The IVC6000 from Zhejiang Kecong Control Technology is a dedicated grade control and autonomous navigation controller designed to retrofit construction machinery — including graders, bulldozers, rollers, and sweepers — for unmanned operation. Measuring 250 × 194 × 50 mm and rated for industrial-grade EMC with an operating range of -40 °C to +70 °C, it is built to withstand the vibration, dust, and temperature extremes of earthmoving job sites.

How does multi-sensor fusion deliver ±5 cm grading accuracy?

The IVC6000 combines three positioning technologies into a single navigation solution. GNSS with RTK correction (BeiDou-compatible) provides absolute positioning on site. A laser receiver captures the grade reference plane for elevation control — essential for levelling and grading tasks. The built-in IMU tracks vehicle attitude and compensates for terrain-induced shifts that GNSS alone cannot resolve. Sensor fusion across these inputs produces a positioning accuracy of ±5 cm and angular accuracy of ±1°, sufficient for rough grading, sub-base levelling, and compaction path following on construction sites up to 400,000 m² in area.

What chassis types and machine configurations are supported?

The IVC6000 includes pre-built motion models for differential, Ackermann (automotive-style steering), articulated (wheel loaders, dump trucks), and tracked/roller chassis. This means a single controller can be deployed across a mixed fleet — grader, compactor, sweeper, and dozer — without redeveloping the control algorithms for each machine type. With 16 digital inputs, 16 digital outputs, 4 analogue inputs, 8 PWM channels multiplexed with digital outputs, 4 CAN bus channels, and 6 industrial Ethernet ports, the IVC6000 can interface with electrohydraulic valves, joystick overrides, safety interlocks, and site-wide telemetry systems in a single box.
