  • Hamm | Self-monitoring in earthworks via Smart Doc
    April 1, 2021
    With Smart Doc, Hamm presents an app with which compaction in earthworks can be transparently documented and the result shared with third parties. The lean app was developed in close coordination with building practitioners. The focus here was on the possibility of self-monitoring when it comes to compaction in earthworks. Smart Doc also fulfils the minimum requirements of continuous compaction control (CCC). With an intuitive user interface, the app also creates added value when training new roller operators, as all relevant compaction parameters are visualised in real time on the smartphone.

  • Bomag's compact compactor
    May 13, 2024

    Bomag is introducing a new generation, radio remote-controlled multi-purpose compactor. The BMP 8500 compactor is said to be powerful and robust and features an improved radio control system over previous models.

    The firm says that using radio control offers better performance than infrared systems, which allows multiple units to operate simultaneously onsite. Should a remote control unit go missing, a new unit can be paired without the need for special knowledge or tools.
