3D Machine Guidance Flex

On a modern construction site, the more data you collect — especially as-built data — the more precisely you know your job progress and more confidently you can make key decisions. Smart Construction 3D Machine Guidance Flex adds the capability to collect as-built data from nearly any machine, such as a scraper, loader or pickup.

Acquire as-built data from any machine

As-built data and a 3D mapping program such as Smart Construction Dashboard provide invaluable insights and analysis daily. With Smart Construction 3D Machine Guidance Flex, you can collect as-built data from any machine and offer operator guidance via an in-cab tablet.

A tablet mounted in the cab shows the operator the current topography laid over the 3D design to guide them towards the finished product.

As the machine moves about the job site, it constantly maps the terrain. Adding this as-built data to 3D visualization software, you can know exactly how much work has been done and how it compares to the digital project plan.
Use on any machine
Use on any machine

The system is ideal for scrapers, loaders and light vehicles but can be installed on almost any machine, regardless of brand. Installation takes just about one day. Note that the system measures and displays terrain at the machine’s wheels/tracks, not blade.
Use case: Mass excavation
Use case: Mass excavation

Because the operator has constant position data of their machine versus the design, they can move large amounts of material without the need for a grade checker. And they see where to dig and when to stop to prevent over-digging.
Use case: Site monitoring
Use case: Site monitoring

Site managers can constantly monitor elevations around the jobsite using the as-built data from 3D Machine Guidance Flex using Smart Construction Dashboard. Managers can catch mistakes, like mis-fillings, and calculate the daily production volume.
Use case: Large machine grading
Use case: Large machine grading

Rough grading done by larger machines (typically not equipped with a GNSS solution) can be much more accurate, enabling you to deploy grade checkers elsewhere, increasing job site efficiency and productivity.

Add 3D guidance to legacy excavators

Smart Construction 3D Machine Guidance adds accuracy, control and optimized operation to conventional excavators, affordably. It also collects as-built data.
