Landfill operators are increasingly realising the huge productivity and operational gains that machine guidance and reporting solutions can deliver. These landfill management tools offer a host of benefits to landfill operations such as optimised density, increased safety, reduced leachate and the ability to eliminate overfill. Machine operators typically embrace these systems and learn to use them very quickly, however some sites struggle to see who will have the time or skills to manage and optimise the data these platforms deliver back in the office. Getting up to speed with new technology can be daunting, especially when everyone is strapped for time. But with a little support, even if it is just to get everything up and running smoothly

What is machine control? Machine control systems allow contractors to maintain tight tolerances which led to great material savings and the cost reduction cost of earthmoving operations. All of this added to the contractor’s bottom line. Machine control technology is quickly becoming standard and contractors are realising that they need to implement this technology simply to stay competitive. Bidding a job now without factoring in the productivity gains from machine control is becoming increasingly difficult. We hope this information will serve to educate the reader and assist those who are contemplating investing in machine control in making an informed decision. For those who are already using this technology, we will explore ways to maximise the utilisation and productivity
