Machine Control System market Trends

Driver: Safety concerns associated with workers and heavy construction machinery

The implementation of machine control systems in heavy construction equipment significantly enhances safety for workers on construction sites. One of the main safety concerns in the heavy construction industry is the risk of accidents and collisions between machinery and workers. Machine control systems address this concern by providing operators with real-time feedback on the location of workers and potential obstacles. By incorporating proximity sensors or cameras, these systems can alert operators of potential collisions, reducing the risk of accidents and injuries. In addition, limited visibility that operators may face due to blind spots in large construction equipment. Machine control systems help overcome this issue by incorporating additional sensors and cameras that provide operators with a comprehensive view of their surroundings. This improved visibility enables operators to navigate the construction site safely and avoid accidents caused by inadequate sightlines.

Restraint: Requirement of high initial investments

Machine control systems involve the integration of advanced technologies and hardware components. These technologies, such as GNSS receivers, sensors, controllers, and displays, are critical for precise positioning, guidance, and control of heavy construction machinery. The development, production, and integration of these advanced technologies incur significant research and development (R&D) costs, which contribute to the overall investment. Moreover, machine control systems require specialized software algorithms and user interfaces to process data, provide real-time feedback, and facilitate seamless communication between the operator and the machinery. Developing and implementing these software components involves substantial investment in terms of software development, testing, and customization.

Opportunity: Rising trend of 3D modeling and scanning across industries

Construction activities such as planning, monitoring individual machine performance, and managing onsite communications require a large variety of surveying technologies and efficient systems to share and utilize the information at a construction site. Before the commencement of a construction project, surveyors collect information on the existing infrastructure through aerial images, ground surveys, and cadastral data. This information is then combined with environmental and other background data. 3D modeling is becoming an integral part of these early phases to enable swift design and conception of the project. The 3D models of construction projects are developed with the help of GNSS, total stations, theodolites, UAVs, and laser scanners.

Challenge: Sustaining reliability and accuracy in data provided by machine control systems based on GNSS technology

In industries such as construction and agriculture, drilling and piling, paving, grading, and construction positioning solutions, among many others, require advanced machine-guided technology in which 3D view and GNSS satellite technologies are utilized for effective operations. However, signal interference which can arise from atmospheric conditions, multipath reflections, and electronic interference. These interferences can disrupt the GNSS signals, leading to inaccuracies in the positioning data received by the machine control system. Additionally, signal blockage can occur in areas with dense foliage, urban environments, or around tall structures, causing degraded signal quality and unreliable positioning data. The geometry of the satellites in view is another factor that affects accuracy, as an unfavorable arrangement can introduce errors or uncertainties.
