Watch the plan before the dirt moves.

Iron Table is the site in three dimensions, worked by machines drawn to their makers' sheets. Every run is a record and a film, whether it replays recorded work or plays out a plan. It is one of the mule.bot tools that Iron Context ties together.


01 · What it is

A table a crew and an engineer can both read

The site

The ground comes from the site's own surfaces or from public elevation data. It is drawn as it stands, and it changes as the machines work it.

The machines

Each machine is a model built from its maker's published sheet and rigged at its working joints, so a blade, a boom or a body moves the way the machine's does.

The record

Every frame is drawn from a record of the run. The instrument card on screen quotes that record: gear, slip, load, and the blade against its target.

02 · A look inside

A dozer strips topsoil to a windrow

The dozer works ground that moves under the blade. The card beside it reads alignment, bite, gear and slip from the record of the run. The same view replays recorded work or plays out a plan that has not been driven yet.

Worked examples for the teams we work with

Films of the work

Stripping, pile pushing, scraper cut and fill, truck dumping and yard moves, each with the record it was drawn from.

Reference traces

One site followed from the public record to a test result, with the table as the place the result is seen.

Your plan on the table

How a plan or a recorded shift is brought to the table, and what it needs to carry.

04 · Where it sits

One of the tools above the machine

Iron Context is all of the mule.bot tools and the written interface between each pair, so any one of them can be replaced by yours. Iron Table reads from and writes to its neighbours.
