Connected Construction 1

What will the next stage of the digital revolution look like? Where will the transformation take our industry in the coming decade? It might not be where you expect  say the key opinion leaders on the World Highways machine control roundtable. Look out for a much larger and more integrated solution using big data, artificial intelligence, industry-wide, standardised open platforms, shared intelligence, machine learning and digital twins. The future’s so bright, you gotta wear shades. 

Welcome to round five in our World Highways Roundtable series, this time on how the latest thinking in digital and remote machine control technology is enabling mixed machine fleets and teams of to be connected in real time via a 3D virtual site. How does it work on screen, how does it work on the ground, and what benefits does it bring?

In this latest episode from the World Highways Roundtable on how the digital revolution is transforming life on site, our three key opinion leaders from the world of machine control discuss how their latest systems are improving the ability to work efficiently and cost-effectively on the ground. What are the real benefits, out there in the real world? Click here to find out what Leica Geosystems, Topcon and Trimble have to say.

This is the third topic of the World Highways Roundtable series of discussions. We asked three leading experts on machine control technology - from Leica Geosystems, Topcon and Trimble - to tell us how their solutions are helping the construction industry deal with labour shortages, an ageing workforce and a growing skills gap. If there aren't enough machine operators out there with knowledge and experience, how do we avoid a major crisis on site? Let's hear what our key opinion leaders had to say.

This is the second topic of the World Highways Roundtable series of discussions. We asked three leading experts on machine control technology - from Leica Geosystems, Topcon and Trimble - to tell us how the COVID-19 pandemic has affected working practices on site over the past two years. How has the crisis helped to encourage the adoption of new ideas? Have things speeded up, or slowed down? Let's hear what our key opinion leaders had to say.

Welcome to a new World Highways Roundtable on the digital revolution. We have a series of discussions on the future of machine control for you to enjoy, and new videos will be released each week. We asked three leading experts on machine control technology - from Leica Geosystems, Topcon and Trimble – to tell us how they are helping contractors improve their productivity levels and adopt new technologies. It's time to join the revolution and find out how to work smarter, they say. The future is far more intuitive than you might think.
