are unselected and

therefore you only see the location of the project and the background maps (in order to change the

background map, select on the Maps menu the map you want to use).

You also have the possibility in upper right corner to:

• Allow cross-section, and use the tool to create one

• Change the height offset to get the selected model closer to the map as the map is always

visualization on 0m see level but your model might be at a different height according to the height

system and exact altitude.

To visualize a model select Models on the menu:

• To open the folder structure

• To locate and select the model(s) you want to visualize


30

In order to “navigate” on the 3D view note that:

• you can zoom using the zooming tool of your mouse

• left click and dragging will make you move in x/y direction around the 3D model

• in order to move up and down (in z axis), use your mouse and hold the “shift” button on your

keyboard

• right click and dragging allows rotation around the point clicked


31

Other examples of 3D visualization:

Infrakit FIELD™ Web App for phones and tablets

It is possible to use Infrakit FIELD™ with your smartphone (iPhone and Android) without the native app.

Open m.infrakit.com in your web browser the address and sign in using your usual Infrakit account.

You can see your station number relative to the active alignment and project background map.

Infrakit FIELD™ on web-browser shows user location on map and calculates their pole position relative to

alignment. The main background map is shown together with alignment and machinery connected with

Infrakit.

http://m.infrakit.com/


33

Infrakit ADMIN

Infrakit ADMIN allows administrator level users to manage projects and users on Infrakit.

Creating a project

New projects can be created by the Admin in Admin-page.

To create a new project:

• Click on “New Project” in the “Project Tab” which will open a “New Project” interface.

• Define a new name for the project.

• Infrakit shows all designs and as-builts in site coordinate system. Therefore, a coordinate system

must be defined to each project. If you have trouble finding your local coordinate system, please

contact [email protected].

• Finally save the project before being able to invite users or integrate machine guidance services.

mailto:[email protected]


34

After the new project is named and created, further project information is given in Infrakit-pages by design

engineer or at the construction site by Chief Surveyor.

If the project is a road or rail construction site and you have a main alignment, it is recommended to define

that in the Project-page. This helps communicating user locations at site. Infrakit Tablet and Mobile

calculate user position as pole/chainage position and side distance from the selected or main alignment,

using the build-in GPS position of the device in use.

Defining a background map is also recommended. In a good background map, there is enough

information for everyone in the project to understand or perceive the construction site shape and

boundaries, and how and where elements like roads, borderlines etc. are located relative to each other.

Borderlines can also be included for the project as a separate model file and shown as vertical lines in

cross section view. Also two general surface models can be included, normally used for base-rock and

surface model. These are also shown when cross sections are drawn from user selected positions.


35

the light next to the machine name should go green.


45

Using Novatron Infrakit Client

Infrakit Client updates the latest files from Infrakit to the machine and sends as-built data saved on the

machine to Infrakit automatically every 5 minutes.

When project files are added, updated or removed there will be a notification on Xsite PRO display that

suggests reloading the project. Project updates can be checked also afterwards by choosing “Project

changelog” in the Project menu.

Infrakit Client will delete all files and folders in the main project folder that are not added through Infrakit.

Don't save or add any files in the main project folder manually, only through Infrakit!

Coordinate and Height systems

Infrakit Client forces any coordinate and height systems found within the project files to be used.

Coordinate and height system files must be located in the main project folder.

Filename extension for coordinate system files is .prm and for height system files it is .geoid.

You can also choose which coordinate and height system you want to use in Xsite PRO software.

Codelist

Infrakit Client forces codelist within the project to be used, if one is found in the project main

folder. Codelist filename extension is .nfcl.

Folder Structure

It's essential to maintain a sensible folder structure on bigger projects. Xsite PRO supports subfolders in

the main project folder. Unnecessary folders can be deleted, and new folders can be added when needed.


46

Integrating Leica ConX and VisualMachine Machine Control Systems

Leica Geosystems machine control systems (iCON 3D and VisualMachine) can be integrated to Infrakit

through Leica ConX service.

Infrakit and ConX settings

You should have an existing Infrakit project, which can be empty or already contain design files and other

machinery.

Fresh ConX project created with the work machines to be connected attached to it.

Connect Infrakit project to ConX project in Infrakit Admin (Edit project).

NOTE: If you dont see the Connect link in the Edit Project page, the integration has not yet been

enabled for your organization. Contact Infrakit support.

iCON 3D and VisualMachine machines should appear in Infrakit project as vehicles.

After connecting the projects, you will manage design files in Infrakit. Supported design file formats are

DXF and LandXML.

