New logistics system for Vögele pavers

First published at bauma - April 12, 2019

The latest version of the WITOS package from Vögele is now being offered as an option for its asphalt pavers. The WITOS Paving Docu system offers customers the option for automated documentation of onsite operations carried out with a paver. This is a new software-based process-management solution.

This new system comes in addition to the two options currently available from Vögele for recording and evaluating job-site data. These existing systems are the RoadScan non-contacting temperature-measurement system, which allows a site manager to monitor paving temperature and the WITOS Paving Plus telematics solution, which allows the coordination and optimisation of processes from mixing plant to paving. The latest innovation is WITOS Paving Docu and has been developed for contractors that want to record and evaluate data, in addition to the paving temperature, but that do not need the full range of WITOS Paving Plus functions and process optimisation tools. The system also comes with a specially developed app.

The new WITOS Paving Docu system allows site managers to initiate jobs directly on the job site without prior planning, recording all the paver and paving data. In addition, delivery notes can be scanned in using a QR code or entered manually. At the end of each day’s paving operations, the system can send out automated job-site reports. The app and pavers are networked via WLAN, allowing information to be transferred without a GSM connection.

“Based on their job sites, contractors can now decide whether they only want to use WITOS Paving Docu to document process data for later evaluation, or whether they want to upgrade to the full WITOS Paving Plus version so that they can plan the job site in advance and actively optimize the processes via the system,” says Dr Stephan Weller, Head of Software Products at VÖGELE. “We are hence offering our customers extremely flexible and tailor-made solutions.”
