EZiDIG - "excavator mounted cable avoidance system" (EMCAS)
EZiDIG is the world’s first excavator mounted cable avoidance tool, it alerts the operator in real time to the presence of buried metallic services.
EZiDIG uses market standard buried service location technology to locate buried metallic services during excavation. By providing a real time warning of the presence of a buried metallic service, EZiDIG works with the operator rather than against the workflow, keeping him alert to localised threats. In this way both safety and productivity are maximised.
