TinyPreMarker was used for setting out pre-markings in a £600m UK highways upgrade project. The pre-marking robot ensured increased productivity, greater accuracy of road markings, a reduced margin for human error and increased safety on the job. See how the engineers and operators used the robot and read about their experiences in this report.
Construction Europe published an in-depth article on roadbuilding. The feature focuses on the newest machinery and technology innovations from companies such as Volvo, Caterpillar, Doka and TinyMobileRobots and how they are used in roadbuilding projects in the UK, Germany and Austria.
