Smart Construction Dashboard – Graphically visualize design, drone and machine data to measure cut/fills, quantities, and productivity.

Smart Construction Fleet – Collect the data needed to optimize fleets and track production, all on a mobile app.

Smart Construction Insight – Display an overview of progress, productivity, and profitability across multiple jobsites.

Smart Construction Simulation – From start to finish, simulate jobsites to optimize results, before the first yard of dirt is moved.

Smart Construction Retrofit – Equip legacy excavators of any make or model with access to 3D data, giving operators the guidance they need.

Smart Construction Rover – Cost-effective, high-value 3D rovers to outfit all key jobsite personnel.

Smart Construction Drone – Provides a bird’s-eye view of the jobsite, in a fraction of the time required by a ground-based survey.

Smart Construction Edge – Rapid processing of drone data into a 3D terrain map without leaving the jobsite.

Smart Construction Field – Cost-effective project management that includes cost tracking and helps determine the best ways to bid, manage and resource projects.

Since Komatsu customers began piloting early capabilities in 2015, Smart Construction has been connecting people, equipment, and construction processes to enhance workflows in an open platform. Supported by its strategic partners, who are leaders in their own fields, Komatsu’s vision is to improve operations across all phases of the construction process by enabling digital transformation of customer jobsites. With Smart Construction, software, hardware, and services come together to help customers be more connected, efficient, and successful.
