Unicontrol launches affordable, entry-level 2D machine control

An accessible, affordable machine control solution is now available for contractors looking to digitalize their earthmoving operations — and it's 2D. Unicontrol has introduced Unicontrol2D, tailored specifically for small- to medium-sized construction companies. This new practical solution features Unicontrol's premium hardware, and Spectra Precision's high-quality lasers and laser receivers, providing instant feedback and ensuring efficiency and accuracy to an impressive plus or minus two millimetres.

A scalable and user-friendly solution

While the construction industry is buzzing with talk of 3D machine control, many small- to medium-sized companies find advanced technologies out of reach due to their cost and complexity. Designed with scalability in mind, Unicontrol's 2D machine control solution fills this gap, offering a user-friendly, precise, and affordable entry point into machine control. Unicontrol's solution comes with straightforward upgrade paths to 3D machine control, simply by adding GNSS antennas, as business needs evolve.

"Unicontrol's new 2D machine control solution is not just a tool for today — it's an investment in your company's future," says Niels Bjerregaard, CEO of Unicontrol. "We understand the challenges small and medium construction companies face in integrating advanced technologies into their operations. Unicontrol2D allows companies of all sizes to embrace the technology of the future without the initial financial strain. And combined with Spectra's high-quality lasers and laser receivers, end users have an even larger range of projects they can work on efficiently."

First step on the journey to 3D machine control

The innovative solution is designed to make precision excavation easy to use and open to everyone, as well as providing a future-proof first step on the journey to 3D machine control. 2D machine control is a great choice for companies facing tight budget constraints or those without a continuous project pipeline. Users can experience the benefits immediately, as it can be easily retrofitted to existing equipment, removing all barriers to adoption.

With small and medium-sized construction businesses finding it particularly hard as costs rise and margins are squeezed, 2D machine control technology can provide the helping hand they need to achieve their goals. Unicontrol 2D means they can work faster, more precisely, and more efficiently, increasing margins, minimizing rework, and preventing over-digging. Real-time guidance, remote diagnostics and updates, and a built-in cut/fill display ensure the correct depth and slope is achieved every time.
