Smart Construction 3DMG Flex

Smart Construction 3D Machine Guidance Flex is an easy and cost-effective way to add GNSS capabilities to most machines or vehicles in a fleet for as-built-data collection (when used with 3D design software like Smart Construction Dashboard) and operator guidance. The system can be especially valuable when used on scrapers, trucks and supervisor trucks.
By monitoring the jobsite through as-built data gathered from machines or vehicles equipped with 3D Machine Guidance Flex, site managers can make more informed decisions about the project and communicate progress more efficiently. Additionally, operators can work more efficiently and without the need for grade checkers or surveyors, thanks to the using the in-cab guidance feature.

Product highlights and benefits

Critical insights
Critical insights

3D Machine Guidance Flex collects as-built data as the machine or vehicle traverses the jobsite. Adding this as-built data to 3D visualization software like Smart Construction Dashboard enables advanced and insightful visualizations and analysis of jobsite progress compared to plan and machine production. 

Increase accuracy and productivity

An in-cab tablet displays the machine or vehicle along with the jobsite plan and design surface, providing guidance to the operator and enabling them to work more independently and efficiently.

Nearly universal installation
Nearly universal installation

Smart Construction 3D Machine Guidance Flex can be installed on most machines or vehicles in a fleet in as little as one day. Imagine the productivity boost with 3D guidance for a scraper, or the comprehensive data captured by a pickup or wheel loader.

Decisions backed by data
Decisions backed by data

With more as-built data, the more you can know your job site progress and the more accurately you can work. By using 3D Machine Guidance Flex to gather this data, and then pairing with Smart Construction Dashboard to view and analyze the data, you can make better decisions, faster – helping you get jobs done on time and on budget.

FAQ

3D Machine Guidance Flex monitors accurate GNSS position information of the bottom of the wheels or tracks.
As 3D Machine Guidance Flex moves around a jobsite, existing topographic data is recorded as as-built data and can be displayed on the in-cab screen. When paired with Smart Construction Dashboard, this as-built data will automatically upload to an assigned Dashboard jobsite. A cellular SIM Card will be required for connectivity to utilize this Dashboard function.
Smart Construction Pilot Flex is the software application for Android used by the operator that runs the 3D Machine Guidance Flex system from the machine or vehicle. Smart Construction Pilot (Web) is the complimentary web-based companion application of 3D Machine Guidance Flex that provides addition features remotely, such as recording machine files and data, tracking machines or vehicles, and converting job files.
Any device for Android can be used with 3D Machine Guidance Flex. (Stronger processing power recommended)
Xml, tp3, gc3, ln3, dxf, tfm, svd, dsz, and cal are all supported file formats. A free file converter tool, Smart Construction Pilot (Web), will convert these to the supported rpz format for 3D Machine Guidance Flex. Smart Construction Pilot (Web) is available for free above.
There is no subscription fee required. The Smart Construction Pilot Flex app can be downloaded for free from the Google Play store. We recommend connecting with your local Komatsu Distributor to install the 3D Machine Guidance Flex system before installing the Smart Construction Pilot Flex app.
3D Machine Guidance Flex can be installed on most machines or vehicles in a fleet with tracks or wheels. For questions related to machine and vehicle compatibility, please reach out to your local Komatsu Distributor for more information.
3D Machine Guidance Flex can utilize a VRS network for corrections data. To utilize this function, a cellular SIM Card will be required for connectivity.
An operator can create flat, 2-point sloping, and 3-point sloping surfaces in the app, from the cab of the machine or vehicle.
3D Machine Guidance Flex can integrate with Smart Construction Dashboard to monitor job site progress and visualize as-built data. It can also integrate with Smart Construction Remote for remote support and file transfer directly from the office.
Please reach out to your local Komatsu Distributor for questions related to pricing and installation.
