“This partnership seamlessly integrates the advanced capabilities of Develon’s 2D systems with Leica Geosystems’ 3D technology. With an efficient installation and calibration process, this collaboration empowers customers to work smarter and achieve results faster”

Says Neil Williams, President of the Machine Control Division at Leica Geosystems.

The Series 9 excavators are built with an advanced, open control architecture that allows real-time communication between the excavator’s built-in sensors and Leica Geosystems’ 3D machine control systems.

Through this control-level integration, operators can access Leica Geosystems’ precise 3D automation while continuing to benefit from Develon’s industry-leading 2D technologies, including Virtual Wall for defining safe operation boundaries, Weighing System for real-time load measurement and Advanced Lift Assist for enhanced lifting stability.

This allows customers to upgrade to 3D simply by installing the Leica MC1 aftermarket kit. By combining Develon’s control technology with Leica’s 3D solutions, the Series 9 ecosystem becomes smarter, more versatile, and better connected for modern jobsite requirements.
