Table of Contents
Learning objectives:
1. Understand the role and functionality of in-transit concrete monitoring systems and how they contribute to improving quality control in ready-mix concrete.
2. Evaluate the benefits and limitations of various on-board sensors—including slump, air content, density, and workability sensors—and their influence on fresh concrete properties.
3. Compare standard field-testing procedures with real-time sensor data to assess variability, accuracy, and opportunities for improved consistency in concrete quality.
4. Recognize the potential for operational and environmental improvements, including cement use reduction, waste minimization, and enhanced decision-making through integrated sensor analytics.
