Abstract:
Productivity and profitability refer to the ratio of either good or money respectively between output and input needed to produce something. They are both influenced by the time it takes to produce the goods and by the quality and added value of the final product. In terms of concrete delivery, this is obviously very much affected by the concrete delivery cycle, and to a larger extend by the whole construction cycle; both will be analyzed and discussed. This presentation is mainly centered around time saving and problems prevention. Therefore, it will delve into daily hiccups of the concrete industry like mixing, QC testing, retempering, waiting, rejection, waste management, pump blockage, end of poor adjustment, etc. but also on how these are influenced using on-board sensors in the ready-mix and construction industries. It should become clear to the audience that the benefits are not only a question of individual sensor but also how they interact, from the truck scale to the network of systems, and thus in the end, it is the whole monitoring system that provide the real value.
