Maximizing Sites with Trimble: A Comprehensive Guide
December 19, 2023When accurately leveling an earthmoving project, contractors understand that relying on eyesight alone is not enough. This understanding and innovations in the construction industry led to the development of machine control systems – machines equipped with systems that combine positioning sensors with computer displays to provide operators with better insight and control over their work.
With machine control systems, contractors use the Global Positioning System (GPS) and Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) to receive position and elevation live on job sites.
The Benefits Machine Control Solutions
As a certified Trimble dealership, SITECH Louisiana partners with professionals in the construction industry to deliver solutions designed to increase job site efficiency, safety and ease. One way we achieve this is through our Trimble machine control systems designed to take the guesswork out of earthwork. By implementing machine control technology, contractors and businesses in the construction industry can enhance their performance in several ways, including:
1. Improved Accuracy and Precision
Cutting-edge machine control tech ensures precision on the job site, leading to consistently accurate results. These tools also speed up work, enhance project completion and boost bottom lines by reducing human errors and manual adjustments, resulting in improved efficiency and productivity.
2. Reduced Risks and Enhanced Safety
Machine control systems are vital for preventing workplace accidents, minimizing downtime, reducing compensation costs and avoiding productivity losses and potential OSHA violations. This advanced technology enhances visibility, situational awareness and hazard anticipation, aiding operators in preventing collisions, especially in dynamic job site environments with multiple moving machines, ultimately boosting safety.
3. Optimized Efficiency and Increased Productivity
Machine control systems support job site productivity and efficiency by eliminating the need for surveying, staking and constantly checking work in progress. With these innovative solutions, construction teams can utilize optimized equipment performance to expedite and improve various job site processes.
