According to Aaron Marsh, Komatsu Australia’s spokesman, SmartConstruction allows Komatsu to integrate a host of game-changing technologies for the benefit of its customers.
“We are now able to provide an end-to-end solution for our customers across construction, quarrying and mining,” he said.
SmartConstruction covers critical steps in a project’s development, from initial site survey and design, through to machine control management, machine inter-connectivity and review of project progress during the construction phase, and finally development of detailed as-built information for future construction and infrastructure maintenance.
It covers four key areas: unmanned aerial vehicle drone service, covering initial site survey, along with cut/fill and stockpile calculations, as well as ongoing progress tracking and site logistics; 3D data conversion of 2D and 3D data files to formats suitable for machine control applications; Komconnect cloud-based service, bringing together the information relating to a project; and support services, like remote monitoring, file transfer and operating training plus more.
“It’s the next big step in construction industry management technology,” he said.
