Synchronising workflows with machine control

作者：Reka Vasszi

基础工作和美化环境是任何建筑项目的第一阶段。为稳定建筑物准备子铺面，需要几台重建机的同步工作。Leica Geosystems提供了广泛的机器控制解决方案，以提高现场效率和生产率。

JBG Contractors在过去的40年中，澳大利亚一家中型私有公司一直在执行民事工程，拆除和石棉拆除。该公司在各种地点工作，从小型小屋，大型多门店，工业棚屋到悉尼和澳大利亚新南威尔士州南海岸的粘合石棉。

JBG承包商运营经理Phil Butterfield讨论了他在机器控制和Leica Geosystems的现场经验以及如何bob appleiCON solutions在新南威尔士州的Bomaderry废水处理厂工作时，改善了他们的业务。

长期合作伙伴C.R.肯尼迪and devoted customer of Leica Geosystems, JBG Contractors has introduced many developments to increase productivity and ensure safety in the field.

Their fleet of heavy-construction machines includesmore than 50 different apparatus– rollers, dozers, graders, excavators and Posi-Track loaders – equipped with advanced machine control technology, GPS and safety systems.

“We no longer need someone checking with lasers in front of the machines, it is a one-man operation now – that is one of the reasons why we choose machine control solutions from Leica Geosystems,”said Butterfield.

At the moment, JBG Contractorshas 20 machine control systemsin place at the treatment plant, including:

• LeicaiCON GPS 80 machine receiver
• Leica图标GPS 60智能天线
• LeicaiCON robot 50 robotic total station
• LeicaiCON CC80 field construction tablet.

Using the iCON GPS 80 machine rover in combination with iCON GPS 60 Smart Antenna mounted inside the construction equipment, JBG Contractors can increase productivity with machine control applications. The machine control panel is interchangeable between the Posi-Track loaders, graders, excavators and dozers, offers JBG Contractors agreat flexibility to overview the workflow in 3D and quickly change between base and rover按要求。

Besides the efficiency and safety enabled by the machine control systems, iCON robot 50 total stations allow the team toaccurately map out the entire workflow– from detailed earthworks for stormwater ponds to sludge lagoons and pavements.

“With the Leica iCON robotic total stations anything on the planet could be mapped. Basically, you are just not limited to pavements or slaps, any surface you can put down in 3D can also be converted into the machines’ control system,”said Butterfield.

In situations where accuracy is key, JBG Contractors found robotic total stations a great solution to measure with ease of use and, with the iCON CC80 field construction tablet,visualise data in real time.The combination of state-of-the-art Leica Geosystems’ solutions and C.R. Kennedy support exceeded the expectations of JBG Contractors andincreased their productivity, especially in large-scale projects like the groundwork of Bomaderry Wastewater Treatment Plant.

“这确实是无限且轰动一时的装备。老实说，我认为每个建筑公司将来都会运营总站，”bob applesaid Butterfield.
