      The data can be combined with WPT data from all WIRTGEN GROUP machines involved in a construction project (e.g. milling machines, pavers and rollers). This provides a comprehensive overview of the entire production system.

To use WPT Paving, customers need:

  • An X-Tier road paver of the Dash 5 generation
  • ErgoPlus 5 and Premium Touch

Additional components such as the StarFire™ dual antenna system are required for WPT Paving Pro. These are part of the option and are installed in the roof of the paver. This means that the digital solution is always ready for use.

  • WPT Paving Basic is available on all Dash 5 X-Tier pavers, provided they are equipped with Premium Touch.
  • Transferring and using data in the John Deere Operations Center™ for construction machinery is possible if the digital telematics platform is available in the respective country.
  • WPT Paving Pro is available in selected countries.

For further information on availability, please contact your WIRTGEN GROUP contact person on site.

The John Deere Operations Center™ for construction machinery is a central platform for digital solutions for the efficient management of complete construction sites – at any time and from anywhere – including planning, monitoring, service and maintenance, and analyses.

The Operations Center™ becomes the interface between operators and machines on the construction site and the office of site managers and dispatchers. In this role, it ensures a better overview and increases efficiency and productivity.

WPT Paving in the Basic and Pro versions was developed specifically for the Dash 5 machine generation. Retrofitting a Dash 3 paver with the digital solution is therefore not possible.
