Nominees 2022 | Category: Digitalisation
Bosch Rexroth AG
Haptic collision avoidance
With its innovative haptic collision avoidance system, Bosch Rexroth has been nominated for the bauma Innovation Award 2022. On the basis of precise surround sensing using ultrasound, the assistance function warns operators of excavators, wheeled loaders and other construction machinery about imminent collisions. It does so intuitively via vibration on the joystick. The type and intensity of the haptic feedback provide information regarding the distance to the object.

MiC 4.0 Machines in Construction
One common digital language for construction sites
Today, many types of different machines work together on construction sites. They become more digital and virtually connected every day. However, communication between construction machines and their attachments is still manufacturer-specific, but not compatible across manufacturers. Our innovative solution: the MiC 4.0 BUS, the plug-and-play-solution that connects the construction machines and their attachments – a uniform machine overarching and manufacturer-independent data interface between construction machines and attachments.

BAUER Spezialtiefbau GmbH
Process tracking system b.navigate
b.navigate – a new process tracking system that Bauer Spezialtiefbau has created together with the partners fielddata.io and abaut. This system depicts and analyzes the entire site process in all its complexity. Relying on a combination of data from image recognition, intelligent cameras, artificial intelligence and analysis of drilling rig data, the main and secondary processes are automatically identified and used for site optimization.

Max Bögl
TSB – Transport System Bögl – rethinking local transport
Low-emission, reliable, attractive, rapidly expandable local public and freight transport – what was once a mere vision of the future is now becoming reality with the Transport System Bögl (TSB). With the newly developed maglev train, the Max Bögl Group has set an important building block for the mobility transition. The TSB is low-emission, generates virtually no noise and can also be implemented in densely populated cities thanks to its flexible and modular design.

Holcim (Deutschland) GmbH
CPC - Carbon Prestressed Concrete
CPC stands for Carbon Prestressed Concrete - instead of steel as usual, the concrete of CPC panels is reinforced exclusively with prestressed carbon fibres. The high-performance thin concrete elements thus enable material savings of up to 80 percent, depending on the design, and reduce the component's CO2 footprint by up to 75 percent.

RWTH Aachen University
ROBETON, Individualized Production
Climate change and rising raw material prices require to rethink the handling of existing material resources and building structures. By digitally transforming a demolition machine into a semi-automated robot, a new sustainable process for safe, controlled deconstruction is being developed at the Chair of Individualized Production at RWTH Aachen University. In the research project ROBETON, we digitalize the deconstruction process enabling the reuse of concrete building components as a source of secondary building products for further use in construction and refurbishment.

TU Dresden – Institute of Mechatronic Engineering
Site Execution System
Connected and automated construction machinery is key to more efficient construction processes. The Site Execution System (SES) is the central building block for aggregating all machine and process data on the construction site as well as for orchestrating automated construction machinery fleets. The SES platform integrates planning data and links it to the task description for automated construction machines. Work results are documented and then mapped to task descriptions and the underlying planning data.

Freiberg University of Mining and Technology Mechanical Engineering Institute
Deep Sea Sampling
Whether copper, cobalt or rare earths, the global demand for these and other raw materials is already enormous. And it will continue to rise in the coming years. To meet the demand for raw materials in the long term, existing capacities must be expanded and new deposits developed in a sustainable manner. The issue of deep-sea mining is therefore more important than ever. It requires a consideration of the potentials and impacts across all disciplines. The Deep Sea Sampling research project is making an important contribution to this.
