Xwatch Safety Solutions is integrating with Topcon Positioning Systems Inc.'s MC-X platform to create a new, connected layer between machine control and on-machine safety.
Topcon's MC-X platform already brings mixed fleets together through its 3D-MC software, Sitelink3D connectivity and multi-constellation GNSS. With Xwatch integrated, this becomes a single, safety-aware machine control environment, where digital guidance, real-time machine data and active safety systems work together on the machine.
"This integration with Topcon's MC-X platform is a practical step forward in how the industry brings machine control and safety closer together," said Dan Leaney, global managing director of Xwatch Safety Solutions. "Xwatch has built its position as a global leader in construction machinery safety systems by focusing on what happens on the machine, in real working conditions. Connecting that capability into MC-X allows contractors and dealers to move towards a more joined-up, safety-aware and data-led way of operating their fleets. ConExpo is the right place to start those conversations and to show where this is heading."
"We're bringing our two technologies closer together to deliver a more seamless and powerful experience for our shared customers," said Fredrik Eklind, head of product platform — construction, Topcon Positioning Systems Inc. By combining our advanced 3D machine control advanced positioning capabilities with Xwatch's safety and protection system, users will gain a fully mapped 3D ceiling, floor and wall environment — enabling smarter, more intuitive avoidance and a new level of operational confidence."
