Machine Control is a revolutionary technology that uses GPS, positioning sensors, software and displays to enable precise and accurate positioning of heavy construction machinery in a wide variety of construction applications including grading, paving, trenching, and drilling.

The cost associated with investing in machine control is worth it. The systems allow jobs to be done faster, more accurately, with less fuel, and with fewer people – thereby proving to be an extremely cost-effective investment.

Enhanced precision and accuracy

The most significant advantage of machine control systems is their ability to enhance precision and accuracy. More traditional methods rely on manual intervention, which can lead to inconsistencies. Machine control systems eliminate this issue by automating the process and providing real-time data feedback to inform future decision-making.

Increased productivity

A machine control systems ability to automate tasks and provide real-time feedback enables operators to work more efficiently. A more seamless operation allows for a faster project completion and the ability to complete more work within a specific timeframe.

Reduced costs in the long-term

With enhanced precision and increased productivity, there will be a notable reduction in material waste, less time spent on the project, with fewer errors and rework necessary. The initial investment in machine control will be quickly offset by the cost saving benefits, making it a cost-effective solution in the long-term.

Enhanced safety 

The safety of the team is a crucial concern for any project, and machine control systems play an important role in improving job site safety. By automating tasks that would otherwise require elements of manual intervention, workers are not exposed to potentially dangerous situations.

Data-driven decision making 

Machine control systems allow for the use of real-time data. This data can be used for project adjustments and resource allocation, aiding the overall efficiency of the project and ensuring the strict project timelines are adhered to. A data-driven approach not only ensures that the work is completed successfully and on-time, but also is continuously improved upon.
