Doosan Infracore announced on April 09 that Doosan Infracore and Doosan Bobcat participated in BAUMA 2019, a construction machinery exhibition held in Munich, Germany from April 8 to 14 (local time). BAUMA, the world's largest construction machinery trade show, is held every three years to present the latest products including excavators, cranes, road equipment and mining machinery as well as the related cutting-edge technologies.
Doosan Infracore introduced its 5G-based construction machinery remote control technology to the European market for the first time at the trade show. It demonstrated how to remotely control an excavator in Incheon, Korea while sitting 8,500 kilometers away from the 5G Remote Control Station (Control Center) set up in Munich, Germany.
Previously, in 2018, Doosan Infracore demonstrated for the first time in the world the ‘880km’ cross-border ultra-long-range remote control of heavy equipment at BAUMA-China 2018 held in Shanghai. With this latest cross-border demonstration of its remote control technology, Doosan Infracore has proven its technological capability to control construction machinery from anywhere in the world. Doosan Infracore is working together with LG U+ to develop 5G-based remote control technologies for heavy equipment.
At the Munich trade show, Doosan Infracore also introduced its 3D Machine Guidance solutions which can precisely measure the width and depth of excavation work with 3D information supplied by sensors installed in excavators; its telematics technology, DoosanCONNECT™, which can remotely monitor construction machinery; and an integrated service program called DoosanCARE.
An official of Doosan Infracore said, "Visitors showed an enthusiastic response to the company’s innovative construction machinery solutions that utilize the telecommunications technology of Korea, the first country in the world to launch a commercialized 5G service," adding, “We will consolidate our position as the technical leader in the construction machinery industry by accelerating our advances in automation and unmanned technology for heavy equipment, including convergence with cutting-edge ICT.”
Doosan Infracore also introduced a number of excavators and wheel loaders that meet the requirements of the new European emission standards (Stage-V*), which took effect at the beginning of this year. Doosan Infracore introduced twenty-three construction machines in total, including sixteen excavator models ranging from 1-ton compacts to 80-ton super-large excavators, 5-wheel loaders and an articulated dump truck with a new exterior design. The company also featured three types of compact, eco-friendly, high-efficiency G2 engines.
