Keeping an eye on safety

Xwatch Safety Solutions, part of Hexagon, has launched the next generation version of the revolutionary MK1 system that has redefined machine and operator safety.

The comprehensive XWatch safety application was designed to enhance the operation of heavy machinery, particularly excavators, on construction sites.

The MK1 integrates multiple safety features within the cabs to protect operators, equipment, and surrounding infrastructure.

Essentially, Xwatch is an intelligent height, slew, and load monitoring system that integrates with heavy machinery to prevent dangerous incidents.

It is particularly useful for excavators, cranes, and other earthmoving equipment, offering real-time monitoring and control.

Now, building on that success, the MK2 enhances installation efficiency, global compatibility, and in-cab integration, setting a new standard in intelligent safety solutions.

Trusted by leading OEMs, contractors, and plant hire firms worldwide, Xwatch continues to push the boundaries of innovation to deliver safer, smarter, and more connected construction sites.

A new era in machine safety

As the evolution of MK1, Xwatch MK2 stays true to the Xwatch ethos: keep moving forward, never stand still.

Everything that made MK1 an industry leader remains, but MK2 refines and enhances every aspect - from installation simplicity to global compatibility.

Faster installation, smarter design

The installation has been significantly improved, with the time reduced by 30 per cent, making it faster and smoother to fit.

As Xwatch expands into new global markets, installers and operators unfamiliar with the system needed an approach that was simpler, more intuitive, and easier to adopt with confidence – and MK2 delivers.

The new system is even more adaptable and user-friendly, reducing downtime for plant hire companies and contractors.
