Accuracy

For earthmoving equipment our solutions can determine the position of the cutting edge such as the bucket teeth of an excavator or the blade of a dozer within just a few centimetres. This information is displayed to the operator in real time on a touch screen computer and has proven to significantly improve productivity, efficiency and site safety.

Safety

Knowing where structures, equipment and personnel are in a 3D digital world offers a range of methods to improve site safety around mobile equipment. All APS systems feature sophisticated GPS enabled Fixed Hazard Collision Avoidance (FHCA) capabilities that can be augmented with a range of options to create tailored solutions for customers.

Technology

APS are firmly committed to Open Systems and Industry Standards. Our products are all built on open, flexible standards to ensure rapid adoption of new technologies as they evolve; and the ability to work with any existing or legacy systems.
At APS we not only speak in acronyms like SQL, XML, TCP/IP, CAN, J1939, NMEA, RTCM, 802.11, UDP, EDGE, and HSDPA – we know how to use them!
