Preparing the road surface is a key step when crack sealing. Removing any debris and moisture will ensure proper adhesion, extending road life and safety. A standard industry practice is to apply compressed air to the area prior to crack sealing, applying high heat, in addition,...
We have procured a used CRAFCO Sealant Melter and Applicator in order to get real world experience and better understand the crack sealing process and its intricacies. Crack sealing is the most common road maintenance practice that preserves the roadways before repaving is necessary. This greatly...
We have taken the Cone Module to the road for testing! We are excited to share our success in the advances we have made with the cone module over the last two weeks! Stay tuned as we begin implementing other cone variations! Follow us on our LinkedIn and Facebook pages throughout...
As we continue developing and testing the Cone Module with standard cones, we are excited to announce that we will be including looper cones and highway barrels to the Cone Module capabilities. We have been fortunate to consult with leading industry professionals in the development of...
We successfully concluded our first three RMV demos! Comprehending the basics of each specific road maintenance application is a key part in the research and development process. Meeting and learning from leading industry professionals has helped us gain knowledge in providing an efficient and effective product...
We have been busy designing, 3D printing, and testing a gripper prototype for our Cone Module! Our research and development team have been hard at work to make our cone module the most effective and efficient solution, helping keep road workers safe! In our projects, we utilize...
Road construction and maintenance is challenging and dangerous work. We’ve spent over twenty years designing custom robotic systems for industrial manufacturers around the world. These robotic systems greatly improve safety and increase efficiency. Now we’re taking that expertise on the road, with the Robotic Maintenance Vehicle. This...
North Carolina DOT explains the importance of crack sealing, which is a cost-effective preventative maintenance repair that extends the life of the pavement, ensuring safe road conditions, and saving money on future costly road repairs. The Robotic Maintenance Vehicle not only automates the crack sealing process,...
As our team continues to work on the development of the Maintenance Modules and testing of the RMV, we are excited to introduce The Robotic Maintenance Trailer! The RMT is another solution to get workers out of harms way and off the roads. Providing the same...
We have partnered with Vista Solutions – a leader in vision inspection equipment, to develop a system in our Robotic Maintenance Vehicle. Using 3D lateral imaging, we will have the ability to scan the road surface that will then generate a robot program path to carry...
