Ammann Connected Worksite Named an Asphalt Contractor 2025 Top 30 Editor’s Choice Award Winner

ORLANDO – Asphalt Contractor, the nationally recognized U.S. magazine serving asphalt contractors and producers, has named Ammann’s Connected Worksite a Top 30 Editor’s Choice award winner.

Asphalt Contractor’s Top 30 Editor’s Choice award represents the asphalt industry’s best products gaining interest from end-users and asphalt professionals alike. The awarded products, exhibiting innovation and utility, were chosen based on submitted nominations and audience engagement during a 12-month period on ForConstructionPros.com, and narrowed down by the editorial team and advisory board.

The Connected Worksite is a digital solution that links plant production with all other phases of roadbuilding. The technology is a suite of software applications that helps businesses plan, control and document the entire construction project, from the plant through compaction and even documentation.

The Connected Worksite, developed in collaboration with digitalization experts Q Point, keeps every member of the team fully informed at each stage of the project. It can be utilized for the entirety of a project, or during specific phases:

• Construction planning and order management

• Planning and production at the asphalt plant

• Loading and delivery of materials

• Paving and compaction

• Thorough documentation

Construction planning and order management. Customer orders are provided digitally and monitored in real time. Orders can be transmitted as binding or non-binding, which the plant can immediately accept, reject or respond to in more detail.

Planning and production at the asphalt plant. The Connected Worksite uses the digital orders to create a production schedule, which is automatically transferred to the plant’s control system. Operating and production data and batch protocols can be analyzed centrally, even if multiple control systems are utilised.

Loading and delivery of materials. As new mix is weighed, the system captures and transmits the appropriate delivery data to the truck driver and the construction team. This allows those at the jobsite to time their work to match the delivery of the mix.

The communication works both ways: The mixing plant receives real-time information about the truck locations, which helps plan further production and loading.

Paving and compaction. With the Connected Worksite, crews know the temperature of the mix at each stage: during production: as it leaves the plant, when it’s in transit, when it arrives, when it’s in the hopper, when it’s behind the screed and during compaction.

Ammann Compaction Expert (ACE), Ammann’s proprietary Intelligent Compaction system, also provides control and guidance. ACE can be supplemented by a cloud-based solution that enables the exchange of information between machines.

Thorough documentation. Continuous documentation offers valuable insights into all phases. The data helps uncover opportunities for improvement – and at an early stage while adjustments can still be made. At a later date, a detailed history can be shared with clients as needed.

“Every year hundreds of new and innovative products are brought to market by the biggest and most reliable companies in the road building industry,” said Brandon Noel, Editor, Asphalt Contractor. “This list represents a handful of the most standout tools and equipment to recently impact the jobsite, as well as some legacy products that deserve to be recognized for their long-term contributions to the industry.”

This industry leading magazine is also known for reporting on the latest trends and critical issues facing the industry and offers how-to articles designed to improve the reader’s bottom line and competitiveness.
