Astec offer groundbreaking SiteLine camera system
SiteLine sets new standard for operator environmental awareness in road construction
ASTEC Industries, a global leader in road construction equipment, have announced the launch of the revolutionary SiteLine operator environmental awareness camera system for their Roadtec cold planers.
This industry-first technology is said to provide operators with an unparalleled panoramic view of their surroundings, significantly enhancing safety and efficiency on the job site by being able to view previously unseen obstructions.
Key features of the SiteLine system include:
Panoramic view: The SiteLine system provides a custom panoramic view around mobile equipment, starting with the cold planer products, eliminating blind spots and potential hazards
Seamless stitching: Advanced image processing seamlessly stitches multiple camera feeds together, creating a natural and uninterrupted view for the operator
Enhanced safety: Comprehensive view empowers operators to identify and avoid potential hazards, promoting a safer work environment for themselves and their colleagues
Increased efficiency: Improved situational awareness allows operators to work more efficiently and confidently, leading to faster project completion times
Zoom-in feature: Ability to tap any one of the camera screens to zoom in and get a close-up look at a specific area of the machine, then be able to return to the bird’s-eye view.
‘The SiteLine camera system represents a significant leap forward in the realm of road construction safety,’ said Tom Lenger, road recycling product manager at Astec Industries.
‘This cutting-edge technology is more than just a camera system; it’s testament to our dedication to creating safe, more efficient job sites. By empowering operators with enhanced visibility and situational awareness, we’re not only protecting the workforce but also driving the success of our customers’ projects.’
After a successful debut at World of Asphalt 2024, Astec are offering the SiteLine operator environmental awareness camera system as an option on Roadtec cold planers. The company also plans to expand SiteLine across the full Roadtec road construction line-up, with upcoming AI enhancements and advanced safety features set for release in the fourth quarter of 2025.
