Concrete Batching Control System - PCS
Designed for unattended, automatic operation, our PCS Controls operate on a Microsoft XP® platform. The PCS Control has an intuitive point-and-click control that is simple to use, comprehensive and scaleable. The PCS integrates process supervision, production reporting, inventory tracking, recipe management, plant maintenance, costing functions and more, all in one reliable control system.
 Whether you're running one concrete batch plant or a combination of multiple concrete mixers and producing blocks, pavers, pipe, utility, architectural precast, ready-mix or job-site production, our PCS Control Systems are simple to use and comprehensive to meet your concrete production requirements.
The PC communicates with an industrial grade Siemens PLC controller for execution of all commands. For back-up and redundancy, the plant can be operated even if the PC or monitor is off-line. Furthermore, all PCS systems feature a graphic control panel for manual operation.
Our experienced Programmers and Service Engineers will work directly with you to design an automated control system that will get your concrete plant up and running producing the highest quality product from day one.
