Trimble Siteworks Machine Guidance Module is redefining the construction landscape by offering unparalleled precision and cost-effectiveness for smaller contractors, delivering a transformative solution that maximises efficiency and accuracy on the job site.
In a recent interview with EEM, SITECH Solutions’ Sales Manager, Grant Hibburd, shares insights into the new Trimble Siteworks machine guidance module, a game-changing technology in the construction industry for smaller contractors.
Highlights the module’s versatility, Hibburd says: “The new Trimble Siteworks machine guidance module allows a rover to be attached to an excavator, enabling a smaller contractor to get into machine control easily and at a cheaper price point.”
The technology showcased by Sitech Solutions at the Diesel Dirt & Turf Expo in April is centered around the Trimble Siteworks Machine Guidance Module. Comprising a Trimble Smart Antenna and a sensor on the excavator's digger, along with the user-friendly Trimble Siteworks software interface, this innovation marks a significant stride in construction technology.
Unveiled initially at the Diesel Dirt & Turf Expo, outside of CONEXPO, the module's standout feature, as highlighted by Hibburd, is its adaptability. It can be detached from the machine, transforming into a handheld device for general rover applications or affixed to the machine to achieve precise excavation within a 20mm accuracy, thanks to the Trimble Smart Antenna and the digger sensor.
The Trimble Siteworks Software, enriched with the machine guidance module, allows seamless transitions between on-machine operations and surveying in minutes. This versatility aids in tasks such as grade checking, layout, and machine operations across diverse construction sites.
The cost-effective Trimble Siteworks Machine Guidance Module serves as an appealing solution for contractors aiming to digitize their construction sites. Its affordability, coupled with portability, positions it as an attractive two-in-one solution for machine guidance and layout.
Key benefits of the module include its fast and flexible nature, enabling quick switches between machine guidance and surveying. Its reliability and accuracy stem from the combination of data collection and Trimble machine guidance systems. The user-friendly interface of the Trimble Siteworks software contributes to its ease of use. Built to withstand extreme job site conditions, the module enhances the ability to create projects in the field. Additionally, it allows seamless import and export of design data in LandXML format.
The Trimble Siteworks Machine Guidance Module not only serves as a potent surveying tool on and off the machine but also signifies a shift towards more affordable and flexible construction technology solutions. This shift empowers contractors to achieve higher efficiency and accuracy in their projects.
