Carlson Software FiX1

The Fixed Installation Scanner (FiX1) from Carlson provides a simple, automated method for obtaining volumetric data of stockpiles in many different installation scenarios. The system can be scheduled to scan, process and deliver a result without any user intervention. With remote connectivity through Cellular and Wi-Fi networks, the FiX1 can be permanently installed into inaccessible areas. It can be left to carry out volumetric scans that are triggered manually or by a user-defined schedule.
