Trimble announced Trimble? Earthworks control solution for excavators and dozers. Trimble Earthworks is transforming machine control with the industry?s first integrated 3D aftermarket excavator automatics capability. In addition, a new dozer configuration moves the receivers from the blade to the roof of the cab. Re-engineered from the ground up, Trimble?s innovative, next-generation grade control platform features intuitive, easy-to-learn software that runs on an Android operating system. State-of-the-art software and hardware gives operators of all skill levels the ability to work faster and more productively than ever before, according to the company. With Trimble Earthworks, contractors can now take advantage of the first integrated 3D aftermarket grade control automatics for excavators, allowing operators to create smooth, flat or sloped surfaces more easily. When the excavator is placed in Autos mode, the operator controls the stick, and Trimble Earthworks controls the boom and bucket to stay on grade, reduce overcut and increase production. Trimble Earthworks for Excavators is expected to be available globally in the second quarter of 2017, while Trimble Earthworks for Dozers in the second half of 2017.
