Bo Mikkelsen, Head of the Machinery Division in Aarsleffs construction and earthmoving department, says:
"We see Unicontrol and the team behind as an exciting bid for machine control with 3D solutions for excavators with a swingarm in our case. Pricing is reasonable, and they are the first movers in the area of smaller-to medium-sized excavators when it comes to 3D machine control systems. Simultaneously, it is a very userfriendly and attractive solution, especially in our 8-tonnes excavators, as this segment quite often has different operators", he says.
Bo Mikkelsen also adds:
"To Aarsleff, it is essential that we have a reliable backup from our suppliers. Unicontrol is very strong in support and living up to our high expectations in their journey to become an established supplier of machine control systems"
Frank Andreasen, Machine Instructor at Aarsleff, comments:
"We have for some time been looking for a system that fits into our small and midsized excavators. The systems that we use on our bigger excavators are too expensive and complicated for the smaller machines. The system from Unicontrol, on the other hand, fits because it is easily installed and reasonably priced. It is fast and easy for the operator to get comfortable operating the system, even when he has no previous experience with machine control - this is an essential issue in a busy everyday operation like ours".
Ehsan Ekhlas, CEO in Unicontrol says:
"This is a breakthrough for us. The deal means that our products and solutions have been acknowledged and recognized by one of the major construction companies, even by northern European standards, and this can lift us to a higher level in development, both in Denmark and internationally", he says, and continues:
"And that is precisely our objective, set together with our investors and co-owners. Working with our system installed means improving efficiency because the system is developed on a high level of user-involvement and process-analyses of the construction industry's workflow".
Unicontrol has focused on research in concepts and processes in the construction sector to develop a userfriendly system.
A smoothly integrated system into an existing workflow can improve excavating operations effectively by more than 30 per cent.
