Trimble's new 3D Paving Control for Asphalt Pavers

Trimble has introduced the Trimble Roadworks 3D Paving Control Platform for Asphalt Pavers, the next-generation platform for 3D asphalt paving control systems. Trimble Roadworks is a highly accurate, automatic 3D screed control system that can significantly improve paving productivity and rideability by directly referencing the design rather than a surface or stringline to minimise asphalt usage, reduce waste and overruns and finish projects on time and under budget.

The Android-based application runs on the 10-inch touchscreen Trimble TD520 Display. Trimble Roadworks software has a familiar interface for Trimble users, designed for operator efficiency. Colourful graphics, natural interactions and gestures, and self-discovery features make the software intuitive and easy to learn. Each operator can personalise the interface to match their workflow; configurable views make it easier to see the right perspective for maximum productivity.

Office-to-field connectivity reduces waste and overruns with efficient communication and data transferring across the project. Using a Trimble SNM941 Connected Site Gateway, Trimble Roadworks allows the transfer of 3D designs from the office to the machine via the cloud so that the operator is always using the latest design. In addition, productivity data collected from the machine is automatically synced back to the office. Trimble Roadworks 3D Paving Control Platform for Asphalt Pavers is now available globally through the worldwide Sitech distribution channel.
