Global solution
Accurate measurements at all times
Komatsu’s Smart Construction Base/Rover system makes it easy to collect data and measure surfaces relative to 3D designs
Knowing at any time how close a jobsite is to the project design’s final grade has never been easier. One of the simplest ways to get accurate measurements is with a Komatsu Smart Construction Base/Rover combination that features advanced global navigation satellite system (GNSS) technology currently available to deliver precise measurements, even in challenging environments.
Komatsu’s Base/Rover technology features patented Universal Tracking Channels designed to enhance the efficiency of identifying and using satellite signals. This innovative approach aims to optimize satellite signal processing, offering users improved connectivity in various conditions.
“Our Komatsu-branded base and rover was designed with customers in mind, with a typical setup that includes a receiver and a data collector, that are compatible with a rover pole, and tripod and bipod poles,” said Darrell Binnion, Product Trainer, Technology Business Support, Komatsu. “Once a project model is loaded, you can take the rover and data collector around the site and get an accurate measurement of how close you are to finish grade.”

Customers frequently purchase Smart Construction Base/Rover with Komatsu’s Intelligent Machine Control dozers and excavators, as well as 3D Machine Guidance and the 3D Machine Guidance Flex kits. These kits use the base and rover units to communicate with satellites and radio, ensuring accurate grading and site layout.
“The setup comes with many advantages, the main one being support and training from our team and your distributor’s technical solutions experts,” said Binnion. “Another is that you can bundle and purchase with an Intelligent Machine Control dozer and excavator and finance it all together.”
