Heavy machine control

Operate heavy machinery remotely or autonomously with surgical precision using high precision positioning and navigation

Remotely controlled cranes, excavators, and other machinery simplify otherwise arduous tasks, protect critical infrastructure, and keep workers out of harm’s way.

GPS-enabled collision avoidance systems and vehicle-to-vehicle communication prevent accidents involving heavy vehicles, protect workers, and avoid downtime.

High precision positioning solutions open the door to semi- or fully automated machines that can access hazardous areas, including excavators, graders, bulldozers, and forest logging machines.
