DipMate

The DipMate® system is a sophisticated information and registration package for dipper dredges. This automated system displays the entire dredging process in real-time and provides for higher production and greater precision when backhoe dredging in shallow waters. The DipMate® system is a DredgeMate package specially pre-configured for dipper dredgers. In its basic setting, the package is complete to fit basic dipper dredger operations; the industrial computer, with 3-D visualization engine, is linked to sensors for boom, stick, bucket, slew and tilt x / y. The range of optional data links available includes gyrocompass, DGPS and tide. This system is marketed successfully since 2000, and has proven itself on dipper dredgers worldwide. DipMate® can function in a relatively simple mode while retaining its potential to tackle more demanding dredging control and monitoring tasks. The DipMate® product is a proven system, appreciated by the operators, and due to its flexibility and functionality it is a tool for every day’s use. The system provides an accurate presentation of all excavator parts and the required profile in top and side view. The system is running on a software 3D-engine in which all coordinates of the excavator are available in X, Y and Z.

The main benefits of using the DipMate® system are:

• Dipper dredgers operate underwater, which means out of sight. DipMate® provides a very accurate visual presentation of all the excavator parts including the submerged parts.
• The DipMate® system gives the operator accurate dredging information enabling him to optimize his performance.
• A registration is made of dredging marks in position and depths. This information can be used for following progress and as 'proof' of the work executed. The DipMate® system can be tailored to fit specific dredgers and dredge equipment.
• The system is scaleable, and can grow with you to tackle your future requirements.
