JCB and Leica Geosystems offer factory-fitted 2D and 2D with 3D ready machine control solutions for 220X Series JCB excavators

JCB and Leica Geosystems partnered to offer factory-fitted 2D and 2D with 3D ready semi-automated excavator control solutions.

This partnership delivers a streamlined factory-to-jobsite solution to enhance the overall customer experience by reducing complexities and optimising the installation of machine control technology directly in the factory. Customers can now seamlessly acquire both the machine control solution and the JCB excavator in one single package. Eliminating the need for additional steps or downtime, customers can focus more on their core operations, saving valuable time and resources.


Optimise your efficiency

Streamlining from factory to jobsite, this collaboration between Leica Geosystems and JCB offers a hassle-free, all-in-one package, saving you time and resources.

Solutions for excavators

Get the very best, tried and tested components, fully validated for 220X Series machines and supported by JCB’s global support and service network. Also, customers can benefit from a future-proof way to ensure an easy and cost-efficient upgrade path for now or in the future from 2D to 3D.

A 2D machine control system provides real-time guidance and accuracy for tasks such as grading and levelling, ensuring the excavator’s bucket or blade achieves the desired slope or elevation.

By choosing the 2D with 3D ready option, customers now have the flexibility to initially choose the 2D installation option while still having the opportunity to benefit from the 3D capabilities in the future. This configuration will ensure an easy and cost-efficient upgrade path from 2D to 3D.

Both 2D and 3D machine control solutions are available with semi-auto configuration to enhance productivity, accuracy, and safety by automating certain functions and reducing human error in construction operations.

Sales and support

The sale and support of JCB 220X Series machines with 2D or 2D with 3D ready factory fit machine control solution is handled by the JCB dealership.

Customers wishing to upgrade the 2D factory solution to a 3D solution can simply contact their local Leica Geosystems selling unit or dealer, and they will support with calibration and installation either at the JCB dealership or at customer premises.

Heavy construction ecosystem

Complex environments like heavy construction sites require simple, integrated, and modern solutions for smooth data exchange, efficient workflows, and automation that enable the users to achieve more.

Leica ConX automatically synchronises with the Leica MC1 solution and allows progress tracking, reporting, volume calculations, and model creation, providing a comprehensive overview of the project’s status.

Moreover, MC1 can be used with various safety awareness solutions to ensure a safer working place and minimal disruption of construction assets and infrastructure. Leica Geosystems’ field software, controllers, and Smart Antennas provide construction-tailored solutions to enable smart digital positioning and measurement workflows.
