How contractors can maximize today’s offerings to boost their bottom line and get a quicker ROI
Today’s machine control is leaving yesterday’s practices in the dust
Breakthroughs in precision technology are boosting accuracy, reliability and performance to grow profits, especially for operators working in GNSS-compromised areas. Next-level antennas, like the Trimble® MS9X6 series of receivers, enable contractors to operate in areas that were previously impossible or unreliable for GNSS-based reception — such as dense foliage, structures or among multipath challenges — offering greater flexibility and efficiency on the job.
Even lower-skilled operators are able to quickly master using precision solutions, enabling them to pivot effectively amongst a challenging labor market where operators, much less skilled ones, are hard to come by. This equates to fewer crew hours and less rework, thereby reducing cost.
Operators become instantly up-skilled with upgraded technology, empowering even entry-level crews to work swiftly and confidently amid underground utilities or other hazardous zones. Steering clear of hazards and accidents means a dramatically lower risk of high-cost delays or safety fines, even worse, injuries or loss of life.
With the growing adoption of machine control solutions (and the preference for these high-accuracy solutions growing by leaps and bounds among today’s discriminating clientele), leveraging technology to drive accuracy and speed has become indispensable for today’s contractors. New operator-assistance features have also been introduced, pushing machine control beyond basic implement control.
