Wirtgen demos digital technologies in roadbuilding workflow

Wirtgen Group hosted select media at its training and technology center near Nashville to demonstrate the full road-building workflow - from milling and paving to compaction - and how connected machines, automation and real-time data are helping crews to work more efficiently.

As part of John Deere's construction equipment portfolio, Wirtgen Group's specialized machinery combines with Deere's TechStack and digital fleet management technology to improve productivity, efficiency, safety and pavement quality. Wirtgen (rehabilitation), Vögele (paving) and Hamm (compaction) machines were in action for the roadbuilding demo. Other Group brands not demoed include Kleeman for crushers and screening plants for processing, and Benninghoven, which is not part of the portfolio in the U.S., for mixing and recycling plants.