You can then set model rights to these machines in Infrakit for them to sync to the machine. After sync is

done the files should appear in your ConX project with assignments to the machines selected in Infrakit.

Files should then appear in the TO_MACHINE folders of the machines in ConX. Then they have to be

synced to the machine(s) from there. The driver will typically have to initiate file sync on the work machine.


47

Setting required on iCON 3D machine

To sync machine saved points to Infrakit, following setting have to be in place.

a) Point logging must be done by via “Manual Autologging” (.CSV files, Logging settings Page 2)

Main screen (Dig)

Tools > Store points options, page 2/2 Auto logging options

Settings for CSV logging:

• Measure by: manual

• Point file: [structural layer name].csv

• Point prefix: point code

• Measure points: REF

Press Hand symbol on Dig screen to save points (picture below, lower toolbar center of screen).


48

b) CSV files must be included into Remote File Sync: Main screen > Settings > Other > Services >

Remote sync button > Upload suffixes: Add .CSV to selection.

After these settings are in place, measured points are sent to ConX when machine is synced. Infrakit

fetches the points every 5 minutes from ConX and they are matched to folders and files according to

surface name and point code (csv prefix). Infrakit looks for the matching surface name inside LandXML


49

and DXF files and if a matching surface is found, the point is attached to that surface and dZ value is

calculated.


50

Integrating Trimble Connected Community (TCC) to Infrakit

In order to see detailed steps on how to connect your TCC to Infrakit, you can review our tutorial videos

below in the different categories:

Integrating Sandvik SanRemo to Infrakit

To make integration works properly drill rigs should use SanRemo for model transfer.

Connect your account

For connection you should have an existing Infrakit project, which can be empty or already contains

vehicles and SanRemo account. Connect Infrakit project to SanRemo account in Infrakit ADMIN

Organisation section.

After clicking “New connection” Infrakit will ask you for SanRemo username and password. After inserting

username and password Infrakit will start initial synchronization, all machines and as-builds from

SanRemo should be visible inside Infrakit.

Infrakit reads as-builds from quality reports in SanRemo. Each quality report must have drill plan. Vehicle

location will be last measurement point.

TIP: If drill plan does not exist you can create empty one.


53

Integrating Topcon Sitelink to Infrakit

Follow these steps to enable the integration.

In Sitelink

• General: Sitelink3D allows 4 active projects so planning how to utilize them together with Infrakit is

needed.

• Model files: Any Topcon MC/MG reads native Topcon formats (TP3, RD3, TN3, PT3, LN3). Since

software version 12.3.XX of X-53 and X-63, also landXML files with TIN surfaces (without

breaklines), alignments are directly supported. Also Stringlinelayers and CrosSections can be built

to roads in the system. Infrakit recommends LandXML workflow for machines whenever possible.

• As-built: Enterprise version of Sitelink3D is needed for bringing as-built points to Infrakit.

However, point code attribute is not supported in Sitelink3D

In Infrakit

Note! Infrakit is not utilizing Topcon native format.

• As admin, click settings button and then click Admin

• Go to Project, and edit project by clicking Edit (Pen symbol)

• Scroll down to integrations and click “new connection” under Topcon Sitelink3D.

• Place in your Sitelink3D credentials and press login.

• After successful connection, the machines will appear to the admin page and can be added to

different projects.


54

Automatic storage of machine accuracy / calibration

A machine at the site can measure a fixed mark / known point, and the difference to the known coordinate

is calculated automatically. This allows you to see the deviation and approve or disapprove the item. The

measuring history is saved with all the important information.

How does it work?

1. Upload LandXML file with known point for the project.

2. Define the point code that the machine driver is going to use.

3. On the Machine page you can see live when the machine driver has measured and approve /

subdivide the measurement.

Detailed instructions

• Under Files: Upload LandXML file with known point in the project. A known point may be cross

sprayed on the ground, asphalt or metal bolt.

• Go to project settings for the current project and define the following under “Vehicle accuracy

calibration”:

o Select “Enable on this project”

o Define a point code that Infrakit uses to match a measurement with known points file.

o Define a known points file.

o Define tolerance limits and search radius:

- Tolerance limits state what accuracy the project has.

- The search radius is how many meters you want Infrakit to search for metrics around

each known point. We recommend using 5 meters.

o Scroll completely at the bottom and click “Update”.

Use of the function

1. Go to the Machine page and select “Accuracy”.

2. Look for black circles with numbers inside. The number says how many new calibration

measurements have been made.

