Topcon system integrates with Volvo CE Dig Assist for improved workflows

CAPELLE A/D IJSSEL, the Netherlands – May 24, 2018 – Topcon Positioning Group and Volvo CE have established a system to allow Topcon 3D machine control software (3D-MC) to seamlessly integrate with the Volvo CE Dig Assist system for a large range of excavators.

The integration of Topcon 3D-MC software is designed to complement the Volvo CE Dig Assist real-time guidance capability by including the use of 3D design files and connectivity with Topcon workflow solution platforms.

“Topcon strives to provide the latest in technology to improve workflows. We are excited our solutions are further extended to machine operators through the intuitive Volvo CE Dig Assist interface,” said Ulrich Hermanski, vice president Topcon Construction Business EMEA.

“We are excited to see the current Volvo CE Dig Assist machine control solution expanded to now handle 3D, through our collaboration with Topcon. The Topcon 3D-MC solution can be added as an ‘app’ on our Co-Pilot platform, connecting our machine to the Topcon eco-system that many of our customers already use,” said Jeroen Snoeck, Volvo Construction Equipment, director of Connected Services.
