To use WPT Paving, customers need:

  • a Dash 5 generation X-Tier road paver
  • ErgoPlus 5 with Premium Touch

For WPT Paving Pro, additional components such as the StarFire™ dual-antenna system are required. These are part of the option and are installed in the roof of the paver. This ensures 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 the data in the John Deere Operations Center™ for construction machinery is possible if the digital telematics platform is available in that country.
  • WPT Paving Pro can be used in selected countries.

For more information on availability, please contact your WIRTGEN GROUP representative locally.

The John Deere Operations Center™ for construction machinery is a central platform for digital solutions for managing complete jobsites – anytime, anywhere, including monitoring, maintenance, and analysis.

The Operations Center™ acts as the interface between operators and machines on the jobsite and the office of site managers and dispatchers. This ensures better visibility, 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.