3. Click the row of the machine

4. Check "Suggested points"

5. Select whether you want to "Approve" the point to save it to the history


55

Integrating Dropbox with Infrakit

To synchronize Dropbox with Infrakit, you need to have administrator role rights to Infrakit to access the

project's admin page. In addition, your organization needs to have Dropbox integration feature enabled. (If

you don't see the Dropbox integration section available in your project's admin page, please contact your

Infrakit contact person to get the feature enabled for your organization.)

TIP: If you have lots of folders and documents on your main Dropbox account you can create new one

and share only folder you are going to synchronize from main account.

Step 1 – Get access token from Dropbox

Login to your Dropbox account, go to https://www.dropbox.com/developers/apps and click “Create app”.

After that Dropbox will redirect you to new page where you can fill information about app. Inside “1.

Choose an API” select “Dropbox API”. After selecting Dropbox API, you need to select "Full Dropbox"

option (App folder is not implemented yet)

Here is a screenshot:

https://www.dropbox.com/developers/apps


56

When app is created you will be redirected to app settings page. On settings page, inside OAuth2 section

you have “Generate access token button”. Click it and save the token value (we will use it in the next

step).

Step 2 – Connect your account

For connection, you should have an existing Infrakit project and Dropbox access token from step 1. Go

to Infrakit Admin (Edit project page) and click “New connection” inside Dropbox connection tab. If you do

not see Dropbox connection tab you should contact Infrakit sales to allow integration inside your company.

Inside New connection form you have two fields:

1. Client identification – Use Dropbox account email

2. Access token – token from step 1

Fill fields and click Login. If login is successful you can map Dropbox folders to Infrakit.

That’s it. Keep in mind that delay before you can see new files in Infrakit can be up to 5 minutes, so

please be patient when you upload new files to Dropbox.

NOTE: When you upload files to Dropbox it can take up to 5 minutes until files show in Infrakit.

Infrakit FIELD™

Infrakit FIELD™ is available on Android for smartphones and tablets. When design engineers visit the site,

they can take Infrakit FIELD™ with them. It will show the project background map and main alignment line

with user position and chainage, using the device's build-in GPS position. It allows opening of any

background map or terrain model, drawing cross sections and showing measured points, even taking

pictures and notes tied to their location with automatic uploading into Infrakit server if changes or other

unexpected situations occur during a project.

Infrakit FIELD™ Android App for phones and tablets

Infrakit FIELD™ Android App is being used to bringing the designs into site. Design engineers use Infrakit

FIELD™ on their Android phones or tablets to see their own position at site compared with their designs.

They can also take notes and pictures and add the information automatically into the Infrakit coordination

model.

During construction work all site personnel use Infrakit FIELD™ to see their position relative to designs

and background map and their calculated chainage position. This is very important at pegless sites, where

modern machine control and automation systems are used. Infrakit FIELD™ have a large number of other

features. Infrakit app for Android devices available for download on Google Play.

Infrakit app can be connected with an external GNSS receiver: Any device that supports the following

methods for location are valid:

• NMEA message over bluetooth or Wifi

• External receiver replaces device position on operating system level

GNSS rovers that we have tested the app with:

• Leica GS14

• Trimble R10 (ntrip, radio)

• Javad Triumph-2 (ntrip)

• CHC i80 (ntrip, radio)

• Altus NR2 (ntrip, radio)

• SatLab SLC (ntrip)

How to create PDF reports

Creating PDFs in Android application can be done if your organization has this feature enabled.

Main screen of the app

First, start off by clicking the first icon from the left in the action bar of the application. After that a features

configuration screen will be shown.

Feature configuration screen

This screen will show only once, and it will guide you to configure all the things that are needed for the

PDF editing and saving of the reports.

There are three main things to do:

1. Grant read/write storage permission to Infrakit application - we need this in order to read/save pdf

files in the phone's storage

2. Install Xodo PDF Reader - this is a 3rd party application that enables you to edit fillable pdf files.

All pdf editing will be done via this application.

3. Grant Xodo permission and verify that it works - here we open the Xodo application, and

immediately it asks for storage permission. After you grant permission to Xodo, return back to

Infrakit and a window will pop off. By proceeding with this feature, you will be again taken to Xodo

and this time a Infrakit picture will be shown. When you see the picture press back again and verify

to Infrakit that you've seen it.

After this, all is set up and ready to go. Now the Report screen is opened.

Report screen

First time here, you will be shown a tutorial that says these things:

1. Select a template - dropdown item where you can see the list of report's templates that you can

choose from.

2. Select a folder - dropdown list of folders where you can choose to which folder do you want to

save your report.

