Sumitomo’s earthmovers are now available with Trimble machine control tools from the factory

2122 Trimble has established agreements with two more manufacturers of construction equipment with regard to machine control technology, 2714 Sumitomo and Yutong. Sumitomo is offering the Trimble Earthworks Grade Control Platform for Excavators as a factory-fit machine control solution for the Japanese market. The solution offers customers two options: 2D Machine Guidance or 2D Machine Control. Both packages can help boost the productivity and quality of earthmoving work.

The 2D Machine Guidance option will include a Sumitomo-designed user interface, using the integrated machine display panel in the excavator cab. The 2D Machine Control factory fit option includes an 1223 Android tablet display running the Trimble Earthworks software application.

Zhengzhou Yutong Heavy Industries is the first Chinese manufacturer to offer the Trimble Ready package for dynamic compaction applications. The two firms have worked jointly to integrate the Trimble DPS900 Machine Control System onto Yutong’s dynamic compaction machines.

The DPS900 System uses real-time navigation and automatic recording and allows the operator to use a display to position the machine at the precise compaction point. The system automatically records the number of drops and the total displacement of each point. This new technology can improve productivity, avoid rework, and reduce the number of on-site construction workers needed, while boosting quality and safety.
