The innovative process management solution
to enhance quality and efficiency in road construction
Amid growing cost pressures and demands
for better pavement quality and a longer road
service life, it is becoming increasingly important
to exploit untapped potential for the paving
process.
This is where WITOS Paving comes into play.
The VÖGELE solution for process optimization
and documentation lays the basis for more
effective planning, greater transparency and
a targeted, more rapid response to disruptions
in the main processes associated with asphalt
paving. All parties involved in the project are
linked in a network. WITOS Paving connects
the supervisors in the asphalt mixing plant,
the logistics company’s lorry drivers and the
entire paving team on site. The system provides
planning engineers and site managers with a
full overview of the current construction process.
www.voegele.info
WITOS Paving
Disturbances and obstructions arising in the
construction process are detected more rapidly,
providing the persons in charge with a wide
range of possibilities for intervening. They are
put in a position where they can take immediate
optimization measures and remedy deviations
from the planned workflow in real time.
What’s more, the projects can be analysed
and documented with WITOS Paving after
completion of the job site. The collected data
are then available to optimize future projects.
In this way, working with WITOS will, in the
medium and long term, help to significantly
boost the overall cost-efficiency of road
construction projects.

The highlights of WITOS Paving
WITOS Paving facilitates
project planning, above all
the scheduling of pavers.
The system makes it possible
to precisely plan the amount
of material required as well
as the cycles of material
deliveries to the job site.
4 | More quality in road construction
Witos Paving enhances
process stability, cuts operating
costs and leads to a sustained
improvement in pavement
quality.
The just-in-time principle
supports non-stop paving
and prevents the mix cooling
in the feed lorries as a result
of prolonged waiting times.
The networking of all parties
involved in the project reveals
any deviations of the operations
on site from the plan so that
immediate remedial measures
can be taken.
www.voegele.info
The inclusion of machine data,
such as pave width and pave
speed, as well as the integration
of the VÖGELE RoadScan system
for temperature measurement
of the freshly paved asphalt
make the construction process
transparent and suitable for
analysis.
Highlights
The analysis and documentation
of operations with the help of
WITOS Paving are quality assurance
tools. They efficiently support the
detection of faults and lead to
a sustained improvement in the
construction process.

WITOS Paving is a unique solution from VÖGELE, the machine manufacturer, a long-standing

Advantages
reliable partner of the road construction industry. The paver specialist’s profound applications
know-how and the worldwide service and consulting network of the WIRTGEN GROUP give
customers maximum security and reliability — and on a long-term basis, too.

Advantages of a fully integrated system solution

Full integration of the WITOS Paving system into the machine provides high functional security.

As manufacturer of the machine technology, VÖGELE ensure that all relevant machine and paving
data (such as pave width, layer thickness and pave speed) are connected through WITOS Paving.
As a result, key parameters are available for precise planning and indication of the project’s progress.

 Since the paver’s operating status (paving, relocation on the job site, transport, neutral) is always
recorded, WITOS Paving is able to carry out an extensive process analysis, thus collecting vital
information for potential improvement.

Integrating WITOS Paving into the paver operator‘s ErgoPlus console ensures that the paver
operator is directly included in the system. He receives up-to-date information on the arrival of
mix lorries and the progress on site.

 With WITOS Paving, our customers are optimally organized. They have the entire service and
consulting competence of the WIRTGEN GROUP at their disposal.

WITOS Paving Control −
The planning and control module
WITOS Paving Control supports convenient
project planning by providing an assistant
that systematically guides the user through
the planning process.
All key points are collected: the selected mixing
plant from the master database; the recorded
paving parameters, such as pave width, pave
speed, etc.; the required machinery and material
quantities, including their availability in terms of
time and material quality.
The planning and control module is an important
source of information for the site manager.

All in all, the planning and control module ensures
perfectly cycled, on-site operations and optimizes
time and materials planning according to the
just-in-time principle.
In addition to easy planning, WITOS Paving Control also offers a documentation function for ongoing
job site operations. The supply chain, for example, can be checked at any time.

for the paver operator

WITOS Paving Jobsite

WITOS Paving JobSite is an integral part
of the VÖGELE ErgoPlus operating concept
and offers the paver operator a unique tool
for control and process optimization.
External equipment and staff are no longer
required to perform vital functions. These
can easily be done by the paver operator.
This includes the recording of material deliveries.
At the same time, the job site module provides
the operator with important information, for
example, about the project’s progress in terms
of paving time, paved distance, quantity of
material placed or temperature of the freshly
paved mix.
In addition, WITOS Paving features many other
functions. The places where drill cores have been
taken, for instance, can be saved via the ErgoPlus
display screen for later documentation and analysis.

for the paver operator
As WITOS Paving is connected with the ErgoPlus

many functions via the system. He receives current
information on the job site and the progress of the
project. Thanks to clearly arranged and easily
comprehensible diagrams, he can immediately
recognize a deviation of the actual situation from
the plan.
28 | More quality in road construction
The paver operator can, for instance, monitor
the temperature of the freshly paved asphalt
on a high-resolution display screen in real time.
This offers an important control function,
contributing substantially to quality assurance
for the paving process.

Controlling the project progress
On the ErgoPlus display screen, the paver
operator can constantly monitor the
completed paving time, the paved
distance and the project’s overall progress.
Moreover, he is promptly updated to the
planned material quantity, the amount
already paved and the volume still to be
placed.

The number of mix lorries approaching
the job site and their material loads are
also displayed. The paver operator can

WITOS Paving Analysis −
The analysis and documentation module
The WITOS Paving analysis, statistics and
documentation tool permits objective
assessment of a construction project. Easily
understandable and clearly arranged diagrams
and charts enable the site manager or planning
engineer to draw important conclusions from
a completed construction project.
Where did which lorry unload material? What was
the pave speed? Where did the paver wait? How
many mix lorries were on the job site? How long
were the waiting times and can the number of mix
lorries be reduced? What costs were caused by
waiting times? WITOS Paving Analysis provides
the answers to all these questions.
