Vögele Edge Control has the edge

March 27, 2025 Read time: 1 min
Vögele is automating numerous paver control functions, such as with AutoTrac

AutoTrac automatic steering and width control system for pavers can relieve users, increase work safety and boost efficiency. This is just one example of how Vögele is automating numerous control functions.

Other examples are the Vögele Edge Control guide wire follower, the fixed screed width, the new Edge Detection edge follower and the tried-and-tested Steering Control automatic steering system. Using various sensors and physical references, users can automatically control width and direction in this way.

With Smart Pave, Vögele is introducing the next level of automation. The integrated system controls the paving width, position and direction of the paver fully automatically using virtual references. Smart Pave uses verified installation geometries that have been stored in the digital platform, the John Deere Operations Center.

Meanwhile, the StarFire-Dual Antenna System determines the exact position of the paver, ensuring highly accurate control.
