Are you a “volumetric mixer”? Technology

No. Gen-5 is a continuous, mass-flow platform. We digitally measure the mass flow of cement, water, and admixtures, compare to target, and auto-correct in real time. Volumetric systems infer flow from volume; we measure mass directly for tighter tolerances.

What makes Gen-5 more accurate than volumetric systems? Technology

• Mass-flow sensors across ingredients (not just volume estimates).
• Closed-loop control: measure → compare → adjust every second.
• Digital measurement of all ingredients + audit logs.
• Calibration workflow that locks in accuracy and is easy to verify.

How much data do you collect vs. drum batching? QC & Data

We log data every second and by 1-gallon increments. For context:

• ~7 m³ (one drum): ~14 data points (batch). Gen-5: ~1,700 one-gal batches ≈ 42,000 data points.
• 45 m³ (≈6 drums): 85 points (batch). Gen-5: ~11,000 one-gal batches ≈ 252,000 points.
• 550 m³ (≈79 drums): 1,100 points (batch). Gen-5: ~138,000 one-gal batches ≈ 3.3M points.

Bottom line: orders of magnitude more data for QC, owners, and agencies.

What does “mass-flow” actually mean? Technology

We calculate ingredient flow by mass using: M = ρ × A × v × C_v (density × area × velocity × volume concentration). Measuring mass (not just volume) tightens control of cement content and w/c ratio.

What happens if moisture or material conditions change mid-pour? Operations

Gen-5 runs closed-loop feedback: it detects deviation and auto-corrects dosing within seconds—no “chasing the mix.”

How many admixtures can the system handle? Technology

Four admixtures are standard; upgradeable to six. Low/high-flow options, individually metered and logged per second.

Cold weather: will dosing stay accurate? Operations

Yes. Our winter package protects lines and components from freezing so dosing remains in tolerance.

What QC/verification can we export? QC & Data

Digital batch records per pour with second-by-second traces for cement, water, admixtures, and yield—ready for owners, DOTs, EPCs, and internal audits.

Can we monitor or control units remotely? Operations

Yes. Concrete CloudOps™ supports secure remote viewing/control, geo-fencing, mix design governance, alerts, and fleet-level transparency.

What defines the Gen-5 platform? Technology

• Continuous production without batch stops.
• Consistent proportioning of all ingredients.
• Digital measurement + feedback control for accuracy.
• Remote data acquisition, logging, retrieval.
• Digital batch record over the entire pour.
• Mix design security, role-based access, geo-fencing.
• Error identification, instant notifications, and transparent audit trails.
