2 The innovative process management solution to enhance quality and efficiency in road construction WITOS Paving Amid growing cost pressures and demands for better pavement quality and a longer road service life, it is becoming increasingly important to exploit untapped potential for the paving process. This is where WITOS Paving comes into play. The VÖGELE solution for process optimization and documentation lays the basis for more effective planning, greater transparency and a targeted, more rapid response to disruptions in the main processes associated with asphalt paving. All parties involved in the project are linked in a network. WITOS Paving connects the supervisors in the asphalt mixing plant, the logistics company s lorry drivers and the entire paving team on site. The system provides planning engineers and site managers with a full overview of the current construction process. Disturbances and obstructions arising in the construction process are detected more rapidly, providing the persons in charge with a wide range of possibilities for intervening. They are put in a position where they can take immediate optimization measures and remedy deviations from the planned workflow in real time. What s more, the projects can be analysed and documented with WITOS Paving after completion of the job site. The collected data are then available to optimize future projects. In this way, working with WITOS will, in the medium and long term, help to significantly boost the overall cost-efficiency of road construction projects. 2 More quality in road construction 3

7 WITOS Paving Control The planning and control module The planning and control module makes it possible to plan projects conveniently with the aid of an assistant. The assistant guides the user through the planning process. All key points are collected from selection of a mixing plant out of the master data base through paving parameters, such as pave width and pave speed etc., to determination of the required machinery including availability in terms of time and material quantity. The planning and control module is an important source of information for the site manager. With this module he can in real time monitor the project s progress and call up status information referring to material delivery. Moreover, information on the paver s operating status is available to the site manager at all times and helps him monitor and analyse the current construction job. With the WITOS Paving Control module, even the temperature of the freshly paved asphalt can be displayed and monitored in real time. All in all, the planning and control module ensures perfectly cycled on-site operations and optimizes time and materials planning according to the just-in-time principle. WITOS Paving Control In addition to easy planning, WITOS Paving Control also offers a documentation function for ongoing job site operations. The supply chain, for example, can be checked at any time. The highlights of the planning and control module Clear and detailed representation of the construction project in real time Easy machine scheduling avoids double assignment Job site planning is submitted to a plausibility check Information on the operating status of the paver Coordination and exchange of data with the mixing plant Calculation of the number of mix lorries required Indication of the project progress, can be considered for future jobs display of the freshly paved asphalt s temperature measured by the VÖGELE RoadScan system 14 More quality in road construction 15

9 WITOS Paving Transport The transport module WITOS Paving Transport Thanks to WITOS Paving, the paving team, site manager and mixing plant receive up-to-the-minute real-time information on the arrival of mix lorries at the job site, throughout the construction period. As a result, construction projects can be handled much more reliably and in better quality than has been the case so far. This precise planning also improves the paving quality, as waiting times for mix lorries are avoided, thus preventing cooling of the paving material. The transport module, furthermore, guarantees economic use of the mix lorries. An Android app for the lorry drivers provides important details relating to the job, such as scheduled arrival times, and regularly sends the lorries GPS positions to WITOS Paving. A map visualises the precise locations of both the job site and the mixing plant. As a result, the system can continuously update the estimated time of arrival (ETA) and supplies reliable information to all parties involved in the project. The highlights of the transport module Supports the economic use of mix The driver of the mix lorry sees a lorries supplying asphalt to the job site map showing the location of the mixing plant and the job site via the app Informs all parties involved in the process about the arrival times of mix lorries An app available for standard smartphones (Android) provides maximum flexibility for the logistics company 18 More quality in road construction 19
