Topcon and Vemcon sign MoU to expand 2D-to-3D excavator upgrades

Topcon Positioning Systems has announced it has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Vemcon GmbH, a specialist in smart excavator attachments and 2D assistance systems, to initiate a collaboration to expand the availability of advanced excavator technology solutions across the EMEA regions and additional global markets.

The collaboration would bring together complementary strengths from both organizations: Vemcon’s expertise in 2D assistance systems that work with smart attachments, and Topcon’s advanced 3D machine control technology and global GNSS network. The arrangement lays the foundation to create a fully compatible upgrade path from Vemcon’s 2D solutions to Topcon’s 3D systems, offering contractors a seamless technology progression as their needs evolve.

The arrangement also presents opportunities for data integration between the two companies’ systems, with potential for future development of cloud-based solutions. This data exchange capability could provide contractors with enhanced insights into machine performance and project progress, further improving operational efficiency.
