Safety Awareness

Leica MC1 is a powerful, all-in-one machine control software solution designed to support a wide range of heavy construction machinery applications and use cases. Its feature-rich environment enables everything from basic tasks to highly complex workflows, making it the ideal solution for diverse project needs. With intuitive interfaces and smart tools, Leica MC1 empowers even less experienced operators to perform jobs with confidence and quickly enables them to become self-sufficient. Backed by extensive OEM factory and aftermarket collaborations, Leica MC1 is trusted by leading manufacturers and contractors alike, positioning Hexagon as a preferred partner in the heavy construction industry.

Leica ConX is a cloud-based platform that connects the field and office through remote data exchange, enabling efficient collaboration across all phases of a construction project. It allows for the synchronisation and visualisation of reference models and as-built field data, ensuring everyone is working with the latest information. The platform supports both open industry-standard formats and Leica Geosystems’ proprietary data formats. With an open approach to API development focused on delivering the best user experience, we collaborate with numerous companies to ensure smooth data exchange between Leica ConX and customer-preferred site management software such as AGTEK, Infrakit, and more. The platform also provides machine location history for tracking and analysis, and enables users to capture and share images directly from onboard machine cameras or field controllers for accurate documentation and reporting. With remote access to the Leica MCP80 panel, support teams can view and control the interface instantly, reducing downtime and improving responsiveness in case of troubleshooting.

From straightforward tasks like road stakeouts and as-built checks to complex construction projects such as tunnel building, the Leica iCON field and Leica Captivate software provide the right tools for every professional. These field software solutions are designed to support a wide range of construction workflows with accuracy, efficiency, and ease of use. Leica iCON field offers flexible purchasing options to suit diverse customer needs, as customers can choose a one-time license with upgrade options or opt for a tiered subscription plan that grows with their projects. Paired with Smart Antennas, field controllers, and total stations, these solutions are ready to tackle any measuring and positioning task with confidence and accuracy.

Hexagon’s safety portfolio for heavy construction combines advanced technologies to enhance safety awareness across the jobsite. The Leica Xsight360, an AI-powered safety awareness solution, offers up to 360° coverage and real-time risk detection through form recognition of people, vehicles, and construction cones. Complementing this are wearables and collision avoidance systems from Leica Geosystems, which enhance situational awareness for both workers and operators. 3D avoidance zone automation further protects people and infrastructure by controlling machine hydraulics to prevent destruction of underground utilities or other hazardous areas. All safety events are captured and analysed through the Leica ConX Safety Awareness cloud platform, providing real-time, geo-tagged insights for proactive risk management. Additionally, Xwatch delivers machine-integrated safety features such as height and slew control, overload protection, and motion monitoring, ensuring safe, compliant, and efficient operation across all types of construction equipment.
