Wirtgen won for its “AutoPilot Field Rover” entry, which “accelerates the processes in road construction, saves costs and delivers higher quality.” The system collects measurement data and creates a “virtual stringline” that is downloaded to a USB stick, which is inserted into a slipform paver’s machine control and directs where the paver goes.
The rover can be used with little training, enhances safety and reduces the chance of machine damage.
