What is Machine Control in Surveying?

Machine control systems represent a significant advancement in the construction industry, revolutionizing how machinery operates on-site. But what exactly is machine control? Essentially, it refers to the precise management of construction equipment to enhance efficiency and accuracy in various tasks. For instance, in grading, a machine control system enables tractors to compare a digital grading map with the blade's position, ensuring it cuts to the correct elevation and position on the job site. This is achieved through advanced GPS and GNSS technology, which provides accurate positional and elevation data, leading to a more streamlined and precise construction process.
