Rick Costa Product Manager, WingScan Load Scanner
Rick Costa helps shape WingScan from the field up. As Product Manager for the WingScan Load Scanner, he brings more than 30 years of asphalt and cement plant experience to the way WingScan measures truck, belt, and rail loads.
What Rick brings to industrial measurement solutions.
Rick’s background connects field experience, product leadership, volumetric measurement, and plant-level visibility.
Industrial Field Experience
30+ years around asphalt and cement plant environments where material movement, uptime, and daily workflow matter.
Product Development
Product Manager for the WingScan Load Scanner with hands-on perspective on how plant teams use measurement data.
Volumetric Measurement
Technical focus on how volume, load shape, material flow, and scanning data connect across truck, belt, and rail workflows.
Plant Visibility
Field background in bulk material operations and plant workflows where clear measurement data helps teams act faster.
Product experience grounded in real plants.
Rick understands the environment WingScan is built for: moving material, documenting loads, reviewing data, and keeping production running.
Rick Costa serves as Product Manager for WingScan at Wingfield Scale. His work focuses on practical LiDAR-based volumetric scanning for bulk material applications.
Before joining Wingfield, Rick worked with Astec and spent decades around asphalt and cement plant operations. That experience gives him a direct understanding of the people who use systems like WingScan every day: operators, plant managers, maintenance teams, and engineers.
His product perspective is practical. Features are evaluated through field realities: how material moves, how loads are documented, how teams use measurement data, and how equipment performs in production environments.
