Description

Carlson Grade 4.0 is a premiere 3D machine control software. It supports most heavy machine types, most grading, mining, drilling and landfill operations and most sensors. It supports the world's largest GNSS library.

Carlson Grade can be mounted on a pick-up truck to provide mine foremen and supervisors with real-time position and height inspection capabilities. There is no need for converting site drawings; because, this product recognizes standard .dwg files.

Carlson Grade is ideal for real-time grading applications, since heavy equipment operators can grade sites without stakes, even in blinding conditions. Instead, they glance at a screen mounted in the cab and respond to cut/fill and position information. This gives instant feedback on design performance and allows operators to achieve the proper grade with the first pass, saving both time and fuel. This also eliminates excessive movement and tramming of the machine, which results in less maintenance and cost.
