Faced with a looming shortage of skilled construction workers in Japan, Komatsu’s Smart Construction was born to ingeniously fill the gap with automated dozers and excavators. But existing methods like ground-based scanners couldn’t deliver the necessary terrain data at the level of speed and accuracy needed to power the heavy machinery. Komatsu partnered with Skycatch to bring their revolutionary Smart Construction heavy equipment to life, and created the world’s first machine-to-machine automated construction equipment.
