Learn More About Machine Control

Machine control systems are a necessary tool in the construction industry. They use adaptive technology that calculates the position of the machine, like an excavator or a dozer, to provide accurate position and grade information for your project. At Dobbs Positioning Solutions, we provide machine control options that can integrate into your existing equipment regardless of brand or manufacturer to improve its performance and overall efficiency.

These machine control systems are beneficial for various construction applications, including:

  • Earthmoving
  • Utilities
  • Milling
  • Paving
  • Compacting
  • Mining and aggregate production
  • Material processing

Explore the Best Automated Machine Control Options Available

Machine control systems have progressed over the years. The latest advancements pave the way for ground-breaking platforms, though entry-level machine control technology remains relevant, especially in smaller construction jobs. Our machine control systems available with Topcon and John Deere SmartGrade are categorized into two groups:

  • 2D machine control: When it comes to affordability, 2D machine control systems win by a mile. These products feature sonic sensors, laser receivers, or rotary lasers that help eliminate guesswork and provide accurate vertical measurements on the job. 2D machine control systems are ideal for projects that are less complex, such as simple pads and slopes. Aside from being an economical option, these products can also be added to 3D systems on the same machine to provide the ultimate flexibility for when the job calls for 2D operation.
  • 3D machine control: If you want top-tier technology that has all the elements of 2D systems and more, 3D machine control is a great investment. These systems handle complex engineered site plans and take precision to the next level. 3D systems include global navigation satellite systems (GNSS), robotic total station systems (LPS), 3D lasers, and GNSS enhancements such as mmGPS systems.

The adaptive machine control calculates where a machine is on the job and instantly compares it with the site plan 3D model to determine grade and slope information for the machine. This makes automated grading a breeze and allows all operators to be more productive and focus on safety and other machine functions to increase productivity.

Enjoy the Benefits of Machine Control

There are many reasons why integrating automated machine control systems into your fleet is a worthy investment, including:

Exact measurement is the essence of machine control. The accurate calculations limit human errors, allowing machine operators to accomplish tasks effectively the first time.

Machine control focuses on improving accuracy and precision, which in turn optimizes processes. Workers will complete jobs on schedule and enable you to meet your project milestones on time.

When projects are carried out without delay, you benefit from more than just an improved project timeline. Faster completion, less rework, and reduced diesel consumption correspond to higher revenue and a greater competitive edge in the market.

Machine control technology limits the waste of costs and resources from rework. It accomplishes this goal by ensuring precise calculations for better control of materials and labor.

Handling large equipment like bulldozers, excavators, or motor graders can be tricky. Integrating machine control allows operators to focus on safe operation and lets the system perform the complex tasks of grading the site to plan.
