It doesn’t work anymore without digitalization!
Some people may say that digitalization is not new for ready mixed concrete. But don’t confuse digitalization and digitization which often used interchangeably, however they’re different.
Digitalization is the transforming of all processes and workflows to make them easier and more efficient. Especially in today’s technically driven world, it is crucial to adopt a digital culture in order to survive and succeed. And we will here discuss the digitalization of all processes in readymix.
The digitalization in readymix has become not only a reality but a necessity. If you want to be active and strong in the market, you can no longer do without consistently digitally aligning your processes.
The readymix industry has been changing with digitalization through the individual process areas at operation side supply chain of raw materials, production at batch plant, logistics with mixer trucks dispatch, concrete placement with pump and at business side offer, delivery note and invoicing procedures.
Digital processes help the employees to save time on recurring activities, receipts that go to or from business partners, thus everyone gets the most out of day-to-day business.
From the planning of the production to the timely ordering of the raw material, the connection of the laboratory, the recipe management and the loading control, to the point at which the concrete finally leaves the plant for the construction site you can work with digital processes. Each of work steps in the production of concrete as well as the recording of them can be optimized with digitalization.
Thanks to the data-technical integration of pump and mixer trucks, all vehicle cycle times and the recording of performance are also accompanied.
You always know where any mixer truck is and how much material is loaded on and when it will return. Also whether pumping process is being made or is already completed or when the work will be finished etc. Accordingly you can easily handle the provision of load capacity for the rest mixers.
Receipts and performance records are becoming digital and paper is largely eliminated. From the concrete plant to the customer, all data are delivered over the business digitally in safe and secure.
At the end, the concrete delivery notes with data such as waiting time, retarder used, extra water if added, etc. on the construction site and the timely billing of the concreting work is executed digitally. Everything is done simply with direct connection to the administration.
This E-Book, which consists of the following sections, tries to explain how to do digital transformation in readymix; digitalization, industry 4.0 in readymix, digital supply chain, smart concrete sensors, telematic and digital dispatch, digital training and digital safety, digitilization and efficiency, erp for transformation and where to start.