3. Edit - this is a button which you press, and you will be taken to Xodo app with the template file

loaded. You can edit it in Xodo then to save and continue, simply press back until you return to

Infrakit app.

4. View - this is a button which lets you preview current state of the selected report. You will be taken


61

to different application to view the file. Simply press back to return to Infrakit.

5. File name - this is a field where you can enter your desired report's name. You can leave it at

default, but you can also change it to whatever you like.

6. Comment - this is a field used to enter some comments that you have of this report.

7. Lan/Lng - this is a label showing where your reports will be located on the map. (In main screen,

there is option "show reports" that displays saved reports on the map.)

8. Upload - this button finishes the process, uploading your report to the server and taking you back

to the main screen.

Main screen - show reports

On main screen there is one more feature to discuss and that is "show reports" feature.

Show reports displays reports on the map where they were taken. To preview a report simply click on the

pdf icon on your map and select view pdf to preview it in full screen.


62

Connecting Trimble R10 receiver and Infrakit FIELD™Android App


1. Install a SIM-card into R10 for internet connection to make possible to use correction signal.

2. Unpair all devices currently Bluetooth paired with R10.

3. Connect with your computer to Wifi network of R10. Access the control center by browsing to

192.168.142.1

4. Configure R10 to send NMEA messages to Bluetooth port 1.

- Go to I/O configuration / Port configuration

- From dropdown, select: bluetooth 1 and setting: NMEA

- Select: "Maintain configuration when connection is dropped"

- Select appropriate NMEA messages, for example:

GGA, GLL, GNS, GST, GSA (with 1 Hz setting)

- Select: legacy NMEA

- Save -> OK

(Same settings may be done for other bluetooth ports on the device as well.)

5. Set the internet connection working to make it possible to use an NTRIP service.

- Choose GSM/GPRS modem -> Configuration.

- Check : auto restart

- Check: use as default route

- Make connection -> Connect

6. Choose the appropriate NTRIP provider settings:

- Go to I/O configuration / Port configuration

- Choose for example IBSS/NTRIP Client 1

- check: 'Enable' !

- Set the appropriate settings for NTRIP service -> ntripcaster, user, password, mount point..

- Save ->OK

7. It is possible that R10 needs to be restarted and wait for a while for all settings to take an effect.


63

8. When R10 is powered on, InfrakitApp may be connected by first pairing the devices with bluetooth and

then choosing location souce as: 'Bluetooth' from InfrakitApp menu. Since no other devices are paired

with R10, InfrakitApp connects to Bluetooth port 1 and location information is transferred to the device.

NOTE: If after making the above settings, another bluetooth device, for example Trimble's own field

computer is connected with R10 using Bluetooth, the above configured bluetooth settings may get

automatically changed and R10 may possibly stop sending the NMEA messages to bluetooth port 1, for

InfrakitApp to read. For this reason, it is recommended not to connect other bluetooth devices than the

android device containing the infrakitApp after the above settings have been done. If other devices are

connected in between, the bluetooth settings should be re-checked in order to ensure everything works

when reading location information using Infrakit App.


64

Connecting Leica GS14 receiver to Infrakit FIELD™ Android App


1. Check if GS14 supports NMEA out -Connect to GS14 with PC and Leica software or Leica field

computer -Select User → Info/Leica Viva –> GS sensor –> NMEA out:yes

if NMEA out:no. This means that you need to update the receiver to support NMEA out. Contact Leica for

this.

2. Set up GS14 to send NMEA messages via Bluetooth with pc or field computer connected select: -

Device –> Connections –> Other connections –> GS connection –> NMEA 1 Set:

• NMEA messages from GS antenna

• Connect using: GS BT

• Device: RS232

• Messages:GGA,GSA,VTG

3. Pair GS14 with Android device -Android device bluetooth settings -Pair using pin (usually 0000 or

1234). Make sure that GS14 is the only paired device with this Android device. Remove other Bluetooth

devices from the paired list so that GS14 is the only device

4. Open Infrakit Android app Menu –> Select location source –> Bluetooth. After this you can see from

Infrakit apps' surveying tab if there is incoming location from GS14 and what is the pos.type, satellites etc.’

Extra info: GS14 may need to be configured to get corrected location from RTK service. Infrakit app just

gets the location via bluetooth. It depends on the GS14 settings if the location is corrected via service.

Make sure you set the correct stick height in Infrakit app or in Leica software. For example, if you set stick

height with Leica field computer to be 2.0m it needs to be 0 in Infrakit app or vice versa. Best way is to set

stick height 0 in Leica software and control the stick height in Infrakit app (if receiver is used frequently

with Infrakit app).


