The Key to More Process Safety and Road Quality - MOBA Paving Technologies

MOBA Mobile Automation has set itself the goal of continuously improving the quality of road construction. Today, precision systems such as the MOBA-matic for automatic levelling at the paver are an integral part of modern construction sites. In addition to MOBA’s proven, market-leading systems, the technology company will be presenting its new developments at bauma 2019 in Hall A2, Stand No. 237.

The Sonic-Ski sensor revolution has established the non-contact, wear-free and particularly durable scanning method on the market. The ultrasonic sensor, which is known throughout the world and is constantly being further developed, has been proving its worth in international road construction for over 25 years. As an extension with 4 sensors to the Big Sonic-Ski it convinces with an absolutely even result over long and tricky distances.

The Innovative Power of new Technologies

The PAVE-TM and PAVE-IR systems, which have won several innovation awards, take asphalt paving to the next level. The PAVE-TM layer thickness measuring system is one of the three finalists of the bauma Innovation Award 2019. Contractors can look forward to a new sensor technology specializing in layer thickness which, combined with continuous display of layer thickness, screed width and path, makes the job site measurably more profitable.

Whether temperature recording and evaluation of the paved material or layer thickness measurement on the paver, both technologies play a decisive role in process optimization in road construction. Clients, contractors, end users and the environment all benefit equally from the efficient use of resources and particularly durable roads.

Setting New Standards in Road Construction With 3D

Presented for the first time as a world premiere at bauma 2019, the MOBA 3D Paving System is a particularly quality-oriented technology for road construction. Thanks to 3D design files, complex surfaces with rapidly changing inclinations are easy to implement. Particularly precise work on given models – even closer to the thinnest layer thickness – provides the foreman with the necessary process reliability to concentrate on other tasks for road quality assurance. The entire team thus benefits from considerable material and time savings. Visitors to bauma 2019 can see what the system looks like on the paver at the MOBA outdoor booth between hall A2 and A3.

Compaction in Teamwork - When a Roller Fleet Consists of Different Machine Types

Optimum compaction of the asphalt pavement is a key quality factor in road construction. The MCA-3000 roller assistance system proves its strengths in a universal use on all machines from all manufacturers.

The system is convincing in its seamless documentation of compaction work, which is available to all fleet operators across all machines – in real time. This means that the entire team can immediately see the progress of the work and the rolling strategy can be adapted accordingly.

The decisive advantage of this fleet management system is therefore not only seamless cooperation, but also direct data transfer to the MOBA cloud server. There, the compaction data is available for further analyses, reports and findings on the optimization potential of the paving operation, even after the paving process has been completed.

The Connected Construction Site - With Foresight Into the Future

Thanks to the highly scalable MOBA Cloud, the connectivity of the construction site will become standard in the future. With the real-time acquisition and transmission of measured values to the high-performance servers of the technology company, all data is ready for further analysis. This gives the foreman access to the information on each individual project at any time and from anywhere. In addition to significant time savings, the construction site also benefits from comprehensive knowledge of the optimization potential.

MOBA Mobile Automation continuously gets new ideas for safety-relevant further developments of its systems from constructive market feedback. Visitors to bauma 2019 can now get to know the successful applications of the technology company at its booth no. 237 in hall A2.

On Safety Specialized Technologies

The new joystick assist system offers even more safety for the operator of the control panel. By taking into account the force acting on the joystick during deflection, accidents can be prevented, such as trapping the operator between the console and an obstacle.

With the invention of the hybrid tilt sensor, not only do measured values become more stable, but the robustness of the component increases substantially. Thanks to the fusion of the measured values of three sensor elements, the hybrid always determines the correct value – under any environmental condition. This effect even doubles in safety applications.

Future-proof Updates Tailored to the User

A special user-friendliness was the focus of the keyboard module update as part of the modular HMImc concept. Thanks to perfected haptics and backlit optics, the keys can be easily operated at any time with gloves on and under all weather and time of day conditions.

