Trimble speeds up GPS dozer grade control, intros wireless data sharing between compactors with GCS900, CCS900 systems

GPS grade control systems can only go as fast as the machine’s receivers can process the signals and hydraulic valves react. Trimble has improved this situation with it’s new GradeMax Plus technology for dozers. Used in the Trimble GCS900, GradeMax Plus employs an inertial measurement sensor to detect the rate of acceleration and changes in […]

INSIDE IC: Though intelligent compaction is still being refined, the tech already offers plenty of value

While intelligent compaction (IC) has been popular in Europe for some time, it’s only in the past decade that it began gaining ground in the United States. As with any young technology, some matters are unresolved. There are no standardized intelligent compaction measurement values (ICMVs); OEMs are free to create their own ICMVs to measure […]
