Komatsu has announced it will offer Smart Construction\u2019s 3D Machine Guidance Kit as a simple and flexible technological enhancement for a broad range of standard Komatsu machines, as well as mixed fleets, a decade after launching its intelligent Machine Control (iMC).<\/p>\n

The 3D Machine Guidance Kit technology will be an available add-on for crawler and wheeled excavators of any brand from 13 t to 120 t. The kit also offers a wide range of configurations for machines across all generations.<\/p>\n

By purchasing an excavator with the 3D Machine Guidance Kit, customers will be able to operate their machines with 2D and 3D machine guidance. The 3D Machine Guidance Kit can be customised with various optional additions such as a tilt bucket and couplers kit, two-piece boom kit, super long front kit, and SATEL radio kit. These options allow the kit to better accommodate each customer\u2019s machine configurations and operating conditions.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe 3D Machine Guidance Kit is the result of extensive efforts by Komatsu to deliver a truly user-friendly system, giving the operator a level of digital assistance whatever the requirement,\u201d said Richard Clement, Deputy General Manager Smart Construction.<\/p>\n

Developed by Komatsu for Smart Construction to the same strict standards as their renowned yellow machines, the 3D Machine Guidance Kit hardware components provide customers with guaranteed reliable quality and performance. Clement added: \u201cThe 3D Machine Guidance Kit is fully supported by the Komatsu distribution network along with the digital expertise of our Smart Construction team.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jim Venerus, Product Marketing General Manager, said of the advancement: \u201cCustomers tell us that productivity, real-time jobsite information, and keeping pace with digital transformation are some of their biggest challenges today. Komatsu has developed the 3D Machine Guidance Kit in response to these needs.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cOne of the main benefits of the 3D Machine Guidance Kit, through ease of installation, is its ability to digitally transform any excavator, of any generation, at any time. Combined with Komatsu\u2019s connected services, the 3D Machine Guidance Kit meets the common challenges of our customers today to deliver productivity gains via 2D and 3D machine guidance, real-time connectivity, and the ability to make data-driven decisions,\u201d concluded Venerus.<\/p>\n
