Assist technologies provide operators with automated support functions that help improve accuracy and reduce effort during everyday machine tasks. Depending on the machine type, features may include automated boom and bucket movements, steering assistance, stability control and integrated payload indicators. These systems are designed to make operation easier, more consistent and more comfortable.
Command refers to remote and semi-autonomous operating technologies that allow operators to control machines from a safe distance. These systems can help reduce risk in high-hazard environments and improve productivity when visibility or accessibility is limited. Command solutions are commonly used in mining, construction and industrial applications.
Compact technologies use sensors and real-time guidance to help operators achieve precise compaction results. These systems monitor pass counts, material stiffness and compaction coverage, giving operators better visibility into progress and helping reduce over- or under-compaction. They are especially useful in road construction and earthworks.
Detect technologies are designed to enhance job site awareness and support safer operating practices. They may include cameras, proximity sensors, object detection alerts and 360° visibility systems. Detect solutions help reduce blind spots, minimize incidents and assist operators in making safer decisions.
Grade control technologies assist operators in achieving the correct grade, slope and depth with greater accuracy. Depending on the system, this may include laser, GPS or total station guidance, as well as automated blade or boom adjustments. Grade solutions reduce rework, improve material usage and help deliver a more precise final result.
Payload systems measure material weights in real time, helping operators load more effectively and consistently. These tools can support faster truck loading, reduce under- or over-loading, and improve cycle times. Data collected by Payload systems can also be used to monitor productivity and plan operations more effectively.
