Machine Control Explained - Part 3

How costly is machine control?

There is sometimes a misconception that this technology requires significant financial outlay, but Synergy Positioning has flexible hire, lease and finance options available. Machine control is an investment that easily pays for itself through its benefits of increased productivity and efficiencies.

We are seeing contractors who want the autonomy of being able to conduct stakeouts, topographic surveys or volume calculations start out with a Survey GPS Rover setup which can provide a great stepping stone into 3D positioning technology.

“The way in which the Topcon 3D-MC² machine control system allows us to work – quicker and more cleanly – also means that at every lift, even intermediate lifts, the job looks really impressive. It’s very accurate and the technology virtually eliminates mistakes; and remember these are big machines we’re using to complete often really fiddly tasks.”
~ Matt Mead, Civil Contractor, Owner of Earthwork Solutions
