Volvo Construction Equipment (Volvo CE) and Unicontrol have announced a partnership to introduce the software company’s 3D Machine Control technology in Volvo excavators.
The Volvo Co-Pilot will be used as the primary user interface, allowing operators to access Unicontrol3D directly from the Co-Pilot, eliminating the need for additional monitors or hardware installations.
Kurt Deleu, head of product management for excavators at Volvo CE, said: “We are committed to making advanced technology open, accessible, and easy to use. Co-Pilot is an open platform where we welcome partners to join us in delivering innovative solutions. Unicontrol is the latest to come on board, bringing seamless and flexible 3D machine control to our customers. Integrated directly into Dig Assist, this collaboration ensures greater freedom, efficiency, and simplicity – without added complexity – on every job site”.
Niels Bjerregaard, CEO at Unicontrol, added: “The demand for flexible and accessible 3D machine control has never been higher. The intended partnership between Volvo CE and Unicontrol will set a new standard by prioritising efficiency, adaptability, and ease of use.”
