**Komatsu Intelligent Machine Control 2.0 is here !**

# Intelligent Machine Control

No longer does an operator need to look to a grade checker/laborer or ground stakes for guidance on where to move the earth. Now, 3D design data is fully integrated into the machine and the operator is guided to work at high efficiency. [Intelligent machines](https://info.essltd.com/komatsudozers) control the blade and bucket with sophisticated [automation](https://4079460.hubspotpreview-na1.com/_hcms/preview/content/18388935807?portalId=4079460&_preview=true&from_buffer=false&preview_key=vsGjChUO), aligning material movement to design decisions. Talk to our experts about how our new intelligent machine control 2.0 can deliver higher levels of productivity, even if you’re low on experienced operators. Now, more than ever, you can have confidence that your machines will produce to your expectations.

**Bucket angle hold control**  
Empower your operator with bucket angle hold control that automatically holds the bucket angle to the design surface during arm operation, allowing the operator to perform finish grading using only arm input.

**Auto tilt bucket control**  
Auto tilt bucket control helps the operator align the bucket parallel with the slope so that finish grading can be accomplished without having to align the machine with the target surface.

 

**Proactive Dozing Control**  
Automatically cut/strip from existing terrain like an experienced operator. Machine measures terrain it tracks over and uses it to plan next pass. Now over 60% more productive than previous generation.

**Lift Layer Control**  
Automatically spreads fill from existing terrain with one press of the button. Machine measures terrain it tracks over and uses it to plan next pass. Double your production and achieve consistent layers for compaction quality.

**Tilt Steering Control**  
Automatically tilts blade to maintain straight travel during rough dozing. Reduce operator steering input by up to 80% .

**Quick Surface Creation**  
Create a temporary design surface with one press of the button. Combined with our other functions, begin stripping or spreading using autos while waiting for your finish grade model.
