We met up with Trimble Dimensions to see the differing types of automated technology used on machines at their semi-annual Las Vegas trade show! #construction #heavyequipment #dozer

What would you do in the cab while the machine was running on its own?
I would love to know where Eric got his jacket, that thing is pure drip.
Ive been operating bulldozer over 20 years The whole steer assist with the bulldozer first of all seems unsafe,second whenever your grading around curb line and corners. A lot of times material will get under the front of your tracks throwing the whole gps reaction off. So I'll just continue to steer myself so I can rea act myself to recover from that. Just gonna be quicker in the course of the day
soooo short answer is its about 150k NZD worth of GPS // Machine Control on a skid steer…………..
It’s funny to me how the construction industry has been slow, almost to the point of stubbornly refusing to accept gps and laser machine control yet those of us in the ag land levelling industry have been using automatic blade control since the 70’s. First with laserplane and now nearly all of us have switched to GPS
I Operate Machines this is simply an extended lunch break with kidney problems.
Amazing video and thank you for breaking it down!! Despite the economic downturn, I'm so happy I have been earning $ 60,000 returns from my $9,000 investment every 21days.🏆
Trimble test all their stuff out in a desert not on real sites. I operate all equipment but mainly in a 349f with Trimble earthworks and load rite scale. It's a …OK… system . Sensors need some major updating to handle rock and ledge . Would also be great if sensors didnt half to he removed to hammer rock then they need to be calibrated. Updates should also be automatic
These electronics are great, until they're not.
Before I retired from a large electrical contractor, we used 3D CAD and incorporated it into Trimble Total station. We could pinpoint conduit stub-ups within 1/8th of an inch up to 1500’ away from the station. Thousands of them on some projects. Our projects were completely coordinated with HVAC, plumbing, sprinkler, and any other trade that was in the 3D world. Reduced re-do’s enormously.
2:45 That rhinoplasty looks good. About time you fixed that beak.
Wait are you just a city boy with a camera
Are all of those big sites you visit Union Work ?
I need to work with you
Pretty cool tech it’s just a shame we’re seeing the end of an era where you have to be an operator and spend your life honing the craft so becoming button pushers it’s probably good for the industry but it’s just a shame
All this stuff dose is take job's from skilled workers
What happens when the blade hits a giant buried boulder?🤨
I’m dying laughing!!! You two clowns are hilarious! How do they let you run machines, and cameras? 🤣🤣🤣 lol the humor is great, and the info is good to…
I want a sticker
Another tec thats new in America but has been a standard for at least ten years in europe.
This is the worst thing I have ever seen they aren't operators at this point there stupid computer people horrible 👎 they're not operators at this point there are it techs which does not belong in equipment
I challenge you as a certified forklift operator to run a machine better than me…
I just wanna be in a video
