Analysis software WM-Form®

mappingplanningirrigation management

Product overview
WM-Form is landforming design software that assists agronomists and contractors in creating optimised field-level designs for improved water distribution, drainage and machine-controlled earthworks while minimising disturbance to topsoil. The software integrates with PTx Trimble displays and compatible fieldforming systems for operational execution.

Why choose WM-Form?

• Optimise water distribution and drainage — opens up farmable area for more uniform production and reduces erosion and flooding risk by planning surface slopes and outlets.
• End-to-end workflow — integrates with PTx Trimble displays and WM-FieldForm or FieldLevel II systems for surveying, design, reporting and machine control.
• Supports large implements and multi-product applications — handles complex field geometries and variable slopes for furrow irrigation.

A comprehensive landforming approach
Based on over 30 years of water-management experience from PTx Trimble, WM-Form provides tools for surveying, topography analysis, design generation, earthworks reporting and export of control files for machine implementation.

• Survey the field using your PTx Trimble display.
• Create the landforming design with WM-Form design software.
• Execute the formation using WM-FieldForm or FieldLevel II systems on the implement or machine.
• Verify completed design with the WM-Survey II app.

Specifications

• Grade fields with single or multiple planes using best-fit or custom planes, or multiple hinges.
• Drain water in any direction or to a linear feature such as a ditch or existing drainage network.
• Create multi-direction variable slope designs to optimise surfaces for furrow irrigation.
• Define section lines and design each section individually.
• Generate multiple design variations and compare them in 3D against original topography.
• Produce cut/fill estimates and detailed earthworks reports.

Technical specifications
