Companies are continuing to enhance the use of technology with integrated RTK GPS, IMUs, and telematics through cloud applications to help the earth-moving industry continue to grow and evolve. These technologies will assist earth-moving companies by providing updated digital terrain models that can provide employees with more efficient working methods, and to reduce the amount of time that companies use to do surveying and rework due to non-compliance with geotechnical specifications. As a result, this type of technology can provide a direct benefit to the company's bottom line.
A hybrid and electric drivetrain combined with machine autonomy, along with the opportunity to predict the maintenance of a machine, creates new productivity and sustainability opportunities that never existed before in the earth-moving machine industry. Earth-moving machines enable building grading to create infrastructure, such as constructing an office or constructing a highway from one part of the mountain to another. The earth-moving equipment that is moving the soil from one area to another provides a foundation to build a better world for those who will use our buildings and roads.
