Smart Construction 3D Machine Guidance
Product highlights and benefits
Accuracy with ease though global connection
No more setting up a laser, grade stakes or bench every time the machine moves. With global navigation satellite system (GNSS), a machine can determine where it is on the job site and what the target grade is to help improve efficiency and drive time savings.
Economical and powerful
Lower the startup costs of bringing technology to your standard excavator — for new and legacy excavators — with compact and modular kits that are professionally-installed and fit most make + models.
Critical insight on demand
Smart Construction 3D Machine Guidance collects as-built data that can be used for reports to customers and data-driven plans. With seamless integration with Smart Construction Dashboard, monitor machine production and job site progress from the office.
More data, less effort
No longer is a GNSS equipped dozer or grade checker needed to keep the excavator on grade; accurate 3D GNSS technology gives the operator all the needed design & position information, so fewer people need to be working on the ground or in the open trench.
Be confident with loads
With the equipped payload monitoring system, avoid major DOT fines from overloaded trucks and the operator has better data about how much material has been moved.

Testimonial
"Smart Construction 3D Machine Guidance gave me more control over what I was doing, and that is great if I need to overcut, undercut, or dig outside the perimeters of the model. It allows you to cut a guy out, so you can can cut your labor in half. Since you aren't guessing while operating and don't have to wait on someone, you can be more accurate and operate faster. You're going to save at least half your time"
