Strategic partnership will enable machines
equipped with John Deere SmartGrade™ greater access to Trimble
technology ecosystem
WESTMINSTER, Colo.,
Oct. 22,
2024 /PRNewswire/
-- Trimble® (Nasdaq: TRMB) announced today a
new strategic relationship with John Deere (NYSE: DE) that will
accelerate the innovation and adoption of grade control technology
for the construction industry. The availability of the Trimble
Earthworks Grade Control technology integrated with the John Deere
SmartGrade™ platform will make it easier for John Deere customers
around the world to leverage the full benefits of machine control
for increased productivity, efficiency and better decision
making.
For more than a decade, John Deere has offered a Trimble Ready® option on select
machines to simplify installation in the aftermarket. With this
expanded relationship, select John Deere machines equipped with
SmartGrade technology will make Trimble Earthworks available direct
from the factory or as a field upgrade. This integration will allow
machines equipped with SmartGrade to fit seamlessly into the
Trimble technology ecosystem simplifying the ways to connect the
office to the field and leverage jobsite data.
"Our mission is to help our customers maximize their
productivity and profitability, especially when it comes to
incorporating valuable technology solutions into their equipment
fleets," said Jerred Pauwels, vice
president, earthmoving production systems & engineering, John
Deere. "Our partnership with Trimble presents a tremendous
opportunity for our customers to access Trimble's advanced
technology ecosystem. Paired with the power and performance of the
John Deere construction equipment line-up with SmartGrade, our
customers will be able to make productivity gains, at the jobsite
and beyond."
This collaboration not only enhances jobsite safety and
efficiency, but also demonstrates a strong commitment by both
companies to promote the adoption of machine control technology in
the construction industry. To make adoption seamless for the
customer, various purchasing options will be available in the
future for John Deere SmartGrade with Trimble Earthworks, including
factory direct or field installations, and as part of the Trimble
Construction One suite of digital solutions.
Integrating Trimble Earthworks will provide John Deere customers
greater access to Trimble's construction technology ecosystem. This
approach presents more ways for the customer to elevate their
operations by effectively connecting and managing data throughout
the design-build-operate lifecycle of construction projects.
"Trimble is committed to making it as easy as possible for civil
construction contractors on jobsites all over the world to benefit
from the use of machine control technology, regardless of what type
of heavy equipment they use," said Ron
Bisio, senior vice president, field systems at Trimble. "Our
Connect & Scale strategy enables smarter operations across
digital and physical domains. We are excited to team up with John
Deere to advance this mission and better serve their customers'
preferred workflows."
