These are the primary benefits available with Hemisphere GPS’ excavator
machine guidance solutions. Operators find our machine guidance products
easy to use so the value will be quickly appreciated. The instant visual
feedback on the grade position of the bucket reduces the need for survey
staking and manual grade-checking. The operator can remain in the cab
making the best use of the operating hours. As a result, jobs will be
completed in less time and with greater accuracy thereby eliminating
overexcavation and rework.
The savings and benefits don’t end there – fuel, labor, idle time, yardage
balancing and haul costs are optimized along with more jobs completed
between machine service intervals. Checking grade from within the cab also
keeps the operator safe on the job site and operators of all skill levels will
become more efficient. Additional work becomes available as jobs can be
bid more competitively and with greater confidence in the job execution.
Hemisphere GPS’ innovative, cost-effective GPS products are the ideal
choice for excavation machine guidance. Our patented Crescent® Vector™
GPS technology provides precise slew angle (turret rotation) in an easy-to-
install and cost-effective package. The state-of-the-art tilt sensors used in
the system are resin potted within a steel enclosure and will stand up to the
harshest environments – they’re even submersible.
Hemisphere GPS is dedicated to providing the service and support to
ensure proper installation and operation. Our technical support is available
on-line, by phone, email or on site, depending on the need.
IDEAL FOR MANY APPLICATIONS INCLUDING:
• Mass excavation and general earthworks
• Grading
• Road construction
• Digging basements
• Trenching and ditching
• Waterway maintenance
• Dredging
• Drilling and piling
OPERATORS CONFIRM:
• 1.5 hours saved per 7-hour residential basement job
• Over 500 feet of excavated trench completed to tight tolerance with GPS
and tilt sensors alone

SIMPLIFY THE EXCAVATION PROCESS
• Operator receives visual feedback in the cab of bucket and overall
machine position
• Significantly reduces the need for survey staking
INCREASE EFFICIENCY
• Jobs are completed in less time
• Reduced input costs (material, material hauling, fuel, labor, etc.)
• Eliminates over-excavation and rework
• Operators of all skill levels produce at a similar, higher level
IMPROVE SAFETY
• Grade checking is completed by the operator from inside the cab
FAST RETURN ON INVESTMENT
• Instills confidence in project status and completion accuracy
• Improved efficiency allows for more competitive bids (more bids won)
• Extends machine service intervals (more jobs are completed in the same
amount of machine hours)
• Yardage balance with the least number of machine passes
• Operator receives visual feedback in the cab of bucket and overall
machine position
• Significantly reduces the need for survey staking
