Trimble’s smart machine control system for compact machines
First published in bauma Preview - March 12, 2019
Trimble is introducing its novel Earthworks GO! package, aimed at use with compact machines. This innovative system provides a 2D grade control solution for use with compact machine grading attachments. According to the firm, this package allows high-accuracy grading in an easy-to-use, portable platform. This compact machine control solution runs on Android or iOS smartphones, making it easy to use by site personnel.
The firm says that its package can be used by contractors involved in general construction, site preparation and utility work for grading flat and simple slopes. The system utilises laser technology to provide dynamic, real-time position information that allows the operator to grade or cut profiles quickly and accurately. The platform requires little training time and can increase an operator’s productivity up to 20%.
The package comes with software that guides the operator through installation, setup and operating modes. Contractors can save machine profiles to the system to ensure that each grading attachment only has to be setup once, making it quick and easy to move between different machines in a fleet.
