Doosan’s new XiteCloud is the first stage in commercialising Concept-X, an unmanned automated and integrated control solution for construction, quarrying and mining sites which was introduced by the South Korean company in 2019.
Doosan says the launch of the new-gen Xitecloud platform is part of the further expansion of its business portfolio into the field of construction site management, to complement its existing operations in manufacturing and sales of construction equipment.
With XiteCloud, a customer can manage multiple tasks such as surveys, terrain analysis, machine purchases, equipment operation and construction management on a single platform. Doosan says this reduces construction costs and saves time, while increasing work accuracy, which in turn raises productivity.
XiteCloud is also claimed to allow customers to manage multiple projects on a single platform, accumulating and managing data that can be utilised for future decision making/business.
The platform introduces a range of new solutions that form part of the XiteCloud covering many aspects of construction management, including XiteCore, XiteFleet, XiteAnalyst, XiteSIM, XiteSafety, and XiteAuto.
XiteCore is a cloud-based open integrated dashboard system that connects all of the XiteCloud solutions, to provide the information needed to carry out a construction project and enable easy project management and control.
Doosan says this system provides opportunities for collaboration/communication among project participants with an open platform that adopts an applied card-type interface that allows the user to set the dashboard flexibly according to the particular characteristics of the project (such as type, location, and size).
It also incorporates real-time monitoring of weather, manpower, equipment, instruments, CCTV and other aspects, together with connection to the other solutions within XiteCloud such as XiteFleet and XiteAnalyst.
In addition to several contracts awarded in South Korea and elsewhere around the world, XiteCloud has gone through a technology verification process at multiple international construction, mining, and quarrying sites.
