Trimble Groundworks Machine Control System for Piling Machines is now available as a factory option on Junttan Oy foundation machines, according to Trimble and Junttan Oy.
Trimble Groundworks is a 3D machine control system that uses stakeless navigation, productivity, and quality monitoring, and office-to-field connectivity to increase efficiency and decrease downtime. The system boosts productivity by allowing operations to take place at any time of day or night and under almost any conditions. Trimble Groundworks provides accurate piling depth and direction using 2D or 3D guidance. The system reduces piling machine driving time per pile, lowering fuel consumption and improving jobsite sustainability.
“Junttan strongly believes in the benefits of digitalization in the piling construction field and we are excited to include a GPS machine control system in our product offering,” said Karoliina Pesola, Junttan’s head of Digital and Measuring Solutions. “Trimble Groundworks connected to Junttan’s machine control system PCD will provide a new dimension to our customers’ piling experience.”
“Both Trimble and Junttan have a long history of providing innovative solutions for piling operations,” said Kevin Garcia, Trimble Civil Specialty Solutions general manager. “Trimble Groundworks technology on Junttan foundation machines will enable our customers to maximize piling productivity and safety, with a reliable and accurate workflow.”
More Efficient and Safer Workflows
Trimble Groundworks is a solution in the Trimble Connected Site portfolio that offers a high level of workflow and process integration from the design phase to the finished project. Trimble software in the office and Trimble Groundworks in the field can be integrated to improve piling operations’ efficiency and productivity by wirelessly syncing data to reduce site visits and provide a single source of truth.
Trimble Groundworks enables operators to create an in-field piling design and piling reports. Administrators can create avoidance zones in the design file to reduce blind spots. Trimble Groundworks’ stakeless workflows reduce the need for surveyors and other personnel to be near the machine, making job sites safer.
Availability
Trimble Groundworks is expected to be available for order as a factory-fit option from Junttan Oy in the first quarter of 2023.
