Hitachi’s LANDCROS One embodies this philosophy through four pillars:
1. Intelligence that empowers operators
The concept’s integrated AI and automation systems fundamentally change the operator experience by handling routine tasks and providing intelligent assistance during complex operations.
The functional design integrates cameras, sensors, and advanced digital assist systems co-developed with strategic partners. With combined onboard and offboard landscape scanning capabilities, including drone technology, LANDCROS One serves as a cornerstone in creating a comprehensive construction ecosystem.
This intelligent support system reduces operator fatigue, increases productivity, and helps address the industry’s ongoing labour shortage by making advanced equipment more appealing to newer operators.
2. Global operations 24/7
LANDCROS One features connectivity and remote operation capabilities. The machine can be controlled from virtually anywhere, enabling true 24/7 operation through different time zones and allowing specialized operators to work across multiple sites without physical relocation.
These capabilities not only maximize equipment utilization but also enhance safety by removing operators from remote, difficult, and hazardous environments while maintaining control over operations.
3. Flexible operation for every skill level
Recognizing the diverse needs of today’s construction workforce, the excavator offers three distinct operation modes:
- Manual mode provides complete control for operators supported by AI assistance, for standard or complex tasks reducing fatigue and increasing productivity.
- Autonomous mode triggered by operator instructions for repetitive and predicted tasks.
- Remote mode enables full operation from any location, 24/7 providing flexibility with operator availability around the world.
4. Adaptive power systems for every job site
Environmental responsibility meets operational flexibility with the concept’s propulsion system available in three distinct power modes: electric, combustion, or hydrogen.
