EziDIG - Excavator Mounted Locator Cable Avoidance System

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.

EZiDIG is available as a stand alone solution or can be integrated into existing machine control systems either via an installed Mikrofyn MikroDigger XC2 System or customised to fit with a range of machine electronic information systems installed by excavator manufacturers or re-sellers.

This innovative world first has been designed to give a continuously updated warning of the presence of buried metallic services underneath the cutting bucket of an excavator within the "Pawprint Detection Area" (shown here by the coloured circles). The EZiDIG Sensor Unit is attached to the dipper arm by two high strength magnets.

In this way the EZiDIG Pawprint moves with the dipper arm, ensuring the sensor is constantly scanning the earth's surface for signals emitted by buried metallic services around the bucket.

With the introduction of EZiDIG to the marketplace, excavator operators are now no longer solely reliant on pre-surveys by hand held locator operators to identify where buried services lie. EZiDIG scans during excavation keeping the operator alert to threats from traceable buried metallic services.

In this way EZiDIG adds an additional layer of safety to the excavation process reducing risks to employees and expensive assets exposed to potential injury and damage.
