Welcome to the March 2011 edition of our eNewsletter. In this issue, we have 5 new articles from our exclusive MCo authors. Paul Hahn interviews a seasoned user of machine control technology, and Marco Cecala discusses education and if there is a need for both takeoff and data prep classes. Chad Cooper discusses tips, tricks and techniques in building a simple site.
Ron Ciccarone delivers part two of building a digital parkng lot, and Joe Sass writes about the need for standards and how furthering cooperation will benefit us all. And finally, Rebecca Muhlenkort is back as a guest author with a success story using 3D machine control to accelerate and deliver an on-site survey for a flood control project in Germany.
We continue ramping up for ConExpo next month in Las Vegas and are eager to launch our new Machine Control Magazine at the show. More on that in the next newsletter, but if you are interested in advertising please contact us. Please contact me if you would like to meet at ConExpo and discuss any projects or interesting applications for our newsletter and future editions of the magazine.
We continue to hear from our readers about new projects and bidding opportunities. If you are considering positioning and 3D machine control technology, welcome. MachineControlOnline.com is committed to serve as your knowledge base.
As always, I hope you enjoy this newsletter! Please stay tuned, visiting us often as we update the website daily. Please drop me a line if there is any subject about which you would like to see more information. I personally read every email!
