将智能结构提升到新的水平

Author:Karina Lumholt

的影响ction industry, one of the largest and most dynamic industries in the world, is also one of the least digitalised ones. This industry is facing major challenges – on average80 per cent of all construction projects are over budget and overrun schedule by 20 per cent。2014年，Surety信息办公室估计，在2011年至2013年之间，四分之一的建筑公司破产了。

The future of the construction industry seems to demand additional construction work with more complex designs and execution. Environmental concerns and green construction will further push the industry to work in a more efficient way. International trends, such as automation, shortage of skilled machine operators, and millennials entering the workforce and expecting more digital systems, will further create a demand for digital tools.

的影响ction industry is, in other words,ripe for digitalisationand Geosystems’ machine control is ready to support by developing new game-changing platforms to help companies prepare for the digital disruption.

An evolution in machine control

Geosystems has developed a new revolutionising horizontal platform for all solutions. The newLeica MC1software supports the digitisation of the heavy construction industry by offering one software solution platform to automatically guide and control all heavy construction machines.

The new software smoothens data handling and is open toall standard data types, enabling a flexible dataflow to support all workflows on a job site. It is carried by the rugged new hardware platform – theLeica MCP80panel and MDS Series docking station, ensuring an interchangeable panel between machines on a job site. The new platform isfully supportedby digital collaboration software tools, such as the cloud-basedLeica ConX。

Cloud-enabled digital collaboration

Personnel and machines on the jobsite need to share the same data and stay in sync with changes so work can be completed on time, on budget and to specification. ConX is an open and user-friendly data handling platform that increases collaboration control operations by:

• Integrating and automating workflows
• Permitting remote control of connected machines
• Enabling real-time data exchange from the office to the field and back.

ConX also allows users toshare and visualisepositioning, reference model and constructed data. Field and machine control solutions connected to ConX can remotely receive and share information and access theweb interface for visualising the data anywhere with internet access。

Manage, monitor and share construction and survey data in real time

All customers will be able to benefit from the new platform consisting of the MCP80 panel, MDS Series docking station, MC1 software, and ConX data handling tool. Smaller construction companies will benefit from the ease of use of the new intuitive user interface with integrated help functions and remote support via ConX. The new machine control solutionsintegrate seamlessly凭借较旧的解决方案，客户得到了市场上最大的支持网络的支持。

Claus Agger Sørensen from VG Entreprenør in Denmark explains:“I have the entire dataflow at my fingertips, and via ConX, I can support and help my machine fleet remotely, even when I am working in another part of the country.”

ConX ensures that all machines and personnelhave the same data at the same time in real time。这可以最大程度地减少错误和昂贵的返工，并确保更多正常运行时间。

Precision matters

Precision matters是一个关键的座右铭呈规则——该组织的long-time solid footprint in the surveying industry has proved it. For larger construction companies, it is important to work with a partner that has a profound knowledge of all workflows in a complex construction process.

“我们很快意识到，至关重要的是要拥有真正强大的售后服务和支持。我们需要一个我们可以依靠的人来进行指导和培训，但是除此之外，我们还需要一个知道我们所涉及的工作以及哪些技术可以帮助我们做得更好的人 - 具有创新想法的人，我们可以与之合作的人，有人来为我们创新，”said Phil Butterfield, operation manager at JBG Contractors in Australia.

Part of something bigger

The long-time use of synergies to leverage technology across divisions and the cooperation with other Hexagon divisions has proved very successful.

Tokeep people and machinery safe and productive, Geosystems’ machine control developed in conjunction with Hexagon Mining the new Leica iCON Personal Alert System (PA) and Visual Aid System (VA) series, which will be implemented in the Leica iCON portfolio by 2019. The iCON PA and VA series will integrate seamlessly with the MC1 and Leica MCP platforms to help prevent accidents.

Machine control solutions leverage cloud and digitalised construction technologies with simpler and intuitive interfaces. This helps users to finish construction projects faster, safer, and with lower costs, higher accuracy and more efficient use of resources.
