The Investment in Machine Control-is it worth it?

I read a recent reader’s poll on machine control recently.  When asked how many existing users planned to purchase more machine control in the future; seventy-nine percent indicated they will buy more in the next year.

 

As I have written many times in the past; machine control technology provides an excellent return on investment and increases the competitive nature of your bids.  Yet, it is not inexpensive.  One of the mental barriers to adopting new technology has always been the fear that it is over-hyped and not worth the investment.  With such a vast majority going back for more, I think that fear can be put to rest.

 

Obviously, those who have embraced machine control are seeing the benefits on their real-world jobs and becoming more profitably as a result.  Why else would they invest in more systems?  Whether you see machine control as a competitive advantage, or just a tool to improve your bottom line; it is here to stay and the market acceptance is increasing even in these challenging times.

 

If you are sitting on the fence, take these numbers to heart. It is obvious from these numbers that those who have already taken the leap of faith are looking to expand their investment in this technology even further.
