Unlock precision, productivity, and profitability — even on legacy machines.

At C.N. Wood, we’re helping contractors of all sizes bridge the gap between old-school iron and new-era intelligence. Whether you're running a full fleet of Komatsu equipment or integrating mixed machines, Smart Construction 3D Machine Guidance lets you harness the power of 3D technology — without a full fleet overhaul.

What is Smart Construction 3D Machine Guidance?

This entry-level solution brings 3D topography and design capabilities to most Komatsu conventional excavators, allowing your operators to work smarter and faster — and your office teams to make decisions with confidence.

🔹 Easily installed through your local C.N. Wood service team

🔹 Compatible with most Komatsu excavator models

🔹 Uses GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) to pinpoint location and grade

🔹 Designed for bring-your-own-device configuration

🔹 Connects seamlessly to Smart Construction apps and cloud-based reporting

💡 Already using KOMTRAX to monitor fleet health and performance? Adding 3D guidance helps optimize operations even further with actionable, real-time production insights.

Why Upgrade with 3D Guidance?

✅ Lower Startup Costs Compact and modular kits make this an affordable upgrade that brings instant value to your fleet. No lasers. No constant re-staking. Just powerful precision.

✅ Fast Production Gains Give operators access to the latest 3D design files and reduce rework by placing materials exactly where they belong — the first time.

✅ Track Progress from the Office Monitor load counts, payload volumes, and as-built data without leaving your desk. This reduces job site visits and helps managers stay proactive with planning.

✅ Address Labor Shortages With guidance on screen and machine location tracked remotely, fewer people need to be in the trench or on the ground. That’s a win for both safety and staffing.

✅ Prevent Overloading A built-in payload meter helps avoid equipment wear or damage from overweight hauls. Keep your trucks, and your budget, in good shape.

Integrate Across Your Smart Construction Ecosystem

Pair 3D Machine Guidance with other Smart Construction technologies to create a connected workflow that grows with your operation. From telematics with KOMTRAX to remote diagnostics, fuel tracking, and job site visualizations, C.N. Wood has the tools and local support to help you build smarter.
