Carlson Software

Machine Control

With expertise in surface modeling, RTK-GPS and ruggedized equipment, Carlson Software first pioneered machine control in 1996. Today, we serve the mining, landfill, dredging, earthmoving and 3D drilling markets with state-of-the-art 3D machine guidance, positioning, monitoring, reporting and production analysis solutions.

Carlson Command is a monitoring and data management software solution that transmits data from the machines to Command and from Command to the machines, increasing both safety, productivity, and reporting capabilities.

Carlson Grade for excavators and shovels drill operators to navigate holes more precisely, increasing overall productivity. Carlson Grade reduces unnecessary survey costs and expenses associated with time in the field. It’s always the right time to improve your drilling workflow and operational efficiency.

Carlson Grade for Drills allows drill operators to navigate and drill holes more precisely, increasing overall productivity. Carlson Grade reduces unnecessary survey costs and expenses associated with time in the field. It’s always the right time to improve your drilling workflow and operational efficiency.

Carlson Grade for Dozers increases dozing productivity for production dozing. Sites have the option to build simple or complex pads and slops in the field and can update surfaces in real-time with color mapping across the entire project.

Carlson Machine Control PDGrade is an application-centric 3D positioning software for piling applications such as solar, construction and other applications. The software is combined with a state-of-the-art, integrated GNSS all-in-one sensor, a rugged, Windows-based control box, and offers a laser distance option for piling to an elevation, contour or pile depth for a complete pile machine guidance system.

Carlson LandfillGrade introduces accuracy and complete efficiency to landfill operations. With GPS-powered machine guidance, landfill operators can optimize airspace usage and greatly reduce the risk of landfill leachate.
