Cooperation between Nordby Maskin and Leica Geosystems: win-win for all

作者：Eskil Bjørshol, Text: Native Media

挪威明尼苏达州的一个居民区的一个建设项目涉及建造三公里的水和吸收沟，90,000吨的土方和13,000平方米的沥青铺路。去年秋天，当他们订购了22台机器的硬件和软件的全面升级时，合作变得越来越近。诺德比·马斯金（Nordby Maskin）不后悔的决定！

- The close cooperation over the course of many years has built a huge confidence in Leica Geosystems as supplier to us. The way they operate when it comes to service and support gives us the impression of being an important customer. It’s the close cooperation that is vital for us to perform work fast and efficiently on construction projects, says鲁本·瓦图姆（Ruben Wattum），Nordby Maskin AS的项目工程师。

combination of speed and efficiency is what is required for a project like this that takes place next to an area of 230 buildings. The machine control solutions just have to work.

- We have chosen Leica Geosystems as the total supplier, because they can deliver solutions for all machines, both backhoes, stakeout equipment for survey engineers, total stations, soil compactors, dozers etc.

-The software platformLeica MC1applies to all machine. I don’t know any other supplier with such a wide range of products, and it is worth a lot in a project like this, says Wattum.

Input to R&D

The satisfaction goes both ways. Key Account ManagerKim-Alexander Bakken解释说，像Nordby Maskin这样的客户的反馈使我们的产品变得更好。亚搏彩票手机版下载

- We are the total supplier of machine control products to Nordby Maskin, and we cooperate about the software development. They are some of the first customers in the world to test new software on their construction machines. That means that we receive quick feedback on what is working and what needs to be improved. Trust and a good dialogue benefit both parties, and helps them to get more productivity out or their machines, says Bakken.

– I don't know other companies with this kind of depth in ther product portfolio, says Ruben Wattum, project engineer, Nordby Maskin AS.

快速支持

Leica Geosystemsis a large supplier of machine control solutions, but that does not mean that they are difficult to get in contact with when needed or that you have to got through a large and impersonal customer care centre.

- We want to be present locally for the customers when they need us. Our goal is to offer the best solutions for our customers, also when it comes to service and support. We are a global company, yes, but we are also a solid company with local service workshops on several locations in Norway and service engineers on the road. We have service engineers all over Norway and a large support team available for phone support, at any time, Bakken continues.

每个人当然可以声称这一点，但是有帮助卡尔·马丁·诺德比（Karl Martin Nordby）the owner and business developer at Nordby Maskin validates the statements.

- We have chosen Leica Geosystems because of the scale of the organisation and the competences that their employees have. The scale of their product portfolio and the fact that they offer machine control for all the machines that we need. We only have to deal with one supplier and that saves us time in administration and support. That counts a lot for us, explains Nordby from the headquarter in Nannestad.

– At the same time as we are the total supplier of solutions to Nordby Maskin, we also cooperate on the development of the software. They are among the first customers in the world to test new software on their construction machines, says Kim-Alexander Bakken, Key Account Manager på Leica Geosystems.

双方双赢

Back in the harsh northern wind in Minnesund, the site is full of activity on the project that is planned to be finished this autumn. Stakeouts are made and a lot of excavation and earthmoving is taking place. Ruben Wattum explain that the project could not be done so efficiently without good planning and the help from connected solutions.

- This is actually a perfect project to demonstrate the advantages of good machine control solutions. We have started by building the entire project on a digital platform, so that all roads and absorption trenches are available with trench models. It makes it much faster to build because the machine operator in principle can build everything directly, he says.

Wattum himself has more than 10,000 hours of experience from working in an excavator and knows for a fact that the benefit of modern technology is a win-win for all parties.

- 当然，我们可以在没有机器控制的情况下完成此操作，但效率要差得多。通过Leica Geosystems提供的解决方案，并且在适当的培训中，它成为一个简单的选择。

- 我们在这样的项目上花费更少的时间，并吸收了水，客户节省了成本。他继续对环境产生较少的影响，因为我们在项目上花费了更少的时间。

One thing that remains from a day in the trenches in Minnesund is that Nordby Maskin has not ordered their last products from Leica Geosystems.

关于诺德比·马斯金的机器控制解决方案的事实

• Nordby Maskin AS has used2D machine control for excavatorssince 2004 (delivered by Scanlaser/Mikrofyn now Leica Geosystems)
• 3D机器控制with GNSS has been used since 2006
• 现场的模型主要由办公室中的工程师和建筑师准备，并不断通过CONX.
• 从早期设计阶段到交付最终的本期文档的80多个活跃项目。多亏了机器控制，这只能由现场的四名调查工程师完成。
• 所有项目都包括用于生产和文档的3D/BIM模型。
• Nordby Maskin拥有200多名员工。
