For example, by enabling less experienced operators to get up to grade faster and even seasoned workers to operate with a higher degree of accuracy, machine control technology can immediately get work done quicker while making for a safer work environment. Meanwhile, intelligent onboard weighing solutions eliminate errors and inefficiencies at this crucial juncture. When both of these are combined with digital workflow software, project managers can access a broad yet detailed view of their operations, enabling them to make significant improvements. Put simply, precision technology can help aggregates businesses take care of the individual jobs that make their larger strategies work with greater efficiency.</span></p> <p style="-webkit-text-stroke-width:0px;background:transparent;color:rgb(14, 16, 26);font-family:Lato, sans-serif;font-size:17px;font-stretch:inherit;font-style:normal;font-variant-caps:normal;font-variant-ligatures:normal;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:normal;line-height:27px;margin-bottom:0pt;margin-left:inherit;margin-right:inherit;margin-top:0pt;orphans:2;padding:0px;text-align:start;text-decoration-color:initial;text-decoration-style:initial;text-decoration-thickness:initial;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;white-space:normal;widows:2;word-spacing:0px;"> </p> <p style="-webkit-text-stroke-width:0px;background:transparent;color:rgb(14, 16, 26);font-family:Lato, sans-serif;font-size:17px;font-stretch:inherit;font-style:normal;font-variant-caps:normal;font-variant-ligatures:normal;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:normal;line-height:27px;margin-bottom:0pt;margin-left:inherit;margin-right:inherit;margin-top:0pt;orphans:2;padding:0px;text-align:start;text-decoration-color:initial;text-decoration-style:initial;text-decoration-thickness:initial;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;white-space:normal;widows:2;word-spacing:0px;"><span style="background:transparent;color:rgb(14, 16, 26);margin-bottom:0pt;margin-top:0pt;" data-preserver-spaces="true"><strong style="background:transparent;color:rgb(14, 16, 26);margin-bottom:0pt;margin-top:0pt;">Productivity meets pinpoint precision</strong></span></p> <p style="-webkit-text-stroke-width:0px;background:transparent;color:rgb(14, 16, 26);font-family:Lato, sans-serif;font-size:17px;font-stretch:inherit;font-style:normal;font-variant-caps:normal;font-variant-ligatures:normal;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:normal;line-height:27px;margin-bottom:0pt;margin-left:inherit;margin-right:inherit;margin-top:0pt;orphans:2;padding:0px;text-align:start;text-decoration-color:initial;text-decoration-style:initial;text-decoration-thickness:initial;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;white-space:normal;widows:2;word-spacing:0px;"> </p> <p style="-webkit-text-stroke-width:0px;background:transparent;color:rgb(14, 16, 26);font-family:Lato, sans-serif;font-size:17px;font-stretch:inherit;font-style:normal;font-variant-caps:normal;font-variant-ligatures:normal;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:normal;line-height:27px;margin-bottom:0pt;margin-left:inherit;margin-right:inherit;margin-top:0pt;orphans:2;padding:0px;text-align:start;text-decoration-color:initial;text-decoration-style:initial;text-decoration-thickness:initial;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;white-space:normal;widows:2;word-spacing:0px;"><span style="background:transparent;color:rgb(14, 16, 26);margin-bottom:0pt;margin-top:0pt;" data-preserver-spaces="true">Inaccuracies and errors on the jobsite pose a serious risk to project efficiency. At a time when the pressure is on to deliver large-scale projects at speed, it’s a risk that must be mitigated. Machine control technology addresses this by providing constant position and grade guidance to operators, enhancing efficiency and precision for even the most skilled professionals. Through intuitive displays, systems like MC-Max by Topcon allow plans to be uploaded directly to the cab, guaranteeing that no matter the job, work can be completed quickly and accurately.