New version of Trimble's next-generation
paving control platform for smoother, more precise paving surfaces
extends the functionality to an additional machine type
WESTMINSTER, Colo., Feb. 20,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Trimble (NASDAQ: TRMB) announced
today the availability of the Trimble® Roadworks
Paving Control Platform for Mills and Cold Planers, extending the
functionality of Trimble's next-generation, 3D paving control
system. Trimble Roadworks for Mills and Cold Planers runs on an
Android™ operating system and enables operators to precisely
control cutting depth of the mill or cold planer, according to
project design.
The intuitive system allows operators to meet the most demanding
specs on the most complex projects, minimizing over-cutting and
creating a smoother surface on airport runways, highways,
racetracks and other projects that require optimum smoothness. The
3D design is displayed to the machine operator showing areas that
are on, above or below ideal grade, comparing the actual drum
position and slope with the digital design. The platform
automatically guides the milling drum to cut the ideal depth and
slope without string lines or manual adjustments.
"Complex paving projects such as airport runways and
heavily-traveled highways have some of the tightest specifications
in the construction industry," said Kevin
Garcia, general manager of Civil Specialty Solutions at
Trimble. "Trimble Roadworks for milling and cold planing takes both
the guesswork and the re-work out of milling, making it easy for
operators to mill precisely to a 3D design elevation. The benefits
of this extend throughout the entire paving process, creating less
work for pavers, decreasing asphalt usage, and increasing overall
surface smoothness."
The milling and cold planing software features the same user
interface as existing Trimble Roadworks applications, with
intuitive graphics, natural interactions and gestures, and
self-discovery features, shortening training time for operators.
The system is compatible with Trimble WorksManager software, which
manages data transfer and tracks construction technology equipment
across jobsites, and with Trimble Business Center software, which
is used to create 3D milling plans and comprehensive quality and
production reports.
