this changes everything!

In-transit concrete monitoring
with Artificial Intelligence

Full control and real-time evidence. No surprises.

What is Concrete Watcher™?

The concept is very simple: a technology that lets me know in real time what is happening with my concrete, as if I were watching it myself.

CONCRETE WATCHER™ is a patented system for concrete mixer trucks that combines an HD camera that sees inside the drum, hydraulic pressure and temperature sensors, GPS and artificial intelligence to control the concrete for the whole trip: from before loading until the return to the plant.

The videos are analysed in real time, on the truck itself, with artificial intelligence (AI): slump class in transit, slump measured at discharge, water added from any source (in litres, with the water/cement ratio recalculated), drum rotation, loading and discharge. Every trip is recorded as evidence.

Talk to a Concrete Watcher™ expert

CONCRETE WATCHER™ allows concrete producers to obtain complete control over everything that occurs during transport, being able to identify, analyze, and guarantee quality of the concrete from loading on plant to complete pour on site.

Main features

What does CONCRETE WATCHER™ do, and how does it work?

Continuous recording

The system records everything that happens inside the drum. The camera cleans itself and automatically warns if it gets blocked.

Artificial intelligence

Concrete Watcher™ performs real-time analysis using Artificial Intelligence, even without data connection.

Real-time alerts

Sends immediate alerts for any important event, to all involved personnel (driver, managers, etc.)

Guaranteed reliability

All recordings are stored in the system, perfectly identified by truck, with exact timestamp.

Automatic transmission

Concrete Watcher™ uses WiFi or 4G connection to automatically upload analytics and videos.

Complete management app

Use a management application to manage the status of the entire fleet in real time, and review all recordings and analytics.

Simple installation

INSTALLATION

Everything in one compact kit, fitted on the mixer truck itself.

The self-cleaning HD camera is fitted under the loading hopper and views the inside of the drum. The electronics box, with built-in GPS, is fitted on the drum support frame and runs on 12/24 V from the truck’s battery. Hydraulic pressure and temperature sensors and the (optional) water flow meter complete the readings, which reach the platform and the driver’s phone or tablet in real time.

Visualization

Complete visualization of the condition of the concrete inside the truck

  • State of the truck: empty, with water, or loaded with concrete
  • Measure the speed and direction of rotation
  • Detects water additions, no matter the source
  • Controls loading and pouring
  • Informs you of spillage during transport
  • Slump class in transit and slump measured by video at discharge

Everything under control

A management application that controls the state of your fleet in real time.

Allows you to view the details of each truck, see history, statistics, and analytics. With CONCRETE WATCHER™ you will have total control and perfect traceability at all times.

Why Concrete Watcher

What sets it apart from other in-transit concrete control systems:

  • It sees the concrete, it does not just estimate it. A camera inside the drum records the whole trip. The slump is measured by video at discharge, on top of the slump class given by hydraulic pressure in transit.
  • Water from any source. It detects by video the water added, including water from a hose on site, not only what comes out of the truck’s tank, measures it in litres and recalculates the water/cement ratio.
  • Video evidence of every trip. Every alert and every measurement is recorded: objective traceability for any claim.
  • No contact with the concrete. No part enters the drum or wears with the mix, and the camera cleans itself.
  • Patented technology. Granted patents in Spain and the United States.