65

Infrakit Trucks Tracking

Use the Infrakit TRUCK™ app and keep track of movements and activities of your vehicles on Infrakit

OFFICE™.

Infrakit TRUCK™ app

This is a full summary of the Infrakit TRUCK™ app. On Android TRUCK™ application is a part of the

larger Infrakit system and it’s used for tracking and managing project logistics. The app is available on

Google Play

Check for updates

Every time you start the app there is an automatic check if there is a newer version of the app available on

the Google Play store. In the case there is we will force user to update the app, because a new version

gives a better user experience, new features and improvements to the old version. In the case of user not

wanting to update she will be able to check for update manually in the app settings later.


66

Login

You must have an Infrakit account to use the TRUCK™ app. There are two types of accounts when you

are using the TRUCK™ app. The one where user has a vehicle attached to his account and the other

where user doesn’t have a vehicle (you can create vehicles in Infrakit OFFICE™).


67

Select a project

After the user has logged in a project must be selected to continue using the app. After choosing the

project user can use the main functionalities of the app. Everything in the app is project related and this is

why a project must be selected. User can easily change the project in the app settings.

Main functionality – Truck Tracking

Currently there are two modes in the app - Manual and Automatic. These modes are related to the

organization which the user belongs to. You can select which mode you want in Infrakit OFFICE™.

Selected organization mode is valid for all users of that organization.

Manual mode – this means that truck driver has full control over ride. Driver chooses material, volume,

volume unit and task for the ride, and also starts and finishes ride on button press.

Automatic mode (Advanced Trucks) – driver has no control over trip, everything was set up earlier by

fleet manager, the only thing the driver needs to do is drive.

Mode setup


68

This can be done only if user has Super Admin role in Infrakit system. Once logged in, the user selects

the “Admin” option in the upper right corner.

In admin panel go to “Organizations” and click on edit icon on the right side. And click on the edit icon on

the right side of the organization for which you want to set the mode.

Here, select Advanced Trucks (BETA) if you want to use Automatic mode and click Save. If you want to

use Manual mode just leave it unselected.

Manual mode guide


69

Manual mode is set by default in the app and everything related to trips is set by driver (app user). Firstly

driver needs to set material and volume for trip. And after that can run a trip on the map screen.


70

Automatic mode guide

Create load and unload areas for project inside “Trucks” page. When this mode is turned on everything

truck driver needs to do is login to TRUCK™ app. Trips are saved automatically after vehicle first enters

load and after that unload area. Material used for trip is material attached to the unload area. Trip volume

and volume unit are taken from vehicle.

This is how it looks in the app - driver has no options, everything is done in the background:


71

History

History tab is screen where you can view all your trips for the date you select. On this screen user can

also edit and delete existing trips or add new trip manually.


72

Settings

In settings screen the user can see information about user and application, change current project or send

feedback to Infrakit. If the user wants to switch to another account it's possible to logout from the app.

Here the user can also see what is the current application version and he can check if there is an update

on Google Play.


73

Infrakit Additional Modules: Masses & Schedule

Make optimal use of your model-based construction to calculate volumes of filling and cutting and follow

their completion in real-time.

Masses on Infrakit OFFICE™

The “Masses” page will allow to define work tasks for the vehicles, and calculate accurately the volumes

of earthwork between models and current situation in order to track their completion over time In order to

uses the “Masses” page, you need to ensure that you have valid models already saved in the project in

order to calculate the volumes.

Creating a new task


74

In order to create a new task:

• Click the “New Task” button

• Enter the name of the task

• Choose if any calculation, and the base for calculation (model or alignment)

• Create schedule automatically or define starting/ending date or starting/duration for planning.

Once the task is created, it is visible on the “Masses” page and you are able to define its characteristics.

Managing a created task

A task can be calculated in many ways:

• According to an alignment (by choosing the centerline)

• According to an alignment for a specific model (choose then the reference layer)

• According to an alignment for a specific model (choose then the calculation layer)

• By comparing two layers (then define the calculation layer and the reference layer)

• Whatever the calculation method, it can also be defined for a specific section (choose

starting/ending station) and split into finer information (by defining the station interval)


75

Once a task has been defined and calculated, it is to:

• modify it (save/delete/define public or private status/lock for editing)

• track completion of the task: as a section is being completed, tick the square in “completed cut” or

“fill” with its date and the system will automatically calculate the level of completion of the task.


76

Schedule on Infrakit OFFICE™
