Machine Control That Works Anywhere with Red Edge Resources

The Hidden Problem in Machine Control

One of the biggest frustrations in machine control today isn’t accuracy — it’s compatibility.

Many contractors invest heavily in systems, only to find:

• They only work with specific correction formats (CMR+ / CMRx)
• They rely on proprietary networks
• They fail to connect on certain sites
• They become unusable when moving between projects

👉 In short: you don’t own your system — the system owns you.

What is CMR+ and CMRx Lock-In?

CMR+ and CMRx are proprietary correction formats used by certain major brands.

While they can perform well inside their own ecosystem, they create major limitations:

• Restricted compatibility with other GNSS equipment
• Limited flexibility across different sites
• Dependence on specific hardware or networks
• Inconsistent real-world connectivity

This becomes a serious issue in:

• Remote mining operations
• Regional civil projects
• Multi-contractor sites

The Red Edge Approach: Total Freedom

At Red Edge Resources, we take a different approach:

Your system should work anywhere — not just where the network allows it.

That’s why our machine control solutions are designed around:

• Open correction formats (RTCM)
• Flexible communication methods
• Independent base station capability

Operate Anywhere, On Any Site

With a Red Edge machine control system, you are not tied to:

• A specific network
• A specific correction provider
• A specific brand ecosystem

You can operate:

• On remote mine sites with no coverage
• On civil projects with mixed equipment
• Across multiple locations without reconfiguration headaches

Free Base Station with Your System

The Key to True Independence

Every Red Edge machine control solution includes:

👉 A base station setup — at no additional cost

This means:

• You are not reliant on third-party correction services
• You can generate your own RTK corrections
• You maintain full control over your positioning

Why a Base Station Matters

Without your own base station, you are dependent on:

• Network availability
• Subscription services
• External infrastructure

With a Red Edge base station:

• You control accuracy
• You control uptime
• You control your workflow

Built for Real-World Conditions

Whether you’re running:

• Mining operations in remote regions
• Civil Construction projects across multiple sites
• Or regional infrastructure jobs

Your system needs to work every time, everywhere.

Red Edge solutions are designed to:

• Operate without network reliance
• Handle harsh Australian environments
• Deliver consistent performance across sites

No More Compatibility Guesswork

One of the biggest issues in the industry is:

👉 “Will this system connect?”

With Red Edge:

• Systems are configured for open protocols from day one
• Compatibility is tested in real-world conditions
• You get a solution that actually works on site

The Cost Advantage

Breaking free from CMR+/CMRx doesn’t just improve reliability — it reduces cost:

• No expensive network subscriptions
• No forced upgrades
• No vendor lock-in

Combined with lower hardware costs, this delivers:

👉 A significantly lower total cost of ownership

The Bottom Line

If your machine control system only works in certain conditions, it’s not a solution — it’s a limitation.

With Red Edge, you get:

• Freedom from proprietary correction formats
• A free base station with your system
• The ability to operate anywhere, anytime

Why Choose Red Edge Resources?

• Practical, site-tested solutions
• Open system architecture
• Strong experience in mining and civil
• Support that understands real-world challenges
