The world’s most accessible, affordable machine control solution is now available for contractors looking to digitalize their earthmoving operations – and it’s 2D. While the construction industry is buzzing with talk of 3D machine control, Unicontrol is proud to launch its new 2D machine control solution, Unicontrol2D, tailored specifically for small to medium-sized construction companies and featuring its premium hardware.
The innovative solution is designed to make precision excavation easy to use and open to everyone, as well as providing a future-proof first step on the journey to 3D machine control. 2D machine control is the ideal choice for companies facing tight budget constraints or those without a continuous project pipeline. Users can start reaping the benefits immediately as it can be easily retrofitted to existing equipment, removing all barriers to adoption.
With small and medium-sized construction businesses finding it particularly hard as costs rise and margins are squeezed, 2D machine control technology can provide the helping hand they need to achieve their goals. Unicontrol2D means they can work faster, more precisely and more efficiently, increasing margins, minimizing rework and preventing over-digging.
Following its recent acquisition by Spectra Precision, a leader in laser positioning systems, Unicontrol is excited to enhance the functionality and reach of its products. The new 2D system integrates seamlessly with Spectra Precision’s high-quality lasers and laser receivers, providing instant feedback and ensuring the highest efficiency and accuracy to an impressive ± 2 mm. Real-time guidance, remote diagnostics and updates, and a built-in cut/fill display ensures the correct depth and slope is achieved every time.

Start with 2D and simply upgrade to 3D as needs change
While the industry focuses on advanced 3D controls, Unicontrol and Spectra Precision recognize that small and medium-sized construction companies also need a simpler, cost-effective alternative that provides the benefits of cutting rework costs, improving quality and reducing the time spent on grade checking and stake-out.
Many of these companies find advanced technologies out of reach due to their cost and complexity. Designed with scalability in mind, Unicontrol’s 2D machine control solution fills this gap, offering a user-friendly, precise, and affordable entry point into machine-controlled construction. Unicontrol’s solution comes with straightforward upgrade paths to 3D machine control, simply by adding GNSS antennas, as business needs evolve.
Niels Bjerregaard, CEO of Unicontrol, says, “Unicontrol’s new 2D machine control solution is not just a tool for today—it’s an investment in your company’s future. We understand the challenges small and medium construction companies face in integrating advanced technologies into their operations. Unicontrol2D allows companies of all sizes to embrace the technology of the future without the initial financial strain. And combined with Spectra’s high-quality lasers and laser receivers, end users have an even larger range of projects they can work on efficiently.”
Steve Mokler, VP of Sales & Marketing of Spectra Precision, adds, “Launching this 2D solution represents Unicontrol’s and Spectra Precision’s commitment to supporting all construction companies, helping them overcome the barriers to adopting construction technology and enabling them to compete more effectively in the marketplace. With Unicontrol2D machine control, you can get the job done accurately and easily – the first time!”