The module has also been optimized for easier handling in the event of service. Configurations of the transmission rate and node ID can be set in the shortest possible time using an easy-to-use rotary switch.

MOBA MOBILE AUTOMATION

With its future-oriented concepts for aerial work platforms and mobile cranes, MOBA Mobile Automation makes a clear statement in the market. With their modular design, the MOBA safety applications are highly customizable and focused on maximum safety at the same time.

4 Sensor Solution Big Sonic-Ski smooths the way to Alcázar de San Juan

In Alcázar de San Juan, Spain, an example of our 4-sensor solution Big Sonic-Ski was found in road construction earlier this month. The driveway on the CM-420 and a section of the road to Manazaners had to be renovated. Since the track was known for its irregularities in the asphalt surface, MOBA was consulted with their expertise.

Precision Paving with BIG SONIC-SKI in Alcázar de San Juan

The solution: a paver by Pavalco, Alvac S.A., was equipped with the MOBA ultrasound technology Big Sonic-Ski. Four sensors scan the ground over a length of 13m and thus provide the basis for an absolutely even leveling during the paving process of the new asphalt layer. This even completely compensates for long bumps that cannot be detected by fewer sensors. The proven MOBA technology is particularly popular in the construction of race tracks because the built-in asphalt surface is extra smooth, durable and safe.

Building Safer, Long-Lasting Roads with MOBA Technology

Presented for the first time as a world premiere at bauma 2019, the MOBA 3D Paving System is a particularly quality-oriented technology for road construction. Thanks to 3D design files, complex surfaces with rapidly changing inclinations are easy to implement. Particularly precise work on given models – even closer to the thinnest layer thickness – provides the foreman with the necessary process reliability to concentrate on other tasks for road quality assurance.

Formula 1 and Moto GP: new speed records thanks to new asphalt surface?

Vettel, Alonso, Hamilton, Márquez, Rossi, Lorenzo, and many more will enjoy a particularly flat and smooth track this year at the Circuit de Catalunya de Montmeló. So,the one or another course record this year will not be a big surprise! For a good reason: the track has just been completely renewed with MOBA leveling technology!

Road testers are all set

Just this week, the company Firtec of the Soriqué Group, both asphalt specialist and road construction professionals, have successfully completed the renovation work of the Circuit de Catalunya! Tire manufacturer and Formula 1 supplier Pirelli is all set to send its engineers on the racetrack next week for the first asphalt tests. The roughness of the asphalt plays an important role in determining the ideal composition of the tires for Formula 1 vehicles. Shortly after, the first tests of Formula 1 preseason will follow on February 26.

MOBA technologies - Precision for Formula One

More than 45 years of experience in the development and manufacture of leveling technologies for road construction transform MOBA solutions into practical systems that are particularly focused on road quality. It is not surprising that the combination of MOBA-matic and 4-sensor solution Big Sonic-Ski are clearly the first choice in the construction and renovation of prestigious racetrac

Highest road quality - F 1 in our everyday lifes

Major brands such as Ferrari, Mercedes, Renault, Honda, Ducati or Pirelli not only participate in the races of the Formula 1 and Moto GP for image and advertising reasons. They also use their experience in these competitions to improve the quality and performance of their products.

Every construction of a racetrack also contributes to the broad experience of MOBA Mobile Automation. Over the years, their leveling systems and sensor solutions have been perfected to such an extent that today a large part of the racetracks worldwide are being built with MOBA solutions. Only then will the maximum evenness of the track be guaranteed. Thanks to its implementation in the systems, this knowledge is in turn applied to motorways, rural roads and large-scale road networks, too. This is why today everyone can enjoy a comparable driving experience as on the best Formula 1 racetracks in the world!

That seems exaggerated at first glance. But even if we do not race in everyday life, the quality of the road plays a major role in terms of economy, sustainability and driving safety. In addition to increased longevity of the road, premium quality offers significant benefits. These include less noise, lower fuel consumption, longer vehicle maintenance intervals and greater safety thanks to a better grip. In this way all parties profit equally: the environment, the polisher and the citizens.
