The Unicontrol 3D machine control system can now be retrofitted to the majority of construction equipment products in Great Britain.
Created
by Danish developers in collaboration with Scandinavian contractors,
Unicontrol’s system has not just been designed with the operator in mind, but
as a platform that grows with end users
through adoption of machine control technology.
The result of this collaborative development approach is a straightforward,
intuitive and user-friendly system that offers operators the ability to
progress through projects with greater speed and precision.
Utilising advanced GPS and 3D modelling technology, Unicontrol’s 3D machine
control system allows operators to work more independently, as the indicative
system provides accurate information on required digging depths, grades and
shapes for the operator to work to.
Designed to be retrofitted to machines, the system represents a retainable
investment for customers, as one of the key advantages of the Unicontrol 3D
machine control system over other competing systems is its versatility, as it
is not tied to any one machine within a customer’s fleet and is designed to be
interchangeable.
Additionally, with the benefits of the system extending far beyond the cab,
Unicontrol uses a powerful cloud-based app to allow customers to manage both
their fleet and projects effectively.
Using the app, a customer’s engineering and fleet management teams can create
entire projects digitally, assign specific machines fitted with Unicontrol’s
system from their fleet to carry out these projects, view insight data from the
machines working on the project and, if required, even make adjustments to the
project as it progresses.
Commenting on SMT GB’s appointment as the largest Unicontrol distributor in Great
Britain, Product Manager John Lawrence states: “The UK market is faced with
many challenges. Making a cost-effective, easy-to-use 3D machine control system
available to construction companies will alleviate some of that pressure.”
Unicontrol Chief Commercial Officer Ehsanullah Ehklas adds: “The UK market
faces the same challenges as the entire industry, shortages of skilled labour,
tighter cost controls and escalating supply chain pressures. A cost-effective,
easy-to-use 3D machine control system will remove some of that pressure, and
ensure that the operator can do their work quickly and safely. SMT GB’s service
level and expertise are an excellent match for us, and we look forward to
introducing the benefits of Unicontrol 3D to the UK market together!”
Concluding, John adds: “Unicontrol 3D provides exactly what the industry has
been looking for – a simple and user-friendly 3D machine control solution. Its
adaptability is key to what I feel makes a great product. Unicontrol was the first
system available for excavators, and has now evolved to offer a blade, wheel
loader and survey rover system. The Unicontrol cloud allows the complete array
of solutions to cohabit seamlessly.”
