UNPRECEDENTED VALUE IN MACHINE GUIDANCE

GradeMetrix Key Features
All GNSS satellite constellations for maximum accuracy and coverage under challenging environments, including GPS, GNSS, GLONASS, BeiDou, Galileo, and QZSS. Dynamic cut/fill to the centre or either side of the bucket lets operators know the exact location and depth of trenches without the time and cost of expensive grade-checkers and survey professionals.2D, 2.5D, 3D operation modes are all standard. Operators can create trenches, slopes, and layers to match existing or required heights and create all on-site from the cab within seconds.
Supports tilt bucket and laser receiver as standard.Simplified User Interface with multiple views, including plan view, profile view, cross-section view and more.Supports industry-standard file formats including dwg, dxf, LandXML.Quickly locate lines and points yourself, checking work depths as you go.Map projections or localised coordinate systems allow simple site coordination to existing coordinate systems or creation at new sites.Operators visualise the site in real-time, eliminating delays and enabling fast, efficient completion of all site work.
Hemisphere’s GradeMetrix Excavator solution is powered by hardware components that have undergone extensive shock, vibration, and environmental testing to withstand the harshest job site conditions.

The system is centred around the VR1000 GNSS RTK receiver. The VR1000, with its integrated UHF radio and GNSS receiver, requires a single cable connection to the IronOne display, resulting in the most simplified installation and calibration procedure on the market, and is the result of multiple decades of experience merging GNSS technology with precision applications.

An industry-leading 3-year warranty covers all the GradeMetrix system key components. You can have peace of mind and confidence that your GradeMetrix Excavator solution will provide superior results and performance for the long term.

CASE STUDY

Embankment Overcut

If a batter is overcut by 0.5m over 500m length, the overcut will total 2,500m3. Additional excavator time could be as much as 25h, and an extra 166 truckloads would be needed at 15m3 per truck. The total cost would be more than the cost of the guidance system to prevent it.

A GNSS guidance system saves you between 30-50% in material cost, staff cost, operation cost while improving your production time by the same factor.

The embedded 2.5D function in GradeMetrix allows you to use the GNSS Guidance Technology for a vast array of practical and straightforward applications without the need for complex 3D files from a land surveyor. Using only a few keystrokes, you can easily create simple layers, single or dual slopes, ramps, and even roads: using your GNSS as a reference.

Also, using the optional Hemisphere C631 base station, you can provide your own RTK corrections to your excavator. In addition to the 3D model benefits, the 2.5D functionality will significantly speed up your work cycles and dramatically reduce your ROI time.
