Hemisphere GPS and Carlson Software Establish Strategic Alliance

SCOTTSDALE, AZ, Feb. 16, 2012 /CNW/ – (TSX: HEM) Today, Hemisphere GPS and Carlson Software announced a strategic alliance. This alliance will provide a roadmap for new, integrated solutions for land survey, mapping, construction, mining and other key machine control markets. Carlson Software is a leading developer of field and office-based land development software.

This strategic alliance is part of Hemisphere GPS’s recent formation of their survey and construction group, where the two companies will combine their expertise to develop intuitive and powerful GNSS-based solutions that improve the efficiency and performance in several applications including data collection, land development design and earth moving. Recently, collaborations with Carlson include survey data collection software that supports Hemisphere GPS’ new S320™ GNSS survey receiver system (see www.S320surveyor.com).

“Hemisphere GPS’ GNSS technology, guidance terminals and other hardware technologies are the ideal complement to Carlson Software products,” says Randy Noland, Vice President of Carlson Software Machine Control. “This partnership will help us bring application centric solutions to the market much faster. The solutions will enhance the complete design-build project lifecycle.”

Carlson Takeoff R5 Speeds Up Converting PDF Files & Much More

Carlson Takeoff PDF Merge

MAYSVILLE, Kentucky, U.S.A. — Carlson Takeoff R5, which comes with the AutoCAD® engine built-in, gives users increased 3D visualization, a whole new set of commands for working with PDF files, and the ability to produce customized, more professional reports among its many additional improvements.

A comprehensive and accurate CAD-based project-estimating and modeling software solution for contractors, Carlson Takeoff 5.0 (R5) allows users to estimate and report cut/fill quantities, subgrade materials, topsoil removal/replacement, over-excavation, trenching, roads and strata calculations from a variety of possible sources.

“Contractors are increasingly getting design files as PDFs that often contain images,” explains David Carlson, V.P. of Development for Carlson Software. “The new routines in Carlson Takeoff R5 that convert images to CAD linework speed up the process of making this image data useful.

“For road work in Carlson Takeoff,” he says, “we added the ability to break out cross section quantities by staging and also the reporting of unsuitable material for end areas.”
