Q&A

  • Why should I integrate an external control solution into my excavators?

    Developing your own MiC 4.0 controller is expensive, time-consuming, and risky.
    It requires broad and deep expertise in several disciplines—from electronics and hardware to mechanics, software, robotics, and cloud connectivity.
    In addition, proofs of conformity and certifications must be created and regularly updated at great expense.

    With Vemcon CoPilot, you get a production-ready, tested, and immediately integrable controller that already combines all these competencies:

    • Electronics & hardware – robust, reliable, and designed for tough use.
    • Mechanical engineering & mechanics – designed for excavators and attachments.
    • Software development – including assistance systems and sensor integration and cloud connectivity.
    • Supply chain & quality assurance – series-proven, documented, and ready for scaling.

    This saves you development effort, certification costs, and time – and makes your machines competitive faster.

  • What are the advantages of MiC 4.0 integration ex works?

    The integration of MiC 4.0 ex works makes your machines immediately future-proof, compatible, and more attractive to customers.
    You benefit on several levels:

    • Future-proof & standardized: Open, cross-manufacturer communication between excavator and attachment in accordance with industry standards.
    • Competitive advantage in sales: State-of-the-art equipment; creates arguments for upgrades such as 2D/3D, scales, tool recognition.
    • Cost efficiency: Fewer variants, simpler installation and service, leaner spare parts management.
    • Lower development risk: No need for in-house MiC 4.0 R&D; faster availability for new models.
    • Flexibly expandable: Functions and sensors can be added and updated via software.

    In short: MiC 4.0 integrated ex works makes your excavators immediately compatible, upgradeable in the long term, and strong sellers.

  • Is CoPilot compatible with my existing machine platforms?

    Yes. CoPilot has a modular design and can be integrated into existing platforms or incorporated into new developments.

  • Is CoPilot manufacturer-independent?

    Yes. CoPilot works with all common excavators and attachments. This means you can position your machines in your customers’ mixed fleets.

  • Can I offer CoPilot as a retrofit solution?

    Yes. In addition to factory integration, retrofitting is also possible—an attractive additional business opportunity for existing customer fleets.

  • Which functions are integrated as standard?

    The Vemcon Copilot is the open platform for tool control and assistance systems. We are happy to integrate whatever you need.

    The following controls are integrated:

    • Quick coupler control
    • Tiltrotator control (all MiC tiltrotators as well as HKS, MTS, Kinshofer & Oilquick)
    • Automatic tool recognition
    • Tool management

    The following assistance systems are currently available:

    • 2D assistance
    • Dynamic scale
    • Working area alarm (fencing)

    Your excavators are pre-equipped for 3D systems because sensors and cables are already installed and the excavators have already been calibrated. This allows you to offer 3D at a significantly lower price.

  • What added value do my customers have?

    They reduce operating costs because every attachment fits every excavator.

    • Automatic tool recognition → faster changes, no damage due to incorrect operation
    • Every tool fits every excavator → less scheduling, more productive work
    • Simple & uniform operation → operators are quickly trained and ready to work with all excavators
  • How does CoPilot reduce my development costs?

    Since the hardware and software are tried and tested, you save years of internal development time. Building up expertise takes time. There is no risk of costly trial and error.

  • How does CoPilot accelerate my time to market?

    You receive a control system that is ready for immediate use and production. This enables you to bring new models to market much faster.

  • How does CoPilot increase my sales?

    Your machines receive premium features—at no extra cost for in-house development. This allows you to directly meet customer requirements and stand out from the competition.

  • Is the system future-proof?

    Yes. CoPilot is MiC 4.0 BUS-ready, modular, and expandable via apps. This ensures that your machines remain up to date in the long term.

  • Can I offer CoPilot under my own brand?

    Yes. White label solutions are available, allowing the control system to fit seamlessly into your brand identity.

  • How does Vemcon support me with integration?

    We accompany your project from the initial idea to series production—with engineering support, training, and documentation. Our experts have been working with OEMs for years and know what matters.
