Machine control solutions for automated construction

Built on decades of innovation, Trimble machine and grade control systems help to improve accuracy, productivity, safety and quality on the jobsite. Gain precision and efficiency across every phase of your project.

What is machine control, and how does it work?

Machine control systems combine positioning sensors with computer displays to give operators better insight into and control over their work. Use cases include:

  • Enable operators to accurately position buckets, blades and other implements while eliminating the need for surveying, staking and constantly checking work in progress.

  • Utilize labor and equipment efficiently to reduce costs and minimize wear-and-tear.

  • Improve connectivity between teams and disciplines by sharing model data and information on work performed.

Machine control systems are growing increasingly autonomous, and the next generations will likely include innovations like artificial intelligence, machine learning and 5G.
