Frederick Construction and Development Company in Rochester, New York, is a highway heavy construction company.。The company works on small projects.、Regional leader in municipal projects and concrete contracting。Although the company is small.，But an aggressive company.，For 15 years，They always have beenGPSAnd based onGNSSA proponent of mechanical control solutions，This is also the key to their success.。
But recently they have found themselves increasingly less dependent.、A more compact machine。Although smaller Excavators are better suited to the compact places where they often work，But do not provide the same level of 3 as larger machinesDMechanical Control System Solutions。However，This situation took a positive turn in a recent project.。They're fromTopconPositioning Systems has introduced a product called.MC-MobileA new solution forServe them，Not only brought them previously unavailable 3.DControl System，You can also use the same solution for design and lofting in your work.。This has brought their operations to a level of efficiency they never anticipated.，And very popular.。
“We first came into contact withTopcon HiPerSeriesGNSSReceiver，It is widely used in municipal project lofting and completion survey.。This changed our construction philosophy.，It makes us naturally enter the field of mechanical control.。

The shed（SHED）Project
Frederic is referring to a project that costs 1..$500 million glass and steel project——SHEDStudent Exploration and Development Hall（Student Hall for Exploration and Development）An accurate abbreviation for。The project starts in 2020.，First it was doneSHEDAnd after all excavation and backfilling of the adjacent Wallace Library foundation，Since then, the Wallace Library has undergone a major renovation.，Forcing the project to stop work for nearly two years.。But when this yearFDCBack toSHEDAt project time，It was found that the newly built building was blocked.GPSSignal，Make very dependentGPSThe staff became at a loss.。
Luckily,，FDCFromWOCIn the exhibition, we saw the upcomingGPSA real solution to the occlusion problem——Topcon LN-150 lofting robot。It can lay foundation anchor bolts with amazing accuracy.。This is related toFDCAtSHEDA lot of the work is similar.。

Excellent flexibility
MC-MobileSolutions are modular in design，Utilize key elements of measurement and mechanical control technology to improve efficiency，While reducing staffing requirements and costly wait times。FDC's Staff found the solution to be both easy to learn and easy to use。
FDCHead of Sade Anderson said：“It is impressive that，We can easily perform lofting and other measurement-based functions using a tablet that sits on the centering bar。Then when we are ready to enter the Excavator and use 3.DDuring mechanical control，We just need to remove the plate from the centering bar.，Fixed to the support of the Excavator，FromPocket 3DSoftware switches to mechanical control 3D MCSoftware，We can start and run the excavator 3.DThe system。It makes the two construction processes seamless and efficient connection.，Perfect for us。”

Double responsibility
Frederic did not hesitate to point out，Efficiency and benefit are the key，Especially given the current challenging labour market——Hard to find people with the right technology.。AndMC-MobileIt can maximize the productivity of employees.，Make work more efficient，More competitive。
FDCThe versatility of the site has also been greatly improved.， Because MC-MobileAnd based onGNSS3DSolutions work well together。At a construction site where large machinery is used，If there is a problem with satellite coverage in an area，WillLN-150 is set on the control point，And use it to run mini-diggers in areas with poor satellite coverage.。Productivity can be improved，Eliminate waiting time for measurement。
“We immediately see，With this system,，Two people can set out in different jobs.。“

One more set.
WOCFrederick and his team were certainly impressed by what was on display that day.，So that they are not sure which excavator will be used in the future.，A second set was ordered on the spot.MC-MobileSystem。
Anderson said：“We found out immediately，With this system,，Two people can set out in different jobs.。Or a separate two-person team could be out at the same time.——One person to do mapping and lofting，One-man operation of machinery。It feels like two systems give us the benefit of four.。MC-MobileIt did double our productivity.。”
