Intelligent assistance systems and digital solutions: Liebherr takes the next step towards the connected construction site and mine

• Assistance systems help with the execution of work processes
• Safety and productivity as key drivers of the technologies
• Service solutions enable early detection and allow maintenance to be planned effectively
• Experience the latest developments in the Technology Pavilion and see machinery in action

At steinexpo 2026, Liebherr will be showcasing state-of-the-art assistance systems, digital applications and connected service solutions for the construction, quarrying and mining sectors. From intelligent machine control systems and innovative operating concepts, through to digital services and fleet management solutions: people always remain at the heart of it all. In the Technology Pavilion, visitors can experience these technologies in a hands-on way.

Homberg/Nieder-Ofleiden (Germany), 2 September 2026 – Whether on a construction site, in a quarry or in a mine: safety requirements and the need for greater productivity continue to rise. Liebherr meets these requirements with connected assistance systems and digital solutions that provide machine operators with targeted and helpful support, whilst optimising workflows, maintenance and fleet management. In the Technology Pavilion at the Liebherr booth at steinexpo, stand A27, experts will be demonstrating these technologies to visitors.

Greater precision and efficiency in day-to-day use

Intelligent assistance systems relieve machine operators of repetitive tasks and help ensure that work processes are carried out with precision. To achieve greater accuracy in earthworks, 2D and 3D machine control systems are used to assist operators in carrying out precise excavation and grading work. Automatic functions such as the Bucket Filling Assist (BFA) help when loading material. The system is available for Liebherr Generation 8 crawler excavators and automates penetration into the stockpile to achieve consistent fill levels, optimised loading cycles and boom functions for more efficient material handling.

The portfolio is complemented by the Liebherr weighing system – each with specific functions for articulated dump trucks and wheel loaders respectively – which enables precise loading of transport vehicles in material handling and quarry operations. Overloading and underloading are avoided, thereby making transport processes more productive. At the same time, intelligent features such as adaptive work lighting and the integrated tyre pressure monitoring system for wheel loaders enhance operator comfort and contribute to cost-effective machine operation.

Enhanced safety in day-to-day operations

Safety is a key driver of technological development at Liebherr. Active pedestrian detection with brake assist detects pedestrians and moving obstacles in the wheel loader’s working area. This enables potential hazards – particularly on confined construction sites and in mining – to be identified at an early stage, and operators to be warned by means of audible and visual signals. Liebherr is showcasing this technology both in the pavilion and in action on its Liebherr XPower wheel loaders.

The Skyview 360° camera system uses multiple cameras to provide a panoramic view around the wheel loader and significantly reduces blind spots. When combined with active person detection, the system enhances safety in quarry and construction site applications. The OAS assistance systems fitted to Liebherr crawler dozers are also designed with safety and efficiency in mind. With functions offering varying degrees of automation, they assist machine operators with demanding tasks whilst also laying the foundations for future innovative applications.

Digitalisation and connectivity: from the driver’s cab to mobile training solutions

The user interface is also being continuously developed. With the INTUSI operating concept, Liebherr simplifies interaction between people and machines. The adaptive and intuitively designed system brings together assistance functions and machine data on a central user interface and is being gradually integrated into various machines. Furthermore, innovative concepts for human-machine interaction demonstrate how the workplaces of the future may change. These include solutions featuring joystick steering and cabs without a traditional steering wheel, which enhance operating comfort and create a modern, ergonomic working environment.

The Liebherr simulator allows users to experience modern machine technology first-hand. Visitors can use the simulator to experience typical work scenarios under realistic conditions. The mobile training solution combines original controls from earthmoving machines with a realistic representation of the working environment. At the same time, the solution highlights the benefits of practical and safe driver training.

Digital services for greater efficiency in machine operation

Digital solutions such as MyLiebherr Maintenance and Performance, the MyAssistant app and IoMine make information accessible and provide greater transparency regarding machine conditions, maintenance requirements and fleet performance. MyLiebherr Maintenance centralises machine conditions, maintenance and service history. By linking up with digital solutions such as MyAssistant, problems can be identified at an early stage and maintenance can be planned more accurately. MyLiebherr Performance provides performance and consumption data to help optimise capacity utilisation and operating costs. Data View, which forms part of the IoMine Maintain portfolio, enables the direct comparison of the condition and performance of all machines in a vehicle fleet through clear and concise analyses. This is based on data from machine events and Liebherr assistance systems. These applications provide customers with valuable and comprehensive support to reduce downtime, carry out targeted maintenance and increase the availability of their machinery.

The range is complemented by LiDIAG Customer, which makes diagnostic data directly available and speeds up service processes – from troubleshooting and reading out machine parameters to software updates and hydraulic settings.

Technology for the construction site of tomorrow

With intelligent assistance systems, digital services and connected machines, Liebherr demonstrates how safety, productivity and machine availability can already be specifically improved today on construction sites, in quarries and in mines. These technologies highlight the potential of digitalisation and automation for the efficient use of modern machinery. At steinexpo 2026, visitors will be able to experience these developments first-hand in the Technology Pavilion and in the machinery demonstration area.
