What is Automated Machine Guidance?
Automated Machine Guidance (AMG) links sophisticated software with construction equipment to direct the operation of machinery with a high level of precision, improving the speed and accuracy of highway construction processes.
Benefits
Because it eliminates much of the guesswork, skilled manual control, and labor involved in traditional methods, AMG improves worker safety and saves agencies and contractors time and money – enhancing their ability to deliver highways “better, faster, and cheaper.”
Now gaining in popularity for grading operations, AMG offers the opportunity to move soil and other materials with fewer workers. This enhances safety and cost efficiency overall. It also significantly improves the accuracy of measurements, which delivers a myriad of benefits.
