Komatsu's Smart Construction range offers two innovative solutions for construction enterprises: the Retrofit Kit (RFK) and Intelligent Machine Control (iMC) 2.0 excavators. These cutting-edge technologies aim to enhance precision, efficiency, and safety for operators, catering to different needs within the construction sector.

The RFK is a guidance system utilizing a 3D global positioning system, enabling both new and existing excavators to access intelligence. It allows operators to visualize and accurately dig according to 3D model designs without the need for constant surveyor intervention. Additionally, it incorporates a unique Payload Meter, ensuring optimal loading to avoid legal and safety concerns associated with overloading trucks.

In contrast, the iMC 2.0 models offer GPS functionality, enhancing productivity through semi-autonomous capabilities integrated into specific Komatsu excavators. These machines prevent over-digging and rework by precisely adhering to the design model, ultimately boosting efficiency and workflow.

By reducing rework, improving precision, and eliminating the need for constant surveyor involvement, both RFK and iMC 2.0 excavators aim to elevate productivity and safety standards in the construction industry. These technological advancements, adaptable to various operational requirements, provide substantial value, addressing challenges in a competitive market landscape.
