What is Machine Control?
The use of technology based on GNSS, total stations
and lasers to guide or to control a dozer or excavator.
By the use of this technology you accurately guide and position the
machine to improve efficiency and productivity, reducing your
operating costs and optimising material usage and above all
increasing your site safety. The use of machine control reduces the
need for people to work in and around the equipment removing
your staff away from the danger area.
There is a machine control digging solution to suit your changing
needs. Move from a Leica Basic Digging System to Leica
Geosystems' level and cross slope solution Leica iCON excavate 31.
You can even upgrade to a complete Leica iCON excavate 41 3D
solution using TPS and GNSS technology.
Integrated solutions are the key to success on every construction site
Asphalt, concrete or earth, shifting it or laying it. Whether
you need simple laser height detection for excavators or
need to control a concrete slipform paver to millimetres,
ESS can help you optimise site productivity with
a complete range of machine automation solutions.
To precisely stake out a construction site, perform control
measurements, collect height and angle data, align concrete forms,
install ceilings and partitions, lay gravity flow pipe, locate
underground services or complete site preparation and earthworks -
ESS provides the right instrument for your construction
application.
The use of further technology similar to telematics allows the site
engineer to remotely send data to and from the control box and
when required provide remote assistance to the operator again
negating the need to have an engineer wandering around site on
foot. When site supervision is required, the use of the supervisor
tool mounted inside a truck will provide the Engineer and site
management real-time results from the field, providing accurate
information to allow for decisions to be made quickly to ensure
you optimise your fleet and improve your efficiency and
productivity levels.
ESS Safeforce offer a full range of easy to use machine guidance systems. Combining a rotating laser or grade
laser with an excavator mounted laser receiver and optional in cab display makes simple levelling and grading
applications simpler, faster and more efficient.
