The IHC eXcavator Position Monitor (XPM®) provides underwater vision for excavator dredger operators and accurately presents the excavating or dumping tool in relation to a digital terrain model (DTM). Operator-adjustable lines and alarms assist in preventing under- and overdredging close to set tolerances. The tool position is calculated from dedicated sensors and positioning data.
- Improved dredging accuracy, allowing dredging close to set tolerances
- Improves operational efficiency, and saves fuel costs and emissions
- Dedicated controllers prolong lifetime of pontoon and machine
- Routine jobs performed by operator-supervised automation
- Large installed base
