Unicontrol's 3D machine control now available on Volvo excavators in North America
Unicontrol3D is adaptable to different excavators, data formats, and workflows — ideal for contractors with mixed fleets
Following a 2025 rollout in Europe, Volvo Construction Equipment and Unicontrol have announced that the 3D machine control technology is now available on Volvo CE excavators in North America.
The Unicontrol3D system will be fully integrated with Volvo Active Control, providing one interface with one set of hardware for effortless accessibility. The platform will help excavator operators work with more speed, precision, and efficiency: whether they're digging trenches, grading slopes, or creating site profiles.
Volvo Co-Pilot with Dig Assist will come factory installed with all necessary software and hardware. The only additional step is to activate the Unicontrol3D application.
Unicontrol brings seamless integration to mixed fleets
Unlike traditional closed systems, Unicontrol3D is designed for adaptability. The software seamlessly integrates with any type of excavator, any data format, and any workflow, allowing contractors to optimize mixed fleets without being locked into a single ecosystem.
"We always aim to make advanced technology approachable, and the Volvo Co-Pilot is an open platform where partners can join us in delivering innovative solutions," said Matthew McLean, product manager — Assist Systems at Volvo CE. "Unicontrol is the latest to come on board, bringing flexible 3D machine control that boosts productivity and simplicity for our customers."
"The demand for flexible and accessible 3D machine control is not slowing down," said Martin Kirkmand, CEO at Unicontrol. "And this partnership with Volvo CE shows how well we're responding to that demand with technology that prioritizes efficiency, versatility, and ease of use."
