Bauer Maschinen Group at Bauma in Shanghai: The latest specialist Foundation Engineering Technology for the Asian Market
Although Bauma China only reported around 80,000 visitors this November, a drop of more than 60% compared with the event two years ago, the organizers were still satisfied. Ultimately, the exhibition also sent an important signal for the construction equipment industry as the largest event of its kind since the outbreak of the pandemic. “There were fewer guests at this Bauma than in previous years, particularly due to the lack of international visitors, which was of course due to the current situation. Nevertheless, this meant that we were able to take more time for individual customers and potential clients, and engage in highly valuable conversations,” remarks Marc Scheib, Executive Director of Bauer Equipment Shanghai.

Turner launches Pilot Program to Field Test an advanced Mobility Robot: Spot
Turner launched a pilot program to field test the capabilities of an advanced mobility robot – Spot – that can safely traverse construction sites carrying customized technological integrations. The pilot kicked off on the 550 Washington Street project in New York City.
Turner is testing Spot’s ability to conduct routine site walks and automate tasks like site laser scanning and progress monitoring. Scan data captured by Spot will enable Turner teams to efficiently track construction progress, conduct rapid QA/QC checks, and update as-built BIM models to provide clients with true digital twins of their facilities at turnover.
“Pairing the most advanced mobile robot in the world with the latest reality capture technologies brings the future of automated construction workflows to the jobsite of today,” said Jim Barrett, Vice President and Chief Innovation Officer. ”We are truly excited at the opportunity to unlock the potential of these innovations to the benefit of our project stakeholders.”
