It is well-known. An operator applying road maintenance solutions steadily needs to perform several different actions: correct the emulsion and/or aggregates dosage, adapt the working width of the spray bar, select the road section to be patched, etc. Almost an authentic Tetris game on the road, all but obvious to handle.

At the same time, the operator must keep an eye on the road, especially in urban environments, which are jobsites becoming more regular and delicate to cope with. He must all at once be aware of other people’s driving, stay focus on his working zone, deal with the potential looming obstacles, while keeping his vehicle’s dimensions under control.

One hence understands how a good ergonomic in the cabin, both optimized and integrated (thanks to a single screen) provides both speed and accuracy to the operator’s continuous actions. In a nutshell, some improved working conditions, an alert operator focused on his jobsite, and increased security conditions for all.

The design of the new cabin ergonomics was therefore thought out following a study with operators to best meet their needs. It was critical for us to associate a strong assessment of the last technical innovations with an effective consideration of our clients’ experiences in order to come up with the most possible relevant answer.

High quality components, designed for professional use, were selected to ensure the best possible operating time of the system.

The essential functions are easier to reach, facilitating thus the handling of the equipment, the interest for the work and an optimization of the use of the machine.

To summarize, the new ergonomic cabin SECMAIR, it’s :

• A unique HD colour 12” touch screen (1280x800) uniting the basic functions of the Chipsealer (dosage), an assisted control patching system (New Pilot), rear view cameras and traceability

• An ergonomic armrest with a mini joystick for fast and precise control

• A better integration of the console into the cabin environment

An approach clearly oriented towards use and common sense.

This new ergonomic environment (armrest + screen) will be extended to our range from the beginning of the year 2023.
