Trimble's software solution for motor grader, compactor & paver
Trimble, a global leader in construction technology, unveiled its platform-based software solution to assist contractors in improving the efficiency of their on-site equipment/fleet, especially motor graders, compactors, and pavers, by 30-50%. These solutions enhance project management, equipment efficiency, worker safety, and overall productivity, resulting in a 20% reduction in project completion time, along with improved road quality.
By integrating technology into machines, Trimble streamlines jobsites and empowers contractors with enhanced efficiency through 3D design, a technology that has proved to be instrumental in achieving precision and accuracy in various construction tasks.
Didier Colin, Director-Sales – EAME & APAC – Heavy Civil Construction Division, said, “Our software, introduced at Excon 23, facilitates seamless data exchange between the office and machines. This innovation enhances productivity, measurement, and analytics, providing increased data capacity and real-time information flow between the field and the office. Contractors can now access daily data insights, make real-time progress assessments, and prompt decision-making.
Rajan Aiyar, VP & MD, SAARC Region, emphasized the significance of platforms like Excon 23 in showcasing Trimble's technology. “The exhibition served as a crucial platform to introduce technology to newcomers and update existing users. Trimble's journey, from individual products to a platform-based software solution, was highlighted at the tradeshow, emphasizing seamless communication among stake- holders.”
“Moving towards an end-to-end workflow solution, we believe in catering to a broader audience and emphasizing the benefits of technology. While a contractor may experience a significant boost in productivity and reduction in rework by 30-50%, the broader impact is realized when all stakeholders, including owners, benefit. For example, a motor grader equipped with 3D technology results in a cost saving of around 42% per cubic meter of grading. This significant cost-saving statistic has driven the widespread adoption of 3D technology on graders among contractors in India,” said Aiyar.
Vivek Bansal, VP – Pan India Consultants, outlined Trimble's strategic targeting of contractors over the past five years. He informed that the focus on both large and mid-size contractors has led to significant adoption of Trimble's technology, which has already reached a remarkable 15% market share for motor graders in India.
“As the cycle evolves, the focus is transitioning to paving, with a growing demand for compaction technology. While the success has been particularly notable among mid-size and large contractors, the involvement of smaller contractors is also on the rise,” he said.
Trimble aims to provide its comprehensive solutions across various market segments and products to bring greater efficiency and productivity in operations at project sites.
