在机器控制技术方面更聪明,更有效

Case study

作者:Per Norell

1989年,汤米·伯恩斯森(Tommy Berntsson)创立了Lerbergs Entreprenad AB,自2000年以来他就使用了机器控制。今天,Lerbergs Entreprenad使用了Leica Geosystems的大部分技术和服务。

“When we make investments, we always choose what we consider to be the best solution. I have been a Leica Geosystems customer for over 20 years, and I feel confident about the technical solutions and support”,explains Berntsson, the company’s vice president.

Lerbergs Entreprenad is located in Kungsbacka, in Sweden and offers all types of building and heavy construction work. In many of the projects, Lerbergs Entreprenad acts as sub-contractor for larger companies such as Skanska, NCC, Peab, Implenia, Serneke and Veidekke. The machine fleet consists of 25 excavators, wheel loaders and trucks. The vast majority of machines consists of excavators.

汤米Berntsson有很多麻吉的经验ne control.“We started using machine control 20 years ago. I realised at an early stage that we could work smarter and more efficiently even when the technology was not as developed as it is today. At that time, we worked with rotating lasers and later on with one and two slope laser control without GPS. A lot has happened the past 20 years, and it feels gratifying to have been part of this development”,伯恩森说。


Exploring the PowerSnap technology



丹尼尔·劳里森(Daniel Laurison)在他的250e沃尔沃挖掘机中。

Daniel Laurison is an excavator operator and works on the Varberg tunnel project as a sub-contractor for the company Implenia. He drives a tracked Volvo 250E excavator and has used Leica Geosystems’MCP80panel and theMC1 softwaresince 2019.

劳里森(Laurison)发现MCP80面板非常实用,尤其是PowerSNAP功能,可以简单而快速地交换不同机器之间的面板。

“The MC1 machine control solution has a larger display than the old panel, and it is very robust which is an advantage when working in harsh environments. The main advantage for me is the docking station, so that I can quickly take the panel with me. I always remove the panel from the machine, when the day is over and lock it up for safety reasons”, explains Laurison.

可互换的Leica MCP80面板以及多功能Leica MC1 3D机器控制软件都开发用于所有重型机器,包括:

  • Excavators and loaders
  • Dozers and graders
  • Pavers, cold planers and rollers
  • 钻机和桩裤
  • Snowgroomers.

While working on the Varberg tunnel project, Laurison benefitted from the cable-free panel with multi-touch screen and hard buttons. Thanks to the easy-to-use interface, compatibility with various heavy equipment and design, he could mount the panel quickly on every different types of machines.“The advantage of MC1 is the easy-to-use interface and the logical order of the project files. The panel gives a good overview of the different categories without going into several submenus to find the right model to work with”, says Laurison.


Better overview of the jobsite with machine control



Lerbergs Entreprenad已成为Leica Geosystems客户已有20多年了。

丹尼尔·劳里森(Daniel Laurison)的同事吉姆·哥特森(JimGötthesson)从事了一个完全其他类型的项目,即考古发掘。吉姆(Jim)驾驶了沃尔沃(Volvo)235E轨道挖掘机,并且还没有从Leica Geosystems获得的新机器控制解决方案获得很多经验。

“在这个特定的项目上,与在沟渠,基础或斜坡上工作相比,我没有太多的机器控制。我对MC1的第一手印象是它是一个非常敏捷的软件,您可以在模型中四处走动,并在显示屏上查看整个工作现场。我得到了更好的概述,感觉更像是一张真正的图画”, explains Götthesson.

Götthesson also explained that he enjoys learning new technologies, especially with the MC1, it is easy to navigate and the software is intuitive enough to shorten the learning curve.

"I have used the old technology for a long time, and I know it very well, but it is part of the development to learn new things. When you get a new software, there is always quite a lot to learn",said Götthesson.


卫星定位不再需要靠近基站



结合机器控制解决方案的Leica GeoSystems图标组合,HXGN SmartNet,Hexagon的GNSS校正服务,指南和控制地球设备,用于精确挖掘,分级和铺路。bob体育报道HXGN SmartNet拥有全球超过4,500个参考站,提供24/7服务的覆盖范围。

Lerbergs Entreprenad将其一些机器订阅到SmartNet,并接受GNSS校正,以提高单个接收器位置的精度,直到精度。

“The advantage of subscribing to SmartNet is that you are not as tied as you are working up against a base station. With SmartNet, we are always connected, and even when we don’t have the project model available, we have the height we can work from”,explains Berntsson.


从远程支持服务中受益



When Lerbergs Entreprenad decided to invest in digitalising their fleet, customer care service and support from experts was an important factor choosing Leica Geosystems.

Lerbergs Entreprenad订阅了Leica Geosystems的客户服务软件包(CCP),让他们通过Internet,软件更新,年度服务检查和扩展保修中受益于现场支持和远程支持。

“我们使用CCP中的所有服务。服务技术人员校准机器,并在现场为我们升级软件。”伯恩森说。

运营商与Leica Geosystems的支持部门有直接的联系,以防他们可以寻求帮助并通过软件从远程支持中受益的任何问题。

“We are 30 employees, and I haven’t driven excavators for some years now,”伯恩森说。“I no longer have detailed information about the latest technology. It is an advantage that the machine operators can call support directly instead of going through me.”

JimGöthesson使用Leica Geosystems的技术支持,并与Leica Geosystems产品专家之一直接接触。“我叫,我当我需要他们的支持,得到帮助p quickly. If the support technician that I normally use can’t solve a problem, he will get help from another technician.”


为什么出色的支持服务很重要?



认识Lerbergs Entreprenad的创始人Tommy Berntsson。

Lerbergs Entreprenad的大多数合同都是基于每小时付款的,他们的承包商雇用了几家机器和运营商。重要的是没有什么问题。

“Stakeout on the construction site is not very common anymore, because most of it is done on the computer. If the machine control solution is not working, everything stands still. It is therefore important with support and quick feedback, as for example remote support. We can’t wait several hours, because the production is then standing still”,explains Berntsson.

Keep up with the technological advancements and become a leader in the market is a key for Lerbergs Entreprenad, but not only for the business but for their employees.

“I want us to be at the forefront of technology in the business,"伯恩森说。“对于机器机器人来说,相同的计数,我想要最新设备的新机器。这对操作员也很重要。借助良好的机器和现代技术,这项工作更加有趣,并支持他们的日常工作流程。当我们投资时,我们会购买独家产品。”bob综合app下载

Berntsson has been a Leica Geosystems customer for 20 years, among many reasons he highlighted why he feels comfortable working with us:“这项技术正在领导,与Leica Geosystems的专家的关系并不复杂。我对他们感到舒适和安全。”
