Industry trends

The construction industry is undergoing a significant transformation, driven by technological advancements, a growing focus on sustainability, and evolving labor market dynamics. Global navigation satellite system (GNSS)-based vehicle automation has been utilized for decades; however, these legacy systems have limited the effectiveness of existing deployments. The next generation of automation will be defined by vehicle intelligence, improving the total cost of ownership (TCO), safety, and productivity for operators and OEMs.

Analyze sensor configurations with physically accurate sensor models and environments before on-vehicle testing.

Evaluate engineering trade-offs for different use cases, including perception systems, operator awareness, or calibration and stitching systems.

Vehicle OS

Next-generation software-defined vehicle platform for smart construction vehicles
Cost-effective integration of electrification and automation
Vehicle design built around technology, not bolted on later
Cloud infrastructure to support the on-board software and applications for data analytics, fleet management, remote diagnostics, and OTA updates.

Benefits

Improve safety

Onboard solutions enable operators to see their surroundings clearly. Offboard solutions focus on incident replay and aggregation of safety data to provide insights on operational and site changes.

Lower TCO

Onboard advanced technologies significantly reduce the requirements and costs associated with expensive networking and connectivity, as well as the labor needed to support back-office supervision and vehicle integrations.

Increased productivity

Staffed fleets can be converted to unstaffed fleets to operate more frequently and efficiently, and reduce system downtime. Dispatch vehicles intelligently to optimize usage and productivity.

Improved customer experience

Contractors and dealers have much richer insights into vehicle health and performance, enabling data-driven decision-making for preventative maintenance, site improvements, and asset management
