01 CRITICAL CHALLENGES

The critical challenges
the sector faces

Concrete quality, pour accuracy and site safety all have to be managed at once.

01 · LOSS

Incorrect Pours and Material Loss

Pours made in unauthorized or incorrect zones cause material loss and hurt customer satisfaction.

02 · QUALITY

Mix Quality Control

Inconsistencies in the rotation speed and duration of the mixer drum cause fluctuations in concrete quality.

03 · TRANSPARENCY

Operator Tracking

A lack of transparency in field operations makes processes harder to manage and costs efficiency.

04 · SAFETY

Safety Risks

Blind spots and limited visibility increase accident risk in heavy vehicle operations.

02 DRUM MONITORING

Smart drum monitoring: full control of mix quality

Our next-generation automation solution, developed specifically for the cement and concrete sector, provides process control by monitoring the rotation direction and speed of the mixer drum in real time.

Even the smallest deviation in rotation speed is detected by the system and reported to the relevant teams immediately.

01

Live Monitoring

Sensor technology tracks drum movement continuously and in real time.

02

Automatic Analysis

Rotation speed and direction are analyzed in real time to provide process control.

03

Quality Alerts

When a deviation is detected the system steps in immediately and alerts the relevant teams.

03 DISCHARGE CONTROL

Smart pour control through an innovative algorithm

An advanced algorithm detects discharge automatically, bringing high accuracy and control to pour operations. The algorithm monitors drum movement in real time and identifies where the concrete was poured on a geographic basis.

If discharge takes place outside the operating zones defined in advance, the system steps in immediately, raises an audible and visual warning and notifies the control center automatically. That prevents the material losses caused by incorrect pours.

01

Rotation Direction Analysis

The drum's rotation direction is analyzed continuously to determine the moment of discharge automatically.

02

Position-Based Pour Detection

The geographic zone in which the concrete was poured is identified from position data and logged.

03

Out-of-Zone Alarm

If a pour starts outside the defined operating zone, an audible and visual alarm is raised and the control center is notified automatically.

04 DISPATCH OPTIMIZATION

Cost, time and mixers through route optimization

Concrete has a limited workable life from the moment it is batched, so a dispatch plan has to solve more than the shortest route: it has to match plant departures to the pour rate on site. The system weighs the plant's production schedule, the site's pour rate, mixer positions and live traffic data together, and assigns each mixer a trip order and a departure time.

The three things optimization manages are linked: on the cost side, distance, fuel and concrete returned because its workable life ran out; on the time side, the time spent waiting on site and the continuity of the pour; on the equipment side, how many trips the mixer and pump turn in a day. The same production schedule is completed with fewer mixers and an unbroken pour.

The departure, arrival, pour and return times logged for every trip become the input for the next plan, so the real cycle time between plant and site is established by measurement rather than estimate.

01

Dispatch to the Pour Rate

The site's hourly pour rate is measured and plant departures are spaced to match it, so no mixer queue forms outside the site.

02

Cycle Time Measurement

The plant–site–plant cycle is measured for every trip, so the plan is built on actual times rather than estimates.

03

Constrained Route Calculation

Loaded vehicle weight, road and bridge restrictions and live traffic data are all taken into account to determine a suitable route for the mixer.

04

Multi-Site Balancing

Mixer allocation across the sites fed by the same plant is balanced according to each site's pour schedule.

05

Same-Day Resequencing

If the pour stops, the order grows or a mixer goes out of service, the remaining trips are resequenced the same day.

Current dispatch interval compared with the optimized interval An eight-hour shift is shown as two scenarios. In the upper scenario plant departures do not match the site's pour rate, so the mixer makes four trips and waits a long time in between, and the pour on site stops three times. In the lower scenario the dispatch interval is set by the pour rate, so the same mixer makes six trips, waiting shortens and the pour completes without a break. 08:00 09:00 10:00 11:00 12:00 13:00 14:00 CURRENT DISPATCH INTERVAL DASHED BLOCK · WAITING ON SITE MIXER 07 SITE POUR OPTIMIZED DISPATCH INTERVAL MIXER 07 SITE POUR TRIPS PER MIXER 4 6 WAITING ON SITE 46 MIN 14 MIN POUR INTERRUPTIONS 3 0
DIAGRAM · ONE PRODUCTION SCHEDULE, TWO DISPATCH INTERVALS In each scenario the upper lane shows one mixer's trips and the time it waits in between (the dashed blocks), while the lower lane shows the pour on site. In the current plan, plant departures do not match the pour rate, so the mixer queues and the pour stops three times waiting for a mixer. In the optimized plan the dispatch interval is set by the pour rate: waiting shortens, the same mixer turns more trips in the day and the pour completes without a break. The times, durations and counts in the diagram are illustrative examples.
01 · COST

Distance, fuel and returned concrete

Part of the cost of concrete is lost on the road: duplicate distance, a drum turning empty, and loads that come back from site because the workable life ran out.

  • Total trip distance and fuel consumption fall
  • Fewer returns caused by exceeding workable life
  • Trip cost is reported per mixer and per site
02 · TIME

Waiting time and pour continuity

When plant departures are spaced to the site's pour rate, the mixer does not queue and the pour does not stop waiting for a mixer.

  • Average waiting time on site falls
  • Fewer pour interruptions and less cold-joint risk
  • Cycle time is measured and fed back into the next plan
03 · EQUIPMENT

Mixer and pump utilization

As waiting time falls, the same mixer turns more trips in a day, and the number of vehicles needed for the same production schedule drops.

  • Trips per mixer per day increase
  • Filled drum volume is measured per trip
  • Mixer and pump numbers are planned to real demand
THE CONSTRAINTS THE OPTIMIZER TAKES INTO ACCOUNT
  • Workable life: The maximum time between leaving the plant and pouring is defined as a constraint, so any sequence exceeding it never enters the plan.
  • Site pour rate: How many cubic meters the site pours per hour is measured, and the dispatch interval is set from it.
  • Plant production schedule: The schedules of sites fed by the same plant are assessed together, so production capacity is never exceeded.
  • Vehicle weight and road restrictions: Roads, bridges and gradients a loaded mixer cannot pass are included in the route calculation.
  • Geofence: Because the defined pour zones enter the plan, a point outside them is never added to the sequence by mistake.
  • Driver hours: Trip duration, breaks and maximum driving time are all taken into account, keeping the plan compliant.
05 FLEET MANAGEMENT

Real-time fleet management:
everything under control

Integrating directly with your fleet management center through real-time data, it lets every operation be run from one platform.

Vehicle position, load status and operational data are updated continuously, so your fleet can be followed live on a digital map. Every process stays under control — from verifying mix quality to tracking pour performance, and from analysing operator behavior to transparency in the delivery process.

Incorrect or unauthorized pours are detected automatically, keeping response time to a minimum. Pour attempts outside the defined rules and geofences are picked up immediately and warnings are triggered, preventing material losses and extra costs before they occur.

01 · LOCATION

Live Position Tracking

The GPS position of every vehicle is followed live on the map, keeping your fleet's status continuously under control.

02 · QUALITY

Mix Quality Verification

Drum rotation data is logged and analyzed automatically on every delivery, giving continuity and consistency in concrete quality.

03 · ALARM

Automatic Alert System

Managers are alerted immediately to unauthorized pours or deviations, allowing a fast response.

04 · REPORTS

Performance Reporting

Detailed per-operator and per-vehicle reports support efficiency analysis and make areas for improvement easy to spot.
