To understand how machine control is revolutionizing the construction industry, one must first understand what is meant by the term "machine control" and the reasons for its development. Simply put, machine control hardware and software solutions were developed to determine a machine’s current position on the earth and compare it with the desired design surface. Using data from satellites or even total stations and 3D models, the technology ensures that machine operators can accurately position machinery, check grade, automate equipment functions, and collect data. Through the use of various positioning sensors and a display screen, machine control systems give operators a clear reference between the position of the machine bucket or blade and the design surface.

After a day of multitasking in the tractor cab cutting hay, Jared Swiontek would feel every acre. The combination of manually navigating the disc mower across rolling, puzzle-piece shaped fields of 60 acres or less while dodging rocks or gopher holes took a physical and mental toll.
