DEVELON's -9 Series heavy excavators put full electronic hydraulic controls, AI-assisted safety, machine guidance, and health monitoring into the core machine. That is not just a cab upgrade. It changes how fleets buy, train, maintain, and troubleshoot excavators.
Trimble is adding Earthworks support for swing-boom excavators and scrapers. The real story is not one feature release. It is machine control moving into the smaller, messier equipment classes where many contractors actually make their money.
New research from Teletrac Navman surveyed 600 fleet operators and found that 40-50% of equipment is underutilized. The problem isn't a lack of data — it's that nobody can use it.
From autonomous dozers to an AI assistant that talks back, Cat's NVIDIA partnership is moving fast. We break down what's real, what's coming, and what it means for operators.
Caterpillar, Dynapac, Bobcat, and Hitachi are all bringing autonomous machines or AI-powered tools to Las Vegas this week. The technology gap between demo and deployment is closing fast.
Deere just bought a mixed-fleet tracking company. That tells you everything about where construction technology is headed.
With the market projected to reach $18.16 billion this year and a 2.2 million worker shortage looming in North America, autonomous construction equipment is moving from experimental pilot programs to essential infrastructure.
With the industry's biggest event just two weeks away, we break down the major themes, technology trends, and must-see innovations coming to Las Vegas March 3-7.
The autonomous construction startup just became a unicorn, betting that retrofitting existing heavy equipment beats building from scratch.
