机器控制使机器操作员的寿命更容易

作者：Per Norell

Taxus AB是使用新的Leica MCP80机器控制面板的瑞典公司之一，以及新的Leica MC1一对一的软件平台。出租车的挖掘机运营商都同意新数字解决方案的优势以及HXGN SmartNet的卫星定位服务以及通过客户服务包计划轻松访问支持和专家。

Taxus works purely with rental services, and they don’t engage directly in construction projects but focus on supporting their customers with rental solutions. The company offers everything from surveying, carpenters and excavators to transport solutions and crane trucks. Taxus is located in Stenungsund, north of Gothenberg in Sweden and employs approximately 40 people. Today, there are nine MCP80 panels in the company’s machine fleet, and two of these are used with MC1, and Taxus plans to upgrade the entire fleet with the one-for-all MC1 solution.

The software platform MC1 offers a common interface for all Leica Geosystems machine control solutions, creating a seamless connection between machines, field and office crews on the construction site. Users of MC1 can benefit from the Automatic Tool Recognition, which automatically detects the tool that the excavator uses. The function minimises the risk of using the wrong bucket, which prevents over digging and increases the efficiency and productivity considerably for the machine operator.

更好地概述该项目和不必要的驾驶

Jonathan Lennartsson works with the MCP80 panel and MC1 software on his new Volvo EUR150 wheeled excavator.

乔纳森·伦纳特森（Jonathan Lennartson）是出租车的挖掘机运营商之一。自四年前离开学校以来，他一直担任挖掘机操作员。

乔纳森（Jonathan）将新的MCP80面板带有MC1软件，该软件是在2019年秋天交付的新沃尔沃（Volvo）欧洲150欧元式挖掘机上。

“与旧软件相比，MC1的主要优点之一是，现在我可以在面板上看到整个模型。我不再锁定自己的位置，”explains Lennartson.“这意味着我不再需要在网站上开车来查看赌注。我可以用手指在面板上滑动，从而减少驾驶。这使我更加高效。”

对结果更有信心

伦纳特森（Lennartson）的同事托尼·罗斯（Tony Roos）在业务中工作了相当长的时间。自2003年Lennartson五岁以来，他就一直是挖掘机操作员。Roos一直是机器控制方面广泛的技术开发的一部分，并拥有丰富的经验来将数字解决方案与传统方法进行比较。Roos同意Lennartson的观点，新的MC1支持他的工作流程。

“我对MC1有更好的概述。以前，我只能在面板上看到水桶周围的区域，但是现在我对整个项目都有快速概述。我做对了，这给了我一种安全感，我不依靠其他任何人，而且我不需要站在机器外面的测量师，”鲁斯说。“MC1 also helps me perform the work faster. I am more efficient, and I can plan the work with the truck drivers better to have the materials in the right place. It gives me more accuracy in my work.

安全工具更换

MC1软件中的自动刀具识别，并确保托尼·罗斯（Tony Roos）始终使用正确的存储桶。

Roos发现可用的另一个功能是AutoSNAP功能以及自动识别，该函数使得直接在运行屏幕中更改工具。

使用AutoSNAP，我可以轻松地找到并捕捉到我需要直接在屏幕上工作的对象，”解释Roos。“When I change bucket or tool, which I do many times during the day, it helps me to have access to the buckets directly on the panel. I don’t need to go into the menu system as I did before, and I know that it is always the right bucket that I use.”

明亮阳光的更好的屏幕可见性

Leica Geosystems’ machine control solution is an inevitable component in the daily work of Taxus’ machine operators.

“始终使用带有MC1的MCP80，这是一个重要的工具，”伦纳特森说。

新的面板和软件甚至为操作员带来了更好的工作环境，因为在明亮的阳光下更容易看到解决方案。

“背景颜色曾经是黑色的，当太阳处于某些位置时，有时有时会受到限制。现在，背景颜色可以将其设置为光线，这有很大的不同，”explains Lennartson.

When the workday is over, Lennartson takes out the MCP80 panel so that it doesn’t stay in the excavator overnight for theft prevention reasons.

“面板很健壮，它没有天线伸出来，所以您不必害怕破坏任何东西，”乔纳森解释说。

Remote support makes troubleshooting easier

Taxus已决定订阅Leica Geosystems的客户服务软件包（CCP），这使他们通过电话，在线远程支持，软件更新，年度服务检查和扩展保修中受益于客户支持。

每当Lennartson在设备方面需要帮助时，他都会致电Leica Geosystems的支持部门，并通过电话获得帮助。如有必要，技术人员可以远程访问MCP80面板并读取错误代码，甚至可以对面板进行远程控制。

“Whenever something happens, and I need help, I need it quickly. It is a pleasure that I can call the support department or get help through remote support. Most problems can be solved over the phone, but it has occasionally happened that a service technician has helped me by taking control over the panel remotely,”explains Lennartson.“This is a far better solution than waiting for a technician to drive out to me on site. I don’t have to stand still with the machine, so I can get more done, and just knowing that I can get support quickly gives me a sense of security.”

HXGN SmartNet和Leica Conx

出租车从Leica Geosystems（包括Smartnet和Leibob综合app下载ca Conx）的许多连接产品和服务中受益。

Lennartsson is interested in automation technology and enjoys learning new things. He uses Leica Geosystems’ satellite positioning service HxGn SmartNet and has some knowledge of the cloud-based collaboration platform, ConX.

“我一直在使用SmartNet。与传统的总站相比，主要的优势是我始终完全知道自己的位置，并且在开车时，我都会与我在一起。我不必担心某些东西会阻止信号，例如容器，”解释说Lennartsson。“I have not yet used ConX, but I know that it is a handy solution. The surveyor can send the file directly from the computer, and the user can synchronise the file directly. The significant advantage is that I don’t have to wait for the surveyor to come out to the machine, and I don’t need to use a USB stick. It is also safer than the traditional workflow as I don’t need people physically around the machine also when we work in harsh environments.

Aftermarket and support

Eje Andersson知道，快速支持在重型建筑行业至关重要。

出租车已经使用机器控制很长时间了。第一台设备于2005年在商标扫描仪下购买。Eje Andersson像网络中的蜘蛛一样参与了Taxus的日常工作，并解释了与Leica Geosystem的重要远程支持和关系。

“这对我们是很重要的,我们得到了充分的反应to the aftermarket questions, and that the support is easily available and knowledgeable. Our machine operators can contact support directly themselves, and sometimes I do it when we have major questions. It is very convenient for us that the operators have the direct contact to the support so that they get the right help at the right time, and Leica Geosystems has top knowledge about their products,”安德森解释说。

“多年来，合作效果很好。Leica Geosystems对我们来说是一个安全的合作伙伴。他们与我们西瑞典地区的测量师建立了很好的建立，这是一个优势。当每个人都知道相同的技术时，它给出了理解的共同点。”安德森说。
