Ohio Cat Draws Attention to Machine Control Cost Savings

Operator Proficiency Translates to Jobsite Savings

The benefits of machine control are clear - increased productivity, higher quality work, less rework, and more efficient use of materials. But what about the cost savings? How much can you really save by using machine control on your jobsite?

According to a recent study by the Association of Equipment Manufacturers (AEM), machine control can save you up to 25% on your overall project costs. These savings come from a variety of sources, including reduced labor costs, lower material costs and faster project completion times.

One of the biggest cost savings comes from reduced labor costs. With machine control, operators can work more efficiently and accurately, which means they can get more done in less time. This can free up labor for other tasks, or it can allow you to reduce your overall workforce size.

Another cost saving comes from lower material costs. With machine control, operators can more precisely control the amount of materials they use, which can lead to significant savings. For example, a study by the University of California, Davis found that machine control can save up to 10% on concrete costs.

Finally, machine control can help you complete projects faster. This is because machine control can eliminate the need for rework, and it can also help you to avoid costly mistakes. As a result, you can get your projects done on time and on budget.

Here are some specific examples of how machine control has saved money for contractors:

• A contractor in Ohio saved $20,000 on a single project by using machine control to grade a site.
• A contractor in California saved $50,000 on a project by using machine control to install a sewer line.
• A contractor in Texas saved $100,000 on a project by using machine control to build a new road.

If you're looking for ways to save money on your next project, machine control is a great option to consider. Machine control can help you to reduce labor costs, lower material costs, and complete projects faster.
