How can users and machines work together even better? What synergies do WIRTGEN GROUP plants deliver in asphalt production? How can software solutions support all those involved in the construction process? RoadNews issue 09 has a particular focus on teamwork, so among other things, we visited a mixing plant operator in the Swedish town of Furuby, accompanied a paving team in Wilhelmshaven (North Germany) and took a closer look at the “Mill Assist” assistance system.

In this issue, find out how WIRTGEN GROUP innovations launched at the Bauma trade fair impact on everyday operations. For example, the W 210 Fi large milling machine from WIRTGEN: milling machine operator Valentino Pivotto tested the machine during rehabilitation of the A31 in Northern Italy. Articles on HCQ Navigator and WITOS Paving Plus also enable you to join us on the “Digital Job Site”.

Smart technologies is the watchword. For instance, WIRTGEN’s new generation of large milling machines can boost the efficiency and quality of milling work and document daily milling output including consumption data and a site plan by means of Connected Milling. As of now, KLEEMANN crushing and screening plants can be equipped with the WITOS FleetView telematics solution.

The top feature of this edition of RoadNews describes WITOS FleetView: How a medium-sized enterprise is harnessing all the advantages of the WIRTGEN GROUP telematics solution.

The top feature of this edition of RoadNews covers the important topics of the future as automation and process optimization in road construction and processing technology.

The top feature of this edition of RoadNews covers construction and pavement rehabilitation projects on international airport runways. We are proud of the fact that technologies from the entire WIRTGEN GROUP so frequently play a prominent role in airport construction and runway rehabilitation projects all over the world.

This issue of RoadNews investigates a key question: how have the innovations we unveiled at Bauma 2016 been measuring up in practice? To answer this, we followed up the first projects tackled by our latest generation of plants and machinery, spoke to users and documented the result.

The world of road construction never ceases to impress. Edition 2 of RoadNews informs readers about the construction of the new Formula 1 track in Azerbaijan's capital, Baku, and on technologies for the milling and recycling of asphalt roads. But machine technology from WIRTGEN GROUP machines are not only used for conventional road construction. The user magazine reports on special applications such as the paving of coloured asphalt in the landscaping sector, the filling of cavities between motorway safety barriers and the paving of a dragstrip designed for top speeds of over 500km/h in Norway.

This edition focuses on Bauma 2016 in Munich, Germany. And how could it be otherwise? The WIRTGEN GROUP once more presented a host of attractive novelties and pioneering technologies at the world’s biggest trade fair. This edition of RoadNews provides an overview of the latest innovations.
