What is ilink® System?
Talk to a consultant
The Most Competitive Solution for Earthmoving.
ilink® System is a family of sensors that help the operator in earthmoving activities, providing support for the instant measurement of the excavation depth and for different types of excavations: earthworks, slopes, with a fixed section. Ability to set upper or lower limits to avoid contact with high voltage cables or utilities.
The Software at the center: ilink® System is a family of sensors combined with a dedicated App and connected to a cloud dashboard to monitor various metrics.
The sensors are installed easily and without drilling holes or welds on the excavator thanks to their powerful magnets; there are no cables because the sensors are connected to the App with BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy) technology.
Once a quick calibration procedure has been carried out, the device is able to detect the position of the bucket at any time with respect to the zero height set by the operator and to transmit this information via APP for smartphones and tablets.
It will therefore be easy and immediate, being inside the excavator cabin, to know at any time the depth reached during the excavation phase.
What are the benefits of using the ilink® System?
ilink® System shows you the digging depth in real time conveniently on your smartphone/tablet, without the involvement of an additional field operator.
This saves the cost of an additional operator and allows you to work more safely by having free reign in the excavation area.
With the dashboard you can geolocate and track at any time on the entire operational fleet simply remotely without going to the construction site.

11
Accurate data and cost savings
The ilink® System offers highly accurate measurements, helping to reduce excavation time and costs and minimizing errors during excavation.
What are the features of the ilink® System?
The system provides in real time and geolocated the excavation route carried out and its sizing. Configurable on different excavators and “easy to install” system (based on magnets). Rechargeable batteries with 80 hours of autonomy (about 10 working days). i-link® 3 (bucket) with IP67 degree of protection (resistant to dust and temporary immersion) suitable for excavations in the riverbed for nourishment and/or submerged excavations. Removable at the end of the day with two simple magnets (with a magnetic adhesion force of 35 kg each) to ensure anti-theft protection during the night in unmonitored areas. It does not require wiring or tightening screws. Applicable to different types of excavation (dirt roads, compulsory sections and slopes) and with variable terrain morphology. It can be used for precision excavations specific to sewer work with millimetre slopes.
Digging depth measurement
(not sensitive to angular changes of the bucket)
Indicates the distance of the bucket tooth/blade from the tracking plane in real time. Applicability on wheel or track loaders and mini loaders.
It allows you to identify the distance perpendicular to the ground of the bucket tip at any time.
Essential support to keep the plane horizontal during material distribution.
Digging distance measurement
Indicates in real time the distance from the tip of the bucket to the desired point 0 (zero).
Digging depth measurement PRO
(sensitive to angular changes of the bucket)
Indicates in real time the distance of the bucket tip from the track plane (the bucket can be held freely in any position).
Notification notice for exceeding limits
By equipping the system with a maximum minimum depth height that can be reached, both an acoustic and visual warning is obtained in the event of exceeding this limit. Alarm that ends only when the vehicle is repositioned within the permitted limits. Needful tool in case of work under high voltage cables or in case of unmarked underground utilities;
Instant and easy bucket change
It allows you to change the size of the bucket, without having to change the size of the vehicle, with a simple click
Real-time desktop view
Remote monitoring on a custom dashboard. Portale remoto per il salvataggio e l’archiviazione dei dati raccolti sui server. Essential for remote control of the execution of the work both in real time and in the subsequent phases.
