S afety and efficiency inspired development of the CrackPro Robotic Maintenance Vehicle ( RMV ). Minimizing labor and keeping crew members off the road , It requires just a driver and a person who stays on the back of the unit to monitor application and replenish the crack sealant . The CrackPro RMV ’ s advanced AI vision system measures and scans cracks , controls material flow , communicates with a robotic arm , and guides the wand and shoe of the heated hose to dispense crack sealant , after the automated blower system cleans cracks for sealing .
The RMV features a full truck chassis , equipped with a FANUC R2000 robot , generator , integrated blow-off system , custom Crack Pro 260 , LED safety lights , and rear safety cage to alert drivers . In addition to reducing labor and enhancing safety , the CrackPro RMV , conserves material and money . “ It makes precise decisions , runs at a consistent speed , and can cover three shifts a day with fewer people ,” says RMV representative Tyler Roth .
Todd Hendricks of Pioneer Industrial Systems came up with the concept when he saw a crack sealing crew on his way to work in late 2019 . Then , he proposed a challenge : “ How could we apply our robotics expertise to increase safety and efficiency in routine road maintenance ?” The company soon established its RMV division , and ultimately partnered with Seal- Master on the venture .
The CrackPro RMV began its tour of industry trade shows in February . It will next be featured at the American Public Works Association ’ s PWX conference Aug . 2 – 5 . SealMaster and RMV continue to host numerous demonstrations coast to coast for contractors and local , state , and federal public works agencies . It will also be featured at the Department of Defense Showcase Oct . 26 – 29 .
The CrackPro RMV earned Pioneer Industrial Systems the Fanuc America 2022 Innovative System of the Year award , and the 2021 AFWERX Flightline of the Future Challenge for Airfield Maintenance and Repair . Fanuc is a leading global supplier of robots . AFWERX is an innovation arm of the Department of the Air Force , supporting both the U . S . Air Force and U . S . Space Force .
