PD Placement Documentation
Carlson PD Placement is a multi-industry machine control product. Used globally, PD Placement provides real-time machine guidance, monitors changes around
the worksite, and records critical data on day-to-day operations. Carlson PD Placement can be configured out-of-the-box to support a wide range of
vehicles for pile laydown, such as a skid steer, telehandler, and the Vermeer MT500. This manual will demonstrate the full range of features available in PD Placement (Note: some
features may require additional authorization).
Combined with Carlson Command with ProTools, the Carlson Machine Control system uses High-precision GPS to update a virtual model of a
real worksite. Using this model, KPI reports on labor cost and work completed can be generated and exported in a number of formats. The
Carlson Machine Control system also supports fleet management features allowing for operators to monitor their surroundings, and foremen
to monitor the status of their fleet.
