Getting It Right The First Time With iDig Grade Control For Excavator

The best grade control for excavator in the market

Adding grade control to your excavator comes with a host of benefits. It saves time by getting you to grade faster, reduces or eliminates overcutting and re-work, and can cut labour costs by negating the need for a grade checker. However, for many contractors, justifying the cost when margins are tight enough as it is can be a challenge. iDig is a lower-cost, versatile grade checking system that can be fitted to any make, model or size of excavator and work with multiple buckets, including tilt buckets and augers. There are also options for non-centre pivot machines. “This system is a game changer for contractors that want the benefits of grade control on their excavator, but can’t justify

Be alert, not alarmed: Enhanced autonomous monitoring in near real-time scenarios

Geotechnical practitioners need to monitor and forecast a collapse to minimise the risk of injury and damage to employees, equipment, and operations Near-real time decisions could be made regarding potential evacuations of mining or plant. The ability to not only understand long-term trends and patterns, but to detect sudden movement in near real-time is fundamental to monitoring critical assets Is it enough to be sent a text message or an email when an instrument indicates a significant ground movement? What if you could be sent an image to show you exactly what was going on when the movement occurred? Furthermore, what if you could have sensors autonomously increase their observation rate based on pre-determined criteria? Get your FREE whitepaper
