Grade Control Tech Update

Caterpillar - Cat

A quick overview of how grade control, already indispensable to heavy and civil contractors, is evolving for additional use cases and construction disciplines.

Caterpillar was an early pioneer of grade control with products like Grade with Assist, which automates the bucket and stick to continuously optimize the blade position, helping operators hit grade 45% faster.

How Tech Elevates Safety

Technology transformations improve safe operations on construction sites.

One solution to combat the blind-spot risk is using a real-time awareness and alert system. This combines a sensor tag worn by personnel on the ground which communicates with receivers installed in all the machines and vehicles onsite.

Teletrac Navman Goes Beyond the Dashcam

How Teletrac Navman sits as the market for GPS-enabled fleet management and telematics splinters into subcategories from slap and track to OTR solutions to true enterprise asset management for construction equipment.

Teletrack Navman's new an AI-enabled, dual-camera device that adds value to video imagery by tightly integrating with other data flows in Teletrac’s TN360 fleet management software

Aerial Lifts: Elevating Safely With Stability

New ANSI regulations and technology make scissor lifts and boom lifts even safer.

Sensors actively monitor the machine’s platform load and sound an alarm as well as interrupt normal operations if it is overloaded.

Using BIM to Identify Construction Errors

Using BIM in construction can catch construction errors and lower project costs by exposing inconsistencies early. BIM's capacity to take data and extend its use by giving it significance to other industries can be beneficial to construction contractors.

Twenty-three percent of firms report they are taking steps to improve jobsite performance with lean construction techniques, tools like BIM, and offsite prefabrication, as up to 70% of project changes are a result of design-induced rework recognized much later on site.

Advancements in machine control are bringing improved safety and efficiency to work truck operations.

From the ability to remotely customize cab settings and control attachments to improved diagnostic capabilities and troubleshooting, the benefits of control systems are revolutionizing the construction industry

4 Machine Control Trends

Caterpillar - Cat

Offroad equipment technology is evolving to enable fewer operators with less skill to do more either on site or from a remote, centralized location by automating with a higher degree of accuracy.

The Command console is a lightweight, portable console supported by a shoulder harness. Offering line-of-sight machine control from up to 437 yds. away, it is suited for temporary or emergency remote operation with no on-site communications infrastructure required.
