Cutting-edge solutions for more efficient and sustainable construction sites

Spotlight on the SaMoTer LAB demo area (outside area E): a full-scale, real automated and integrated construction site with latest generation machinery, equipment and technologies in the earthmoving and paving sectors in operation.
This event will highlight advantages in terms of productivity, performance and safety than can be obtained thanks to these innovations.

The project is the result of collaboration with “Quelli del movimento terra”.

The show will be staged several times a day for the duration of the Exhibition.

THE DIGITAL CONSTRUCTION SITE

The site is effectively a road with dips and irregularities. Audiences will be able to watch progress of work in the most realistic way possible:

 

STAGE 1 - SURVEY AND DATA ACQUISITION IN THE FIELD
Audiences will be able to watch presentations of various kinds of surveying methods available on the market: using drones, GPS, scanners, mobile mapping and robotics.

STAGE 2 - PROJECT DESIGN
Based on these surveys, a 3D project will be created to restore that flatness and regularity of the road and thereby start renovation work.

 

STAGE 3 - MACHINE-TO-MACHINE INTERACTION
The project is uploaded to the operating machinery used.

 

PART I

  • milling with Cat PM620 road cutter c/w 3D capability combined with a Trimble PCS900 UTS 3D system
  • loading material onto the truck using a conveyor belt equipped with M3 positive displacement (volumetric) weighing system by Spring Machine Control to check the amount of milled material

PART II

  • loading the stabilized material on the using Cat 326 Next Gen excavator with remote controlled Cat Command equipped with various technologies (3D GPS system, CPM integrated weighing system, E-Fence technology, Grade Assist, Lift Assist and intelligent People Detect cameras with movement blocking)
  • unloading the stabilizer on to the road
  • spreading stabilized material with Komatsu D71EXi-24 dozer equipped with GPS Intelligent Machine Control 2.0 system
  • rolling with Cat CS78B roller with semi-independent Cat Command for Compaction

PART III

  • unloading the stabilizer on to the road again
  • spreading with Bobcat T870 skid steer with mini-grader blade featuring Leica Geosystems TPS Robotic iGG3 3D skid-loader guidance system for pinpoint accuracy
  • second rolling with Ammann ARS150 roller and Topcon C-53 GNSS compaction system for compaction sensing
  • dummy asphalt spreading (with stabilizer) using Dynapac 2500CS Protac road paver with MatManager and MatTracker, complete with emulsion spray system, processing data connection and automatic screed bed widening control, powered directly by a Develon DX420CVT-7 wheel loader equipped with continuous variable transmission and “clear bucket” technology
  • rolling with Dynapac CC4000 VI tandem roller with impact meter and compaction control system

FEATURED SERVICES

Recovery of excise duty on diesel and operating machinery
by Way Srl

The Customs Agency provides significant relief for the recovery of excise duties on diesel and fuels for numerous categories of companies. The amount of excise duty on diesel fuel is currently more than EUR 0.60 per litre, and it is therefore evident how saving a portion of it is very relevant to the economy of a company that uses operating machines and work vehicles. The excise tax rebate for those who use operating machinery is equal to 70 per cent of the current excise tax rate, and is therefore currently about EUR 0.43 per litre of diesel consumed for the production of motive power.

In order to obtain an excise refund, the following are required:

  • technical services, which include the supply and installation of certified tax meters that record the parameters stipulated in Circular 5/D, working hours and engine revolutions
  • administrative services that initially include the submission of the application to the Customs Agency accompanied by the specific technical and administrative documentation, and subsequently the periodic requests for reimbursement including the parameters recorded by the tax meters

WAY offers a complete service for the reimbursement of excise duties on gas oil and fuels: from the free technical feasibility assessment, to the management of technical services, to the supply and installation of the tax meter, to the administrative management of all paperwork. The excise duty recovery service offered by WAY is also completed with the function of remote reading of tax data and GPS tracking of vehicles for control and security purposes.
