\"idigAs the Australian and New Zealand distributor for iDig<\/a>, Aptella is helping contractors maximise their profits, by optimising the use of machines and increasing excavator productivity.<\/p>\n

iDig<\/a> 2D machine control systems are simple but technically advanced tools designed specifically for excavators, to provide real-time (with no delay) indication of depth, distance and slope.<\/p>\n

Real-time<\/strong> depth indication: Enter your desired depth and iDig will guide you there.<\/p>\n

Real-time<\/strong> slope indication: Enter your, positive or negative slope and percentage on x:y, and iDig will guide you there \u2013 it can even calculate relative slope if required.<\/p>\n

Real-time<\/strong> distance indication: Place the bucket teeth on the starting point, enter your desired digging distance, and iDig’s horizontal LEDS will guide you there.<\/p>\n

This highly portable and affordable excavator control system enables operators to do everything from within the cab \u2013 removing the need for a grade checker or surveyor, and reducing waste fuel and machine downtime by eliminating the necessity of getting out of the cab to check the grade or dig site.<\/p>\n

The iDig setup requires no welding, thanks to sensors that are directly fitted to the boom by a highly adhesive 3M solution; it involves no wiring along the arm, as it\u2019s connected to the cab control box by radio; and it\u2019s solar-powered so needs no recharging. Its real-time technology also ensures that grade calculation is immediately displayed, with information conveyed seamlessly to the operator via a coloured LED indicator.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe iDig control system is set to revolutionise the way excavation occurs<\/a> on job sites across Australia and New Zealand,\u201d predicts Martin Nix, Aptella\u2019 CEO. \u201cBecause one iDig system can be used for an entire fleet of machines, which is ideal for contractors since different jobs require different machines and different buckets. Your one iDig system can go from excavator to mini to backhoe, and once set up, it will recognise more than 100 different machines and buckets.\u201d<\/p>\n

Joel Seddon, Aptella\u2019 Machine Systems Product Manager adds, \u201ciDig has been built specifically as a 2D system for 2D applications on any job sites \u2013 it is not a 3D system with 3D technology simply taken out of it \u2013 so it\u2019s very intuitive, and extremely simple to use, thanks to the large icons, 800 x 480 pixel resolution, and highly responsive 7\u201d touch screen.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen placed on a mini or large excavator, the iDig machine control system enables you to carry the benchmark with you, including height and slope guidance, across an entire job site; it completely negates the need for a grade checker or standalone laser receiver on your machine,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Optional accessories are also available, including chassis sensors for non-centre pivot machines, additional boom sensors, and tilt bucket sensors.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
