What Is AccuGrade? Understanding Machine Control Ready Earthmoving Equipment

4/14/2022

 

AccuGrade is a type of integrated 2D machine control system from Caterpillar that uses an Advanced Tracking System (ATS) to accurately determine and monitor blade position and grading. This solution is unique in that it was the first product of its kind to integrate a machine’s electro-hydraulic system with sensor-free, automatic grading capabilities.

 AccuGrade is one piece of how the construction industry has evolved over the last couple of decades, shifting from a field that required hours of labor and highly skilled operators to complete projects to one that relies on the most advanced technology available to boost productivity and fill in gaps caused by skilled labor shortages. 

Contractors today are becoming increasingly aware of the benefits of machine control systems and are adopting technology that enables a smoother, more efficient operation. With options like Cat AccuGrade and other 2D machine control systems that allow for third-party GPS integration, operators have several options for upgrading their fleet or automating their current machinery. 

Looking for a machine control system to automate your workflow? Call GPS Alaska for help navigating the options.
