Develon at Steinexpo 2026

From September 2nd-5th, in Nieder-Ofleiden, Germany, Develon collaborates with industrial equipment and component partners to integrate artificial intelligence safety systems and advanced power platforms for heavy quarry operations.  na.develon-ce.com Develon and specialized industrial partners including Bohnenkamp have integrated automated safety controls, artificial intelligence vision systems, and optimized drivetrain configurations into heavy construction machinery. The collaborative technical solution targets high-risk industrial applications in quarrying, mining, and earthmoving operations. Industrial Challenges and Collaborative Approach Operating heavy machinery in extraction environments presents severe operational hazards, including restricted operator visibility, collision risks with personnel, and high mechanical wear under extreme wheel loads. Addressing these complex engineering challenges requires integrating multi-sensor monitoring architectures, power units, and specialized tire systems directly into heavy machine platforms. Develon supplies the structural, electronic, and hydraulic machine architectures, while partner organizations provide specialized subsystems, such as Stage V engine technologies from Scania and application-specific tire solutions from Bohnenkamp. Technical Subsystems and Operational Functionality The integrated architecture combines machine-level controls with sensor-based safety networks. Smart All View Monitoring utilizes six cameras combined with artificial intelligence object detection to deliver a complete 360-degree surrounding view to the operator cabin. An electronic emergency stop system employs radar sensors covering a 330-degree field of view around the machine. When objects or personnel enter a 6-meter threshold, the system triggers visual and audible alerts while initiating automatic machine deceleration. If proximity drops below 4 meters, the automated control logic enforces a complete emergency stop. For wheel loader platforms, two top-and-bottom mounted cameras project real-time front-facing imagery onto the cabin display via curved projection, eliminating bucket blind spots while integrated load sensors prevent mechanical overloading. Deployment and Field Demonstration The technical systems and partner-equipped machines are deployed for field evaluation and public demonstration at the Steinexpo exhibition, held from 2 to 5 September 2026 in Nieder-Ofleiden, Germany. The demonstration includes static exhibition and live operational testing across active quarry zones, evaluating system performance under realistic load and site conditions. Operational Benefits and Impact The integration of automated safety logic and specialized hardware enhances process stability and collision prevention without disrupting cycle times. Standardized electronic hydraulics and Stage V emissions compliance ensure low operational impact alongside verified safety performance.
