This increases the degree of automation in the overall process, boosting working efficiency.

In addition, the new VARIO injection bar for binding agents allows the user to regulate the injection pressure of water and bitumen to achieve more homogeneous distribution in the mixing chamber.

The Resource Efficiency System combines an automatic steering system and digital project site documentation in a single app, improving the cost-effectiveness and resource-efficiency of soil stabilisation and recycling operations. The satellite-based guidance system allows precise and efficient completion of project tasks and steers the machine with precision measured in centimetres on the basis of a previously calculated reference cut and a predefined overlap of adjacent cuts. At the same time, location-specific parameters are recorded to generate a database for site analysis and documentation.

Parameters such as working width and depth, distance and area worked and fuel consumption are recorded. The system is scalable, which means that other machines such as rollers and compactors involved in the process can also benefit from the data.

    MOBA’s new PAVE-IR Scan system offers a new way of monitoring and documenting the temperature during asphalt paving for an entire project. As a result, contractors can optimise their work and verify the quality of the paving process. With the system’s intelligent temperature scanner, the system measures the asphalt temperature over the whole paving width of up to eight metres. The temperature profile is displayed in real-time on the display and the operator can react at any time if irregularities occur. All
