The Unicontrol3D system will be fully integrated with Volvo Active Control, providing one interface with one set of hardware for effortless accessibility. The platform will help excavator operators work with more speed, precision and efficiency: whether they’re digging trenches, grading slopes or creating site profiles.
When customers order the Volvo Co-Pilot with Dig Assist — the Volvo CE machine control system for excavators — from the factory, all necessary hardware and software are installed. The only additional step is to activate the Unicontrol3D application.
“We always aim to make advanced technology approachable, and the Volvo Co-Pilot is an open platform where partners can join us in delivering innovative solutions,” said Matthew McLean, Product Manager — Assist Systems at Volvo CE. “Unicontrol is the latest to come on board, bringing flexible 3D machine control that boosts productivity and simplicity for our customers.”

Impressive Adaptability
Unicontrol is a fast-growing disruptor in 3D machine control owned by U.S.-based Spectra Precision, providing open, flexible and cost-efficient solutions. Aligned with the Volvo CE commitment to digital innovation, the Denmark-based company allows Volvo CE to offer more choices to its customers so they get the right technology for their needs.
Unlike traditional closed systems, Unicontrol3D is designed for adaptability. The software seamlessly integrates with any type of excavator, any data format and any workflow, allowing contractors to optimize mixed fleets without being locked into a single ecosystem.
“The demand for flexible and accessible 3D machine control is not slowing down,” said Martin Kirkmand, CEO at Unicontrol. “And this partnership with Volvo CE shows how well we’re responding to that demand with technology that prioritizes efficiency, versatility and ease of use.”
See It at CONEXPO
CONEXPO-CON/AGG attendees can see the tech in action at the Volvo CE booth (F24029 in the Festival Grounds) with live demonstrations of the new Volvo Active Control with Unicontrol3D.
