Giatec, a pioneer in concrete technology platforms, has introduced MixPilot, the world’s first non-invasive, self-calibrating, in-transit slump sensor. This groundbreaking system is poised to revolutionize the management of concrete quality, providing real-time data on slump, temperature, and volume from the plant to the pour.
Concrete trucks serve as mobile factories, maintaining precise workability and ensuring quality in every load. With MixPilot, everyone involved, from drivers to Quality Control personnel, can effectively manage concrete quality throughout the production cycle.
“The concrete industry is on the brink of a technological revolution with Giatec’s MixPilot, which combines advanced sensors and machine learning to revolutionize Quality Control and Product Development with unparalleled consistency and optimization,” said Tony Thier, president at BARD Materials. “Gone are the days of guesswork in concrete Quality Control, as real-time data and AI deliver precise, game-changing results—an innovation that BARD Materials is proud to support in collaboration with Giatec.”
MixPilot’s innovative design allows for easy installation in just 15 minutes, without the need for invasive modifications to trucks. Whether used independently or in conjunction with Giatec’s SmartMix, MixPilot offers unmatched insights and efficiency throughout the concrete production process. Its user-friendly interface and robust construction ensure consistent quality from batch to pour.
“As we delved deeper into mix optimization, the absence of reliable and accurate systems for measuring in-transit properties posed a major obstacle to achieving truly high-quality mixes,” explained Dr. Aali Alizadeh, Co-Founder and CTO of Giatec. “This revolutionary innovation empowers our customers to maintain consistent quality from plant to pour, reduce waste, and enhance operational efficiency like never before. It’s not just a product; it’s a transformative leap forward for the concrete industry.”
Industry leaders such as BARD Materials, Tomlinson Ready Mix, and Maschmeyer Concrete have already adopted MixPilot. Their feedback highlights its precision and ease of use, with slump measurements consistently aligning within 0.5 inches of manual tests.
