Apr 16, 2025

 

Exploring how automation and connectivity are transforming the equipment industry

 

McConnellsburg, PA (April 16, 2025) — JLG Industries, Inc., an Oshkosh Corporation business [NYSE:OSK] and a leading global manufacturer of mobile elevating work platforms (MEWPs) and telehandlers introduces an evolutionary approach to job site management, moving beyond traditional equipment operation to create interconnected, intelligent work environments in its latest whitepaper: The Job Site of the Future: From Equipment-Centric to Ecosystem Orchestration.

“For decades, job sites have relied on access equipment, such as mobile elevating work platforms (MEWPs) and telehandlers, to complete tasks at height,” says Nate Hoover, JLG’s Senior Director of Product Management. “In JLG’s vision for the future, these machines do more, part of an interconnected ecosystem that communicates, coordinates and optimizes operations in real-time — enhancing efficiency, reducing downtime and improving safety.”

The Job Site of the Future: From Equipment-Centric to Ecosystem Orchestration outlines a transformative shift in job site operations, offering an innovative blueprint for leveraging automation, connectivity and data to redefine productivity and safety. Key highlights include:

Ecosystem Orchestration: A New Paradigm

  • Dynamic monitoring and modification of equipment performance
  • Real-time data sharing and automated workflows
  • Seamless coordination of digital platforms, automated systems and workers

Breakthrough Concept Technologies

JLG showcases two groundbreaking concept technologies that exemplify the future of job sites:

  1. JLG® Galileo: A fully electric concept machine combining boom lift and telehandler capabilities
  2. Autonomous Mobile Charging Robot (AMCR): An innovative solution for wireless, on-demand equipment charging

These advancements, powered by JLG’s ClearSky Smart Fleet™ technology, represent a significant leap toward autonomous, sustainable and highly efficient job sites.

Key Benefits for the Construction Industry

  • Enhances operational efficiency
  • Reduces manual interventions
  • Improves workplace safety
  • Advances sustainability through electrification and smart resource management

The job site of the future is no longer a distant concept — it’s emerging today,” says Hoover. “Our vision is that smarter, more responsive work environments can minimize risks and maximize human potential.”
