Using technology from Trimble, excavator operators can now view 3D models in a real-world environment at a true-life scale, in the context of existing surroundings.
On the Trimble Earthworks Grade Control Platform display, the model is overlaid onto existing ground. This provides the operator with a better understanding of the work that needs to be done. Visibility of the bucket gives operators better situational awareness to be able to keep surrounding people and objects safer. Users can easily understand 3D models, cut/fill information, slope data and other bench points and reference points in context, without the need to interpret complex 2D plans or stakes.
Trimble says that its Earthworks package is designed to allow the user to do more in less time. Reengineered from the ground up, this innovative, next-generation grade control platform is said to offer intuitive, easy-to-learn software that runs on an Android operating system. And state-of-the-art software and hardware give operators, of all skill levels, the ability to work faster and more productively.
Trimble Earthworks is now available in a subscription model with flexible terms to modernise equipment with no large upfront cost.
