When based onGPSMechanical Control TechnologyWhen it first appeared in the 1990s,，It is believed to greatly improve the company's construction performance.。However, as a new technology,，Its initial price is on the high side.，Only some powerful companies in the industry can bear it.。To this day，Mechanical control technology is faster、More precise、It's also more humane，And more affordable at the same time.，This opens up a whole new world for some of the smaller contractors.，Streamline their field work processes while，Make it more profitable.。With three sets of Topcon 3DProcurement plan for mechanical control systems in place and more in preparation，Flagstaff, Arizona（Aura Flagstaff）The site preparation experts have accepted this technology and its benefits through practice.，And see its potential for development.。

Smooth construction plan

Aura FlagstaffThe project is located in Flagstaff, Arizona，Is an eight-building, 190-unit condominium complex。Overall, this is a very simple project.，But because of the need to repeatedly move a large amount of rock,，Therefore, the construction method and management determine the profit level.。

Billy, the company manager·Todd said:“The place is full of stones.，So we pulverize and reuse these materials as much as possible as base fill or engineering fill to reduce the volume of handling.。Except for some repeated handling of materials in close proximity.，We also need to transport most of the materials 60 kilometers away.。”

Billy·Todd's company has about 35 employees.，It is also equipped with corresponding earthmoving machinery.，Includes 850MBulldozer、CX245DExcavator and 856CMotor grader，All of these are equipped withTopconMechanical Control System。Many people have access toGPSAnd mechanical control systems.，This makes their construction no longer need to wait for the confirmation of technicians like traditional construction.，After getting the construction model, you can start working directly.。

At the scene，Todd and his crew made the most of the model construction.，It means a lot to them.。He said：“We no longer have to wait for the surveyor to stake.，And then spend a lot of time marking out the points.，Draw the trench line，And use that rover to detect the grade.。Now，My bucket is a mobile station.。In addition，We can seamlesslyFromTransfer from one task to another，There is no need to stop and wait in the middle。It turns out，This is very important，Ffectively avoid rework operation。As we continue to grow，I'm sure our plans will include additional system purchases.。”

“Got itTopconSupport of mechanical control system，Greatly improve our operational efficiency。No need for piling and setting out before construction，The control panel will display the information to be constructed so that the work can be started immediately.。For a company like ours where time is money.，This is a huge profit.。“

Take control

There's no denying it，Todd's company has benefited tremendously from these machine control systems.，While saving costs, the operational efficiency has been greatly improved.。This is undoubtedly very attractive for construction companies where time is money.。

Other than that，He added：“Here，Plans are revised so frequently.，In the same way as before，We will outsource this part of the work to other companies.，This not only affects the level of profits.，It also affects the progress of the project.。So，I purchased a modeling software package.，Start getting really familiar with the modeling solution，And learn how to build good models.。Now，Not only do we save these costs,，And no longer controlled by others。I don't need to hear it.‘I can't next week’，I will finish according to our plan.。”

“WhereasTopconIntuitive of the system，Learning how to create a model is not a very difficult thing.。“

Topcon Earth-moving machinery control system

Engineering construction operation is a very complex and comprehensive operation process.，The operation mode of traditional excavator is：According to the design data，Conduct manual setting out，Pile driving，A reference gray line is drawn，The operator carries out the excavation work according to the gray line and stake indication.；The measuring personnel shall check the qualification of the operation through the instrument.。Carry out secondary operation in case of excessive under-excavation，Make up manually for over-excavation or under-excavation.、Trimming operation。The entire operation process relies almost entirely on the experience of the operator.，Repeated operations are required，The construction period and operation quality cannot be guaranteed.。

Topcon 3DThe excavator system is modern.GNSSTechnology and sensor technology are fully embodied in the perfect application of excavators.。Through the sensor，Obtaining operation attitude information of the excavator，ThroughGNSSThe technology introduces precise location information into the system.，Combine with design data，And present on a display，Precise operation through guidance，The situation that the operation is carried out by guessing in the traditional construction operation is avoided.，RealizationOne step in placeYesNew mode of operation。
