Komatsu and its subsidiary EARTHBRAIN will sell the jointly developed remote control system for construction machinery, ”SCT (Smart Construction Teleoperation),” through Komatsu customer support locations nationwide.
This system allows you to remotely control a hydraulic excavator from a safe and comfortable environment such as an office. By linking with various smart construction solutions, you can remotely control hydraulic excavators while monitoring the operation of dump trucks, or switch between multiple construction machines from a single cockpit.
There are two types of cockpits used for remote control: the “Intelligent Circle” type and  “Spaceship” type.
This system has been adopted by Hirose, a general construction company.
