Welcome to the June 2011 edition of our eNewsletter.
In this issue, we have seven new articles, six from our exclusive MCo authors and one from Don Talend who is with us again as guest author. Don's article, "No Project Too Small" is a testimonial for the return on investment machine control can bring to any size project or firm.
Paul F. Hahn brings us his third submission in his series, "The Real World Impact of Machine Control." Marco Cecala adds two instructional videos to his article "Producing AsBuilt Files," the fourth submission in his series, "GPS is Underutilized." Chad Cooper and Ron Ciccarone—both experienced data prep professionals—discuss their approach on two different applications, and Joe Sass discusses the importance of accurate localizations in "GNSS Ground Localizations - Best Practices." Finally, I have written an article titled "Machine Control Site Connectivity Using a Smartphone."
We are excited about and hard at work on the second issue of Machine Control Magazine, due at the end of June. If you are have an article you would like considered for this issue please drop me a line at editor@machinecontrolonline.com. If you are interested in advertising, please contact us.
