He is set to join technology specialists from contractors, OEMs, digital solutions providers and academia, as well as one or two surprise inclusions from outside the construction arena.
Honeyman, Bobcat’s VP of global innovation, will offer insights into the inner workings of the company’s R&D strategies, describing future prospects for technologies including operator assistance systems and alternative power developments.
Addressing the many broad misconceptions around digitalisation, he will also describe how Doosan Bobcat is exploring partnerships with organisations that are also thinking differently about current and future construction technologies.
