Machine Control System Tech Overview
A system that develops an existing backhoe into an ICT excavator
capable of ICT remote work by attaching various devices to it.
Main Features
This is a remote control system that links with an excavator on site
via joystick/pedal movements in the control room.
By feeding back video and audio from the site to the control room,
it allows real-time operation.
Merit
Merit with this technology
- ・Since it can be applied to an existing excavator, the introduction cost of ICT construction / equipment can be kept low.
- ・Because it is relatively easy to set up at the time of introduction and at the start of work, there are almost no running costs.
Merit of the Machine Control System
- ・Since an excavator can be operated remotely, it helps to deal with labor shortages at construction sites.
- ・The know-how of veteran operators can be accumulated as data, which will be the foundation for future AI control/support.
- ・By reducing the number of field workers, the risk of serious injury can be reduced too.
