2D VS 3D Grade Control for Excavators

Image
As construction sites become larger, more complex, and most importantly, more precisely planned, more and more machine control products are demanded by the construction industry. Since excavator is the most commonly used machine in construction, people have developed a variety of auxiliary and guided construction products to make the most of it. Among those products, the grade control system is the most widely-used excavator control system today.  So, what is the difference between 2D and 3D grade control for excavators? We offer you a detailed comparative introduction regarding their principles, applications, advantages, etc. 2D VS 3D Grade Control Principle First of all, a concept needs to be clarified. When we talk about 2D or 3D grade control system for excavators, we do not refer to the models displayed on the control terminal. The terminal display model of 2D grade control can be a 3D model, and 3D grade control can be a 2D model.   The 2D and 3D here represent two positioning al

How GNSS & RTK Technology Achieve High-Precision Positioning?

  GNSS combined with RTK is a solution that can realize real-time precise positioning, and the positioning accuracy reaches centimeter level. It is widely used in application scenarios that require high-precision positioning. GPS as a kind of GNSS, people often use RTK GPS technology to refer to RTK GNSS technology. GNSS What is GNSS? GNSS, short for Global Navigation Satellite System, is a space-based radio positioning system that consists of one or more constellations of satellites. It refers broadly to all satellite navigation systems including global, regional and augmented. GNSS provides Positioning, Navigation and Timing (PNT) information signals from space for global or regional users. Satellites in space transmit information to GNSS receivers on Earth. This information is then used to determine position. What is Difference Between GNSS and GPS? GPS is a type of GNSS. There are 4 kinds of fully operational GNSS in the world: GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, BeiDou.   System GPS BeiDou / B
