A remote-controlled dozer running Earthworks headlined the Dimensions+ demo.
At Dimensions+ 2022, Trimble showed contractors a preview of the autonomous jobsite. Equipment World filmed the demonstrations.
What was shown
A remote-controlled Komatsu D51PX dozer ran Trimble Earthworks, alongside autonomous excavator and compactor demonstrations.
What Earthworks is
Earthworks is aftermarket grade control. It drives the blade or bucket to the design surface automatically while the operator steers.
Why it matters
Grade control is the layer autonomy builds on. Trimble's demo showed how it plugs into remote and driverless machines.
