FEATURE
The Trimble SPS930 universal total station provides high-accuracy positioning information for the mill, which is guided by Trimble Roadworks paving control platform.
The latest developments in AI-powered inspection workflows are especially promising. These tools can automatically detect rutting, cracking and other features that need maintenance. This capability means owners can identify and repair potential road issues before they cause accidents representing proactive protection at scale.

Safer by Design
Some improvements seem obvious but deserve recognition. String lines on concrete paving projects, for instance, create genuine tripping risks. These guide wires stretch across work zones and are surprisingly difficult to see, especially in varying light conditions. With 3D machine guidance, they’ re simply not needed anymore. Then there are the less obvious considerations. Infrared camera technology on pavers is able to monitor material temperature as work progresses. Primarily used for quality control( ensuring material isn’ t too hot or too cold for proper compaction), these tools also provide valuable insights for the crew’ s welfare. Knowing when workers are on surfaces at 300 degrees or higher, and tracking their exposure duration, helps supervisors make informed decisions about rotation and rest periods.
