Develon to Focus on New Innovation in all its Forms at Bauma

– On stand FM714/1 with 3748 m² of space, Develon will display over 20 machines

– A live demonstration show will run five times a day

– Under the slogan of ‘Achieve the Next’, Develon’s Experience Zone will present new digital technologies and state-of-the-art machinery at Bauma

– New model launches will elevate, extend and expand current ranges from Develon

DEVELON, formerly Doosan Construction Equipment, will make its first appearance at the Bauma Fair from 7 to 13 April 2025 in Munich, Germany. The Develon stand is certain to make a big impact with an industry-leading display of new state-of-the-art machine and digital technology developments being seen for the first time in the world at Bauma 2025.

The Develon stand will reflect the key aspects of this year’s Bauma and those of the global construction industry, from digitalization and sustainability; automation and alternative drive concepts to networked construction, reduced carbon footprint and the circular economy. An innovative approach will flow throughout all areas of the stand to support Develon’s quest for wider sustainability and to reduce carbon emissions, avoiding any negative impact on people and the environment, bringing together key elements such as

  • Autonomous Working
  • Advanced Technologies
  • Zero Emission/Alternative Drives
  • Product Range Elevation/Extension/Expansion

 Vision for Autonomous Machinery                                                                                                                            

Develon will display its vision for Autonomous Machinery which has been an ongoing development stream at the company for years, starting with the Concept-X technology first seen globally in 2019. This progressed to Develon’s Concept-X2, the much heralded remote control/autonomous cabless construction equipment solution first seen at Conexpo in 2023 and promoted globally by the company for the last two years. At Bauma, visitors will see ‘Real X’, the next level in Autonomous Working from the company. Real X allows the latest smart Develon crawler excavators to carry out a full suite of autonomous tasks including trenching, bulk earthwork and truck-loading.

Real X utilises Develon’s expertise in AI-powered excavation and construction equipment technology to accelerate the development of safe, productive, sustainable and predictive autonomous excavation solutions. Real X technology is also flexible and allows the same excavator to be operated in autonomous mode, remote control mode or in normal joystick operation mode.

Advanced Technologies  

 Develon continues to trailblaze – from pioneering the presentation in 2015 of All-Around View Monitoring, also known as AAVM, to Teleoperation in 2019, where the company successfully demonstrated the world’s first 5G teleoperation, with a global reach from Munich to Seoul.

Now at Bauma 2025, visitors can see Smart Around View Monitoring (SAVM), which is a new system to improve safety when operating equipment which employs object detection technology based on AI. This function provides the operator with 360-degree view of the excavator, significantly enhancing the safety of any workers near the equipment.                                                                                                                                                      

Another Advanced Technology systems being shown at Bauma 2025 is a new version of the Transparent Bucket safety system unique to Develon. Owing to blind spots caused by the buckets on wheel loaders, the area in front of the machines has been considered an area of major concern in terms of safety. With the Develon transparent bucket function, however, the driver can easily check the blind spots in front of the bucket via the cab monitor, to increase safety and prevent accidents.

 The new version of the system – Transparent Bucket 2.0 – has all of the functionality of the original system, but now offers Object Detection (OD) and Object Recognition. The OD function again uses AI technology to synthesize a red triangular exclamation mark in the centre of the object and display it on the monitor alerting the driver when an object is detected.

 Experience Zone – The Experience Zone exhibit on the stand at Bauma is packed end to end with more new Advanced Technologies from Develon. The company will provide visitors with a guided tour of the Experience Zone, providing a fully digital experience to showcase future technologies and related innovations, safety and productivity and design with dedicated Develon experts on-hand to support. As well as the interactive displays, visitors have many photo opportunities and the ability to try out the Next Generation ‘-9’ model operator’s cab in the Zone.
