WHAT IS BLUELIGHT?

Bluelight Machines specialises in construction autonomy, offering solutions tailored for site contractors seeking to enhance productivity, safety, and machine utilisation.

Its positioning is straightforward: providing accessible autonomy for construction while supporting contractors as they implement autonomous solutions across real jobsites.

Bluelight’s current offering focuses on supervised autonomous operation, where the operator remains responsible for safe monitoring and intervention when necessary.

Lead / Follow Technology

Bluelight's Lead/Follow Technology is engineered to maximise fleet productivity by pairing operator-driven machines with autonomous equipment — enabling seamless collaboration and greater efficiency across your entire job site.

  • Foreman paired with an autonomous roller
  • Dozer paired with an autonomous compactor
  • Manned lead truck paired with an autonomous truck

Cat® Compatibility for Seamless Integration

Bluelight supports a broad range of Cat® machines, ensuring smooth integration with your existing fleet and a consistent improvement in overall performance over time.

  • Rollers: Cat CS54B, CS56B, CS11, CS12 Compactors
  • Trucks: Cat 730, 740, 745 Articulated Trucks
  • Cab Types: Open or Closed

AI-Powered Safety & Learning

Harness the power of AI to elevate both safety and performance on your job site. With over 10,000 autonomous miles completed, Bluelight continuously learns and improves — creating a safer working environment with every operation.

  • Safety record: Demonstrated performance across 10,000+ autonomous miles
  • Continuous learning: Every machine helps the fleet improve with each run

Designed for Flexibility & Compatibility

Bluelight is built with adaptability in mind, offering hardware and system compatibility that ensures reliable performance across a wide range of site environments and conditions.

  • Same Bluelight Kit for both Rollers and Articulated Trucks
  • GPS Integration: Works with internet-based base stations such as Trimble's IBSS — no additional hardware required
  • Starlink-compatible for remote sites

Bluelight Safety & Reliability

With more than a dozen built-in fail-safes, Bluelight is engineered for dependability and peace of mind. Rapid diagnostics and parts availability keep downtime to an absolute minimum and operational efficiency at its peak.

  • Fail-safes: Including rollover detection, camera health, RTK, and wheel-slip monitoring
  • Fast diagnostics: SITECH support available within one hour, guaranteed — with parts delivered within 1–2 days
  • Object Detection: Humans, on-road vehicles, off-road heavy plant, cones, and stakes — regardless of size or shape

Fill the Gaps & Increase Efficiency

Bluelight is designed to complement your existing fleet — filling operational gaps without displacing your workforce. It enhances productivity by freeing operators to concentrate on higher-value tasks whilst the technology handles routine operations.

  • Autonomous hauling: Connect an additional truck to Bluelight for autonomous haulage whilst operators focus elsewhere
  • Increased production focus: Keep operators in their machines whilst Bluelight manages compaction independently

AUTONOMOUS CONSTRUCTION EQUIPMENT

The Bluelight Machines Autopilot Kit enables rollers and articulated trucks to be retrofitted for mobile-controlled autonomy — delivering fast installation, improved site safety, and increased production.

SITECH NZ now offers Bluelight autonomy solutions, expanding its portfolio with technology designed to make supervised autonomy more accessible for construction contractors.

Unlike traditional machine control or survey workflows, Bluelight focuses on practical, scalable autonomy for active jobsites. Using retrofit technology, contractors can deploy autonomous capabilities across compatible machines without major equipment changes.

Built for real-world field conditions, the platform allows machine setup and fleet monitoring from a phone, tablet, or desktop — giving teams greater visibility, flexibility, and control.

WHY IS BLUELIGHT DIFFERENT?

WHY IS BLUELIGHT DIFFERENT?

Bluelight is more than a guidance or positioning tool — it’s a construction autonomy solution designed to retrofit compatible equipment and make autonomous operations practical for contractors today.

Key Differentiators

  • Supervised autonomy designed specifically for construction equipment
  • Retrofit kits that can be installed on compatible machines in under three hours
  • Compatible with rollers and articulated haul trucks from leading brands including Cat, Dynapac, Volvo, and John Deere
  • No base station required, with access available from any phone or tablet with an internet connection
  • Backed by SITECH dealer training and technical support for confident deployment

We’re ready to help your operators get more done

Bluelight Machines provides supervised autonomy for site work. Its primary offering is a retrofit kit that transforms standard construction equipment — such as rollers and articulated trucks — into autonomous machines.

BLUELIGHT AUTONOMY FAQ’s

Bluelight Machines is a construction technology company focused on accessible autonomy for construction, including supervised autonomous solutions for compatible rollers and articulated haul trucks.

No. Bluelight should be positioned separately from conventional machine control and survey workflows. SITECH’s current Trimble portfolio focuses on positioning, guidance, survey, and software, while Bluelight is positioned around construction autonomy

Bluelight says its retrofit kits are compatible with various smooth rollers, padfoot rollers, and articulated haul trucks, including selected models from Cat, Dynapac, Volvo, and John Deere.

Bluelight’s terms describe the system as supervised autonomy, meaning the operator remains responsible for safe operation, monitoring, and intervention when needed.
