Komatsu Showcases Smart Construction Solutions at CONEXPO 2020

Tapping into the power of IoT, Komatsu’s construction customers soon will be able to control construction planning, management, schedule, costs, and optimize processes remotely and in near real time with the company’s incoming suite of Smart Construction solutions.

Built to support the digital transformation of its customers’ worksites, Komatsu’s Smart Construction roadmap – introduced at a special event at Booth N-10825 at CONEXPO-CON/AGG 2020 – includes 11 new solutions with releases starting this coming year. Those solutions are:

• Design: 3D designs and more with 3D data generation
• Remote: Send new design data to machines in the field, or remotely support operators, without traveling to the jobsite
• Dashboard: Graphically visualize design, drone and machine data to measure cut/fills, quantities, and productivity
• Fleet: Collect the data needed to optimize fleets and track production, on a mobile app
• Insight: Display an overview of progress, productivity, and profitability across multiple jobsites
• Simulation: From start to finish, simulate jobsites to optimize results, before the first yard of dirt is moved
• Retrofit: Equip legacy excavators of any make or model with access to 3D data, giving operators the guidance they need
• Rover: Cost-effective, high-value 3D rovers to outfit all key jobsite personnel
• Drone: Provides a bird’s-eye view of the jobsite, in a fraction of the time required by a ground-based survey
• Edge: Rapid processing of drone data into a 3D terrain map  without leaving the jobsite
• Field: Cost-effective project management that includes cost tracking and helps determine the best ways to bid, manage and resource projects
