KEY FEATURES
 
3D Machine Guidance Indicate/Control system for Pile Drivers for Solar farms and other applications
Able to handle large Pile Layout file
NTRIP and VRS compatible
Track machine utilization
Provide operators with more information to maintain consistent alignment of piles
Work as a standalone system or as part of a fleet environment with multiple machines
Create Pile Report out of Grade to a .CSV or .PDF
 
EASY-TO-USE AND EASY-TO-CALIBRATE
 
With the Carlson PDGrade system, piling contractors can benefit from high accuracy navigation, positioning and easy-to-use software that offers features such as navigation to pile, pile location, as-builts, and production reports. The system also increases safety, as it requires fewer people to be near the machines when erecting piles.
 
Benefits include:
 
Consistently and accurately drive piles within a specified tolerance
Track project progression
Reduce rehandling of piles
Document position and height of all piles
Understand your cycle times per operator for training
 
INTEGRATION WITH CARLSON COMMAND
 
Carlson’s complete monitoring and data management solution for machine control, Carlson Command, transmits data from machines to the office and from the office to machines in real-time. Command provides absolute oversight for site managers, allowing them to monitor multiple or single machines in a variety of viewing options from any remote location with an internet connection. 
 
Productivity analysis
Increased safety, productivity and reporting capability
Data management of single or multiple sites
Direct machine to machine communication and data sharing with live and historical 3D machine playback
In-cab monitoring and training from office
Create and customize tasks, delays and down codes
For sites without remote connectivity, data can be stored in the machine for post-analysis
