Liebherr takes the next step towards the connected construction site and mine

Liebherr presented intelligent operator assistance systems, digital fleet applications, and connected service solutions at steinexpo 2026 to enhance worksite safety and efficiency.  www.liebherr.com Liebherr showcased assistance systems, digital applications, and connected service solutions for construction, quarrying, and mining operations at steinexpo 2026, which took place from September 2 to 5, 2026, in Homberg/Nieder-Ofleiden, Germany. The digital portfolio addresses operational safety requirements, repetitive machine tasks, fleet management, and scheduled maintenance workflows. Machine Control and Earthmoving Automation Earthmoving accuracy is supported through 2D and 3D machine control platforms designed for precision excavation and grading. For bulk material loading, the Bucket Filling Assist (BFA) function automates stockpile penetration for Liebherr Generation 8 crawler excavators, optimizing loading cycles and boom movements to maintain uniform bucket fill levels. Payload management is managed by the Liebherr weighing system, which provides application-specific functions for articulated dump trucks and wheel loaders to prevent vehicle underloading or overloading during haul cycles. Operational equipment for wheel loaders also incorporates adaptive work area lighting and integrated tire pressure monitoring systems. Worksite Safety and Vision Systems Collision avoidance features include active pedestrian detection equipped with automatic brake assist, demonstrated on Liebherr XPower wheel loaders both in the pavilion and in field operation. The system uses visual and acoustic alerts to notify operators of moving obstacles or personnel in hazardous zones. Surrounding site monitoring utilizes the Skyview 360° multi-camera network to reduce cab blind spots, pairing with pedestrian detection to improve visibility. Crawler dozers are fitted with OAS operator assistance systems, which provide graduated automation levels for complex grading tasks. Ergonomics, Simulation, and Cab Control Machine interaction is structured through the INTUSI operating concept, an adaptive interface that integrates machine data and assistance functions into a central control console. Ergonomic cab concepts also highlight steering-wheel-free layouts that utilize joystick steering systems. For operator training, the Liebherr mobile simulator integrates original earthmoving controls with simulated environment models, replicating standard worksite scenarios for training applications without physical operational risks. Fleet Connectivity and Diagnostics Digital monitoring is coordinated through MyLiebherr Maintenance and Performance, the MyAssistant app, and the IoMine ecosystem. MyLiebherr Maintenance consolidates machine service histories and technical status to schedule maintenance interventions. Fuel consumption and capacity metrics are logged by MyLiebherr Performance to assess operating costs. Within the IoMine Maintain portfolio, the Data View tool benchmarks machine health across fleets using telematics events and onboard assistance data. Direct servicing access is supported by LiDIAG Customer, which reads machine operational parameters, coordinates troubleshooting, pushes software updates, and adjusts hydraulic configurations.
