To accelerate the pace of achieving digital transformation of construction worksite operations, the SMARTCONSTRUCTION Retrofit kit can be added on not only Komatsu-made models but also other makes as long as they are hydraulic excavators. To make ICT functions more user-friendly, Komatsu has also developed and offers the GNSS correction service with information distribution, which is needed for 3D construction work, as well as the 'SMARTCONSTRUCTION Pilot' application for the SMARTCONSTRUCTION Retrofit kit, which transmits 3D design data and manages construction records. This application allows for the use of commercially available tablets as monitors, thereby enhancing user-friendliness and achieving a low price of the SMARTCONSTRUCTION Retrofit kit.
With the SMARTCONSTRUCTION Retrofit kit, Komatsu is going to promote 'digitalization' of conventional construction equipment and digital transformation of construction in order to realize 'safe, highly productive, smart and clean workplaces of the future' soon.
