KOMATSU Smart Construction has announced that Smart Construction Remote will now be available as standard with all purchases of Komatsu-branded guidance and control systems.
This includes Intelligent Machine Control (iMC), Smart Construction 3D Machine Guidance, and the newly launched PC220LCi-12, which features iMC 3.0 technology. The initiative applies for the entire lifetime of the machine.
Smart Construction Remote is a cloud-based solution that enables users to access and control both Komatsu and non-Komatsu machine guidance and control systems remotely.
Bart Vingerhoets, senior commercial manager at Komatsu Smart Construction, said, “Remote enhances troubleshooting speed and efficiency, reducing downtime and improving operational performance. Additionally, design files can be sent to machines even when they are turned off, ensuring seamless coordination between the office and the field.
“By enabling remote access to machines, Smart Construction Remote also minimises the need for site visits, leading to lower fuel consumption and reduced CO2 emissions. These benefits are particularly valuable for companies managing multiple job sites.”
In Europe alone, the solution is said to have saved customers over 40,000 trips to sites in the past three years and has consistently achieved double-digit growth figures for the past five years.
