Proactive Dozing Control fundamentally differs from the previous machine control and other bolt-on technologies in the market. The technology and capabilities are fully integrated with the machine instead of just being a standalone GPS add-on. With Proactive Dozing Control, the machine continuously uses as-built mapping and saves the data each pass, allowing the job to be done better and quicker. For example, the system senses track slippage when the blade is overloaded and will lift the blade slowly, removing track slippage.

The difference is evident when you're stripping topsoil. Because it senses and remembers the terrain, a dozer equipped with Proactive Dozing Control can strip the topsoil perfectly without mixing material. Black dirt/live soil should be kept as clean as possible so contractors can repurpose it in later stages of the job. As mixed material piles are considered waste, contractors will end up hauling more waste piles rather than leaving them on site.

We are a company that focuses only on extensively supporting the equipment we sell. SMS Equipment provides complete service and training support and has set up our organization's infrastructure to support customer operations long after the machine is handed over. The typical SMS Equipment field employee has years of experience on job sites and a tonne of application knowledge. They can discuss equipment from top to bottom, how to use it efficiently and increase productivity, and how to keep it running in optimal condition. 

I have worked in this industry for over 30 years, including roles as a contractor. So, I can "talk dirt" with customers about their problems, their application and how they can use a particular machine. I know how much it costs to do a job. I know how much it costs to load trucks. I know problems from the project management side, the estimating side, and the operating side. These are the topics my customers want to discuss.

• Traditional machine control has helped contractors improve productivity, but the typical GPS-enabled system was a standalone add-on that was relatively limited.
• Komatsu Proactive Dozing Control takes machine control to a new level by introducing an integrated approach where the system responds to the terrain, the machine and GPS information.
• The new technology supports a "finish as you go" approach that eliminates rework and improves overall Efficiency.
• The new technology is popular with operators as it helps them focus on what they do best and improve their performance. 

New iMC 2.0 dozers increase production up to 60% with the ability to use automatics from grass-to-grade.

• Lift layer control uses the shape of the existing terrain to place lifts consistently with high accuracy, reducing compaction rework
• Create a temporary design with quick surface creation
• Tilt steering control automatically tilts blade to maintain straight travel during rough dozing and reduces track slip
