Xpanner launches Shake-Out GNSS-guided pile-distribution retrofit
Xpanner launched Shake-Out, an available-now retrofit that gives skid-loader operators GNSS guidance for distributing piles on utility-scale solar sites while logging counts, locations and progress to Xpanner Connect.
Evidence notes
- The brand-agnostic retrofit mounts a rugged tablet and guidance system on skid loaders without requiring a dedicated survey-marking team.
- Operators receive visual and audio guidance to target points, with configurable distance and angle tolerances for site requirements.
- Pile placements synchronise to Xpanner Connect as an as-built record with progress by block, row and pile type.
