Innovative solutions for process optimization
The HCQ Navigator
ensures compaction
of first-class quality
and homogeneity
over the entire area
and additionally documents
the complete
process.
HCQ Navigator. The HCQ Navigator is a measurement and
documentation system for compaction in earthwork and asphalt
paving. It links the measured values received from various sensors
on the rollers with the position data established via GNSS receivers.
From these, the HCQ Navigator calculates the real-time compaction
progress of all the rollers in a team and visualizes this on a compaction
map. The system owes its great cost-efficiency to the fact that
the various components can be interchanged as required between
tandem rollers, rubber-wheeled rollers and compactors.
Hamm Compaction Guide. The Hamm Compaction Guide
(prototype) is a software program for optimizing the compaction
process. The program optimizes the rolling pattern from the project’s
outset so that the required degree of compaction is
achieved everywhere by a corresponding number of machines.
During the compaction process, the operator can adjust the
roller in line with the specification via a track navigator. First
practical tests have shown that the system reduces the number
of unnecessary passes and that the resultant compaction is very
homogeneous. That means more quality with less equipment and
lower fuel consumption.
WIFM interface. The new WIFM interface for fleet management
is a handy tool for planning maintenance work. Data are transferred
via a modem which is connected to the standardized interface
connector in a matter of seconds without intervening in the machine
technology. In this way, the user is supplied with defined
machine parameters, such as operating hours, engine speed or
coolant temperature, as well as others. Maintenance work can be
organized at an early stage and critical machine conditions identified.
In combination with a GPS receiver, the system can even be
used for location monitoring, thus actively helping to prevent theft.
Fleet management:
From now on, the optional
WIFM interface can be
installed in every new
roller and retrofitted in
customers’ machines.
Hamm Site Vibration Monitor. The Hamm Site
Vibration Monitor (prototype) monitors the site’s surrounding
area for vibrations, thus preventing damage
to delicate structures due to vibratory rollers. Measurement
stations dotted around the site’s perimeter
are connected to one another and to the compactor
by radio. As soon as a measured value approaches
or exceeds a limit value, a warning is
triggered and the operator informed which sensor
has emitted the warning so that corresponding
countermeasures can be taken.
