Implementing new technology in your organization needs to be on top of its game when it comes to integrating new technology into your existing operations.
Today's heavy equipment technology actually has more processing power than the first Apollo missions that went into space. The improvements to electronics, pneumatics, hydraulics, transmissions, engines, along with the introduction of on board computer systems, lasers, and GPS have turned…
If you talk to some of the old timers, they will tell you that our modern equipment is too easy. A child could operate it. In a way, it's true. The equipment that was around 50 years ago was heavy,…
Heavy equipment technology has come a long way over the last twenty years. Gone are the days of heavy equipment that took brute strength to operate. Now you can almost operate equipment with one finger. What is becoming apparent is…
Now there is a question that will raise the eyebrows of many old time operators - can robotics and new heavy equipment technology take over from operators? I think, first and foremost, before getting too heavily into any arguments, no…
If you're a heavy equipment operator, or perhaps someone looking to move into the field of heavy equipment operations, you can undertake a GPS training program that adds these skills to your personal toolbox. GPS - or Global Positioning System,…
Mention technology these days and most people automatically think about computers. While they do have an important role to play, new heavy equipment technology involves far more. If you were to compare today's machinery with those from twenty or more…
If you're a former operator returning to the field then changes in heavy equipment technology will no doubt astound you. In fact, for decades, heavy equipment rejected the introduction on new technology. The old ways worked and worked well and…
Heavy equipment technology is gaining new ground all the time. Sometimes, the technology is not necessarily with the heavy equipment, but with the tools used alongside heavy equipment. Take excavating as an example. Excavators have changed remarkably over the last…
Technology is everywhere and over time it has developed to the point that mankind has almost become redundant. Where advances won't take over from humans is in the area of heavy equipment technology. There are many reasons why this won't…
Heavy equipment technology is a little like new car technology. It doesn't matter what they do under the hood or inside the cab, operating the equipment (or car) is still the same. Many of the changes we see now relate…
