How to Build GPS Machine Control Models Faster

Modeling applies to the physical representation of the finished project and tracking the construction processes and progress of how to get there. AGTEK solutions enable models to be created based on a variety of data including PDF and CAD. Machine and Grade Control models can be created for all major equipment models and technology manufactures including John Deere, Caterpillar, Komatsu, Trimble, Topcon, and Leica Geosystems. Whether optimizing areas of cut and fill, planning hauls, refining the construction process, or creating the surface model your GPS machine control system requires, AGTEK has a solution for you.

The ability to visualize the project as it will appear upon completion (“What you see is what you build”) reinforces the accuracy of the models created, thereby reducing errors and optimizing construction strategies. AGTEK’s modeling solutions calculate cut and fill volumes from the same model that drives your machine control system, help you plan material hauls, and streamline the overall construction workflow.

Customer Story
GPS Modeling with AGTEK

Build Models from PDF, CAD and Survey Data

From the outset, AGTEK’s software integrates data from diverse sources—whether from private engineering firms or government agencies—to craft detailed, constructible models. These models facilitate both finished and subgrade construction by calculating accurate cut-and-fill volumes for each phase.

Machine Control Models for Mixed Fleets

AGTEK’s software is designed to support various construction machinery, including dozers, graders, scrapers, excavators, and curb and gutter pavers. Its intuitive interface simplifies the modeling process, making it accessible even to those new to using GPS-based machine control systems. With compatibility across various data formats, AGTEK’s solutions cater to a mixed fleet, providing a comprehensive modeling tool for all equipment types.

Tech Tip

Track Progress Against the Model

As the project progresses, real-time data from machine control systems, grade checkers, or drones is integrated into the AGTEK software, allowing for swift and precise progress tracking. This updated information on cut-and-fill volumes is made readily available to project teams, enhancing decision-making in the field through mobile apps and enabling seamless export to third-party systems. This connectivity ensures that every team member is informed and can make the best possible decisions based on the latest data.
