Integrated Machine Control (iMC) – where does the value start and end?
Thursday, Aug 11 2022 11:00 AM – 12:00 PM
(UTC+10:00) Canberra, Melbourne, Sydney
This is an introductory overview to Komatsu’s iMC (intelligent Machine Control) machines and technology, tailored specifically for those new to the concept, before looking at the capabilities of the latest iMC 2.0 machines/technology, and their potential for today’s worksites and projects.
What you will learn: As a result of participating in this webinar, you will understand the latest developments in machine control technology – where precision control capabilities are built into Komatsu’s iMC machines at factory level – provide unmatched efficiency, productivity, accuracy and jobsite safety across all aspects of earthmoving and excavation, from initial bulk works to final trim.
Why you should attend: If you are looking to take your project efficiencies and productivity potential to the next level, this webinar will show you how. Whether you’re involved in small-scale earthworks, large infrastructure projects, or in resource extraction or primary production, iMC technology can deliver unprecedented benefits in terms of accuracy, productivity, speed of delivery, jobsite safety and client satisfaction. It empowers a single machine to carry out many aspects of earthmoving and material placement that previously would have required two or more additional machines, with all stages of a project’s earthworks accurately captured to provide detailed as-built results to clients, surveyors and government agencies.
