Machine Control Resources
Carlson Software was an early entrant in Machine Control, developing products for grading applications as early as 1996. By mid-1998, a dozen coal mines had adopted Carlson Machine Control, and the Division has grown exponentially since then. Today, Carlson Machine Control is recognized as an industry leader in solutions for landfills, coal and ore mines, quarries, pile driving for solar and other applications, dredging, excavator applications and drill navigation.
