The Research in Concrete Sensor Technology

Pushing construction technology further to get real time data from concrete sensors, Purdue researchers have been working on a years-long project to investigate the value of integrating concrete sensors with the internet of things.

The goal of paver manufacturers is to use technology to enhance the performance of the equipment, make operators more productive and make the equipment operate more efficiently.

Equipment Operators Move to the Forefront in Asphalt and Concrete Paver Designs

Both concrete and asphalt pavers have evolved to provide greater controllability and operator comfort.
