Machine control (MC) is widely used in construction to accurately position earthwork machinery based on 3D design models and GNSS receivers. From self-driving trucks to diggers that can automatically grade, MC hardware and software determine a machine’s current position on Earth and compare it with the desired design surface. MC increases productivity on construction job sites, facilitates tracking work performed, and automates field data collection — including real-time cut, fill, volume and compaction data. In the following articles, we showcase the machine control success stories of five companies.
