Liebherr Offers Free Modeling Machine Control
Equipment operators can create and modify simple 3D site models directly from Liebherr cabins using the company’s new Free Modeling assistance system. By integrating a GNSS machine control system with advanced sensors and real-time data visualization, Free Modeling enables operators to make real-time decisions based on current site conditions.

Operators can visualize projects in three dimensions, according to the company, which enables a proactive approach to site management. By reducing reliance on dedicated site surveyors, Free Modeling saves time and reduces lowers labor costs.
For instance, if unexpected obstacles arise, operators can adjust their plans in real-time, minimizing delays and ensuring that the project stays on schedule. This flexibility is particularly valuable in road construction, where conditions can change rapidly due to weather, traffic, or other unforeseen factors, according to the company.
The ability to create and modify site models directly from the machinery allows for rapid adjustments, ensuring that any changes in site conditions are addressed promptly, according to Liebherr. Free Modeling enhances accuracy by providing operators with real-time data, which reduces the likelihood of errors that can arise from miscommunication or outdated plans.
The system allows real-time data to be accessible to everyone on the project, project managers, engineers, and operators. This transparency fosters a collaborative environment where issues can be addressed quickly, and solutions can be implemented efficiently, according to the company.
A user-friendly, intuitive interface allows operators to quickly adapt to the technology without extensive training. The interface features clear visualizations and easy-to-understand controls. Operators can switch between different views, zoom in on specific areas, and manipulate the 3D models with simple gestures.
