“We’ve been able to map about 80 percent of the most valuable solar markets at one-meter resolution, That’s connected us to valuable markets such as California, Massachusetts and Connecticut, states that we wouldn’t have been able to do business in had we not been able to extract features automatically.”
“We’re always looking for ways to do our jobs more efficiently and easily, with less of the paperwork and data entry. Simply put, you cannot afford not to have an interactive maintenance system like TMT that will help you manage tasks and provide statistical reporting.”
“My focus is on the user experience, and many in-house functions are now moving to the cloud. When the software is hosted on premise, it requires a dedicated VPN connection for remote access. With Accubid Anywhere, users can log on from virtually any type of connection and instantly access the data they need. This gives our estimators and project managers the ability to get their job done however it needs to be done, from wherever they are.”
“Theoretically, we recognized the value of technology such as GNSS for positioning and machine control, but have struggled to find the right solutions with good customer service to help guide our decisions.”
“Before we start any activity, we require a pre-construction commencement walk with engineers and stakeholders that includes SiteVision and ground penetrating radar (GPR), so that everyone understands the requirements for the project, has clarity about what’s underground and recognizes the potential risks.”
“We’re a small company and we don’t do enough work to make the investment in big machine control systems, which usually require base stations and other connected technologies."
“The skid steer is not the best piece of equipment for this task because it has limitations in its drilling depth, Ideally, we wanted a crawler type of drilling unit able to dig deeper with GPS.”
“It’s very user friendly and gives our operators a lot more information on the screen, It’s amazing the accuracy we can get on a job.”
“We are really lucky that we haven’t seen a labor shortage, but we know it’s coming. Technology that enhances operator tasks will certainly make a difference. The programs are more user friendly so even novice operators can get up to speed quickly.”
“It just became a passion after that to help those smaller companies get a foothold on technology and not get scared away by the wow factor, the cost, and all those things."
“We run all 3D now, whether we’re working on a racetrack or a roadway, Over the years, we learned how to use these tools to optimize our skills on flat areas, and then translated those lessons learned to extreme conditions like high sloped racetracks.”
“That was one of the biggest things that made this project possible in the tight timeline, If not for the Perpendicular capabilities, I believe the dirt work would have taken us much longer because we would have had to keep checking and rechecking to meet the defined specifications.”
“The platform is very dynamic with a lot of cross capabilities for a large gamut of tech and non-tech savvy users. Our senior managers and executives use the data to track projects. The data has become so integral to our processes.”
“Küsnacht wanted to get a clear understanding of the possibilities to bring lifecycle costs down on infrastructure maintenance projects."
“Our selling point to clients was that we could up production, decrease rework and increase accuracy—we could only do that with help from technology. It was a challenge to sell to some clients initially, but once we got up and running, we could demonstrate the benefits.”
