Aimed at smaller contractors, Unicontrol is offering up a simple cost-effective machine control option
Unicontrol says it has a tailored solution for small to medium-sized construction companies looking to incorporate machine control into their operations – the Unicontrol2D system.
It says the solution is designed to make precision excavation easy to use and open to everyone, as well as providing a future-proof first step on the journey to 3D machine control.
Unicontrol says 2D machine control is the ideal choice for companies facing tight budget constraints or those without a continuous project pipeline. Users can start reaping the benefits immediately as it can be easily retrofitted to existing equipment.
With small and medium-sized construction businesses finding it particularly hard as costs rise and margins are squeezed, 2D machine control technology can provide the helping hand they need to achieve their goals. Unicontrol2D means they can work faster, more precisely and more efficiently, increasing margins, minimising rework and preventing over-digging.

Following Unicontrol’s recent acquisition by Spectra Precision, a manufacturer of laser positioning systems, the new 2D system integrates with Spectra Precision’s high-quality lasers and laser receivers, providing instant feedback and accuracy to ± 2 mm. Real-time guidance, remote diagnostics and updates, and a built-in cut/fill display ensures the correct depth and slope is achieved every time.
Unicontrol’s solution comes with straightforward upgrade paths to 3D machine control, simply by adding GNSS antennas, as business needs evolve.
“Unicontrol’s new 2D machine control solution is not just a tool for today – it’s an investment in your company’s future,” Unicontrol CEO Niels Bjerregaard says.
“We understand the challenges small and medium construction companies face in integrating advanced technologies into their operations. Unicontrol2D allows companies of all sizes to embrace the technology of the future without the initial financial strain. And combined with Spectra’s high-quality lasers and laser receivers, end users have an even larger range of projects they can work on efficiently.”
