-- Propeller will source users for DirtMate Beta Program at ConExpo next week

Today Propeller, a global leader in drone surveying and 3D mapping solutions, 
announced that they are starting the beta phase for their new product, 
DirtMate, an innovative machine tracking system that delivers survey-grade 
progress and productivity data as often as users need it.

Although every single worksite needs greater visibility into how they are 
progressing toward final design, the reality is, daily surveys are an 
impossibility for most—at least, until now.

DirtMate sensors fill in the blind spots that occur between surveys with 
real-time data. After a quick, wireless installation, they get to work 
collecting RTK GPS and IMU information that is available for immediate access. 
And, the simplicity doesn't stop there—DirtMate sensors can run on solar power, 
or can be wired into the machine.

The data stream feeds directly into the Propeller Platform, which converts the 
data into live 3D surfaces. Worksites can use this information to generate cut 
and fill heatmaps, utilization graphs, and progress-to-design measurements.

For the first time ever, site supervisors know what headway their team is 
making, where it is being made, and have a timestamp of the exact moment the 
work was complete. DirtMate is your worksite, live.

Suez's Hallam Road Landfill site in Australia is among the first to test 
DirtMate out in the wild. Just five months after installing DirtMate on 20 
machines, they have been able to:

   -- measure volumes moved on a daily basis, quickly and cost-effectively. 
   -- optimize vehicle routes and improve the efficiency of vehicles working. 
   -- reduce reliance on contractors for progress data and started collecting
      the data themselves. 
   -- and, quickly identify traffic management issues, such as pinch points or
      areas of high risk, using the snail trail feature.

John Jones, the National Landfill Technical Manager for Suez Australia, is 
calling DirtMate, "a game-changer for landfill operations," and is in the 
process of recommending this machine sensor technology to the rest of the the 
global Suez Group.

Suez Australia's recommendation marks the beginning of DirtMate's mission to 
land on every worksite across the globe, as well as an evolution from 
Propeller's past. It's a way of paving a new path toward something they call 
total worksite management, while still reaffirming their commitment to 
accuracy, support and industry focus.

In less than one week Propeller will begin their hunt for beta users at 
ConExpo, the largest construction trade show in North America, hosting over 
2,800 exhibitors.

"For us, DirtMate is a huge, proud moment, and in many ways, a culmination of 
our learnings from all our customers," says Rory San Miguel, Propeller CEO and 
co-founder. "Working to capture progress data from each machine, as the 
machine's active, is the natural evolution for us and our customers. They now 
have a single, simple place for all their worksite survey data."

Interested in learning more? Come see DirtMate in action with live product 
demos in Las Vegas at ConExpo booth #S64807 in the South Hall. An entire team 
of DirtMate experts will be waiting to answer all of your questions about this 
cutting-edging machine sensor technology.
