A professional operator's perspective from a Volvo cab, utilizing digital guidance systems to enhance site safety and productivity in Africa.

Operator Assist

Boost accuracy and safety at the controls. Provide your operators with real-time digital guidance to maximize productivity and reduce machine wear.

Smart technology for the modern operator

Operator assist tools transform the cab into a high-precision environment. By providing real-time feedback and automated functions, we help operators work faster, safer, and more efficiently. Whether it’s digging to exact depths or optimizing load cycles, our digital assist solutions ensure every move is optimized for performance and fuel economy.

Why choose SMT operator assist services?

Maximize productivity

Enhances your efficiency by providing precise, real-time data, ensuring every load is optimized, reducing fuel usage, and boosting productivity.

Seamless operation

Volvo Co-Pilot makes applications like On-Board Weighing and Operator Coaching easily accessible, making it simple to improve performance.

Real-time support

Features like Remote Assistance provides instant guidance and support, ensuring safe and confident operations in all conditions.

Dig/haul/Load Assist

Achieving the exact grade or target weight shouldn't rely on guesswork. Our integrated Dig, Haul, and Load Assist technologies utilize high-precision sensors and GPS data to provide operators with an absolute view of their work. By guiding the bucket to precise depths or ensuring every truck is loaded to its legal maximum, these tools eliminate costly over-excavation and rework. This level of accuracy directly translates into faster project completion times, reduced material waste, and optimized hauling cycles that keep your production costs at a minimum.

On-board Weighing

Benefit from real-time insight into the payload of your Volvo Articulated Hauler thanks to On-Board Weighing, helping you take control of your production and achieve peak productivity with every load.

Tire Pressure Monitoring System

Optimize tire life with the support of the Tire Pressure Monitoring System, which allows the operator to monitor tire pressure and temperature from the comfort of the cab.

Integrated rearview

A digital HD camera and 12” screen delivers high quality visuals of the rearview camera. The radar detect system gives off a visual and audible alert to the wheel loader operator of unseen on-coming objects, which are then displayed on the Volvo Co-Pilot screen. You will also get configuration possibilities, allowing you to adjust to new circumstances quickly.

Operator Coaching

As machines become more advanced, Operator Coaching helps operators understand how their actions influence machine productivity and efficiency, and how to use their Volvo Wheel Loader to its full potential.

Co-pilot

Fuel represents one of the largest operational expenses on any site. Our Fuel Efficiency Reports transform raw telematics data into strategic insights by identifying exactly where energy is being wasted. By pinpointing patterns such as excessive idling, improper use of work modes, or aggressive driving, we provide the clarity needed to implement targeted operator training. SMT’s experts at the Africa HQ analyze these reports to help you design a roadmap for consumption reduction, protecting your profit margins while lowering the total carbon footprint of your fleet.