</span></p> <p style="-webkit-text-stroke-width:0px;background:transparent;color:rgb(14, 16, 26);font-family:Lato, sans-serif;font-size:17px;font-stretch:inherit;font-style:normal;font-variant-caps:normal;font-variant-ligatures:normal;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:normal;line-height:27px;margin-bottom:0pt;margin-left:inherit;margin-right:inherit;margin-top:0pt;orphans:2;padding:0px;text-align:start;text-decoration-color:initial;text-decoration-style:initial;text-decoration-thickness:initial;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;white-space:normal;widows:2;word-spacing:0px;"> </p> <p style="-webkit-text-stroke-width:0px;background:transparent;color:rgb(14, 16, 26);font-family:Lato, sans-serif;font-size:17px;font-stretch:inherit;font-style:normal;font-variant-caps:normal;font-variant-ligatures:normal;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:normal;line-height:27px;margin-bottom:0pt;margin-left:inherit;margin-right:inherit;margin-top:0pt;orphans:2;padding:0px;text-align:start;text-decoration-color:initial;text-decoration-style:initial;text-decoration-thickness:initial;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;white-space:normal;widows:2;word-spacing:0px;"><span style="background:transparent;color:rgb(14, 16, 26);margin-bottom:0pt;margin-top:0pt;" data-preserver-spaces="true">The value of this added accuracy doesn’t just increase productivity for the quarry but also makes it a safer place to work. By providing operators with real-time data on positioning and grade, machine control reduces the risk of human error, ensuring that tasks like digging and grading are completed to plan. This precision minimises the chance of over-excavation, unstable slopes, or uneven surfaces, which could lead to accidents or equipment failure. Through a safer, more controlled work environment, aggregates businesses can protect operators and reduce operational downtime due to accidents, ensuring that quarries and construction sites remain efficient and secure.</span></p> <p style="-webkit-text-stroke-width:0px;background:transparent;color:rgb(14, 16, 26);font-family:Lato, sans-serif;font-size:17px;font-stretch:inherit;font-style:normal;font-variant-caps:normal;font-variant-ligatures:normal;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:normal;line-height:27px;margin-bottom:0pt;margin-left:inherit;margin-right:inherit;margin-top:0pt;orphans:2;padding:0px;text-align:start;text-decoration-color:initial;text-decoration-style:initial;text-decoration-thickness:initial;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;white-space:normal;widows:2;word-spacing:0px;"> </p> <p style="-webkit-text-stroke-width:0px;background:transparent;color:rgb(14, 16, 26);font-family:Lato, sans-serif;font-size:17px;font-stretch:inherit;font-style:normal;font-variant-caps:normal;font-variant-ligatures:normal;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:normal;line-height:27px;margin-bottom:0pt;margin-left:inherit;margin-right:inherit;margin-top:0pt;orphans:2;padding:0px;text-align:start;text-decoration-color:initial;text-decoration-style:initial;text-decoration-thickness:initial;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;white-space:normal;widows:2;word-spacing:0px;"><span style="background:transparent;color:rgb(14, 16, 26);margin-bottom:0pt;margin-top:0pt;" data-preserver-spaces="true"><strong style="background:transparent;color:rgb(14, 16, 26);margin-bottom:0pt;margin-top:0pt;">Weighing that works</strong></span></p> <p style="-webkit-text-stroke-width:0px;background:transparent;color:rgb(14, 16, 26);font-family:Lato, sans-serif;font-size:17px;font-stretch:inherit;font-style:normal;font-variant-caps:normal;font-variant-ligatures:normal;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:normal;line-height:27px;margin-bottom:0pt;margin-left:inherit;margin-right:inherit;margin-top:0pt;orphans:2;padding:0px;text-align:start;text-decoration-color:initial;text-decoration-style:initial;text-decoration-thickness:initial;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;white-space:normal;widows:2;word-spacing:0px;"> </p> <p style="-webkit-text-stroke-width:0px;background:transparent;color:rgb(14, 16, 26);font-family:Lato, sans-serif;font-size:17px;font-stretch:inherit;font-style:normal;font-variant-caps:normal;font-variant-ligatures:normal;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:normal;line-height:27px;margin-bottom:0pt;margin-left:inherit;margin-right:inherit;margin-top:0pt;orphans:2;padding:0px;text-align:start;text-decoration-color:initial;text-decoration-style:initial;text-decoration-thickness:initial;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;white-space:normal;widows:2;word-spacing:0px;"><span style="background:transparent;color:rgb(14, 16, 26);margin-bottom:0pt;margin-top:0pt;" data-preserver-spaces="true">From labour to materials to fuel, aggregates businesses are grappling with rising costs.
