Trend Towards Digitization Confirmed
The trend towards digitization was omnipresent at bauma 2019. With the new generation of GRUNDODRILL horizontal directional drilling (HDD) rigs comprising six models in the performance classes from 60 to 280 kN, TRACTO-TECHNIK sets the standards for underground pipeline construction. The live demonstrations of the new drilling rigs, which make remote drilling in HDD possible for the first time due to a unique combination of innovative technology and maximum digitization, were one of the crowd-pullers.
In addition, the machine concept impressed with the innovation of rock drilling in all performance classes and the integrated locating solution. The intuitive operating concept of the new GRUNDODRILL generation, with almost all functions of the drill rig being controlled via a central touch screen, was also very well received. The concept, which is perfectly adapted to the operator, considerably facilitates the training of new drill masters.
With additional software solutions for fleet management and bore path planning, TRACTO-TECHNIK demonstrated how digitization not only makes trenchless pipeline construction simpler, but also more productive in the long term.
