Before You Dig

Real-time bucket positioning shows you exactly where you are relative to the design.

Cut / Fill guidance helps you excavate to the correct grade with greater speed, accuracy and confidence.
EXCAVATOR MACHINE CONTROL BENEFITS

Excavate to the Correct Depth and Slope the First Time

REDUCE EXCAVATION REWORK

Follow the digital design accurately to reduce over-excavation, unnecessary backfilling, material waste and costly rework.

REDUCE SURVEY CHECKS

Real-time excavator guidance helps the operator work closer to the target grade with fewer survey checks and less site interruption.

CONTROL DEPTH, ELEVATION & SLOPE

Monitor bucket position, digging depth, elevation and slope in real time—even on complex profiles and changing jobsite conditions.

COMPLETE EXCAVATION FASTER

Improve operator efficiency, shorten excavation cycles and help complete earthmoving projects on schedule and within budget.

HOW IT WORKS

Dual GNSS Antennas
Dual GNSS Antennas

Dual GNSS antennas determine the excavator’s position and heading.

IMU Sensor — Boom
IMU Sensor — Boom

IMU sensors track the movement and orientation of each excavator component.

IMU Sensor — Bucket
IMU Sensor — Bucket

IMU sensors track the movement and orientation of each excavator component.

IMU Sensor — Arm
IMU Sensor — Arm

IMU sensors track the movement and orientation of each excavator component.

01

MACHINE POSITION TRACKING

Dual GNSS antennas determine the excavator’s location and heading, while IMU sensors track the movement of the boom, arm and bucket.

02

BUCKET TIP COMPUTATION

The control unit combines GNSS and sensor data to continuously calculate the exact three-dimensional position of the bucket tip.

03

DESIGN COMPARISON

The calculated bucket position is compared with the uploaded project model, and clear visual indicators show the operator where to dig or stop.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Everything you need to know about APEX Excavator Machine Control.

1. What is the APEX Excavator Machine Control System?

The APEX Excavator Machine Control System provides real-time guidance to help operators follow the required depth, slope and design directly from the cab. It reduces the need for repeated manual grade checks and helps improve excavation accuracy and productivity.

APEX is designed to work with a wide range of excavator brands and models. Our team reviews your machine model and configuration before installation to confirm compatibility and the required components.

The operator can see the bucket position, target depth, cut and fill information, slope guidance and design-related information in real time, helping them work closer to the required grade.

The achievable accuracy depends on the GNSS correction source, machine calibration, site conditions and system configuration. Correct installation and calibration are essential for obtaining reliable machine guidance results.

Not necessarily. The system can operate with compatible GNSS correction methods depending on the project setup. An internet connection may be required when NTRIP corrections or online services are used.

6. Can I use digital design files with the system?

Yes. The system can be used with supported digital project and design data, allowing the operator to work according to the required excavation surface, depth and slope directly from the in-cab display.

Real-time machine guidance gives the operator continuous information about the bucket and target surface. This helps reduce overdig, underdig, repeated grade checks and unnecessary rework during excavation.

Installation and calibration support is available. The system must be correctly installed and calibrated for the excavator geometry and sensors before operation to provide reliable guidance.

Yes. Operator training can be provided to help your team understand the display, guidance information, project setup and normal operating workflow so they can start using the system effectively.
