Products and Technologies
The CANAMEK product portfolio comprises machine control and surveying equipment tailored for professional industrial use.
GNSS Machine Control Systems
These satellite-based guidance systems provide centimetre-level positioning accuracy for land levelling, excavation, drainage installation, road construction, and precision grading. The systems typically combine GNSS receivers, antennas, controllers, machine-mounted sensors, and software interfaces.
Laser Control Systems
Laser-guided blade control systems automatically adjust the height of construction or agricultural machinery based on a rotating laser reference. These systems are designed to improve consistency during land preparation and grading operations.
Surveying Equipment
CANAMEK supplies various instruments for surveying and measurement, including survey lasers, level measurement devices, GNSS surveying instruments, and positioning accessories. These tools support mapping, construction layout, and field measurement tasks.
Industry Focus
The company’s technologies support industries requiring precise terrain measurement and machine positioning.
Agriculture
Applications include precision land levelling, irrigation planning, field drainage, and farm infrastructure development.
Construction
Key applications encompass road construction, site preparation, earthmoving, foundation grading, and excavation.
Surveying
Products assist professionals in topographic surveys, construction staking, infrastructure projects, and land development.
Trademark
According to the Canadian Trade-marks Journal, the CANAMEK trademark was filed in Canada in 2016 and has been used commercially since July 15, 2013. The registration covers machine automation systems, laser control systems, GNSS machine control systems, surveying lasers, surveying instruments, and level measuring equipment.
