Automated Concrete Mixer Monitoring in France with DU-BLE Wireless Tilt Sensor

Issue

A construction company encountered difficulties in accurately monitoring the precise time at which drivers began pouring concrete at construction sites. Reliance on manual reporting from drivers proved inconsistent and prone to error, leading to scheduling inefficiencies and potential quality control concerns. The company sought an automated, reliable solution requiring minimal installation effort and no dependence on driver input.

Solution

To address this challenge, the integrator required a sensor capable of tracking the exact moment concrete was unloaded. TRAKKEO SAS France fitted their concrete mixer trucks with wireless tilt angle sensors DU-BLE. These sensors detect the tilt angle of the truck’s drum, enabling the system to automatically identify the start of the pouring process without any need for driver involvement. Furthermore, the wireless nature of the sensors made installation straightforward, eliminating the complexity of extensive cabling.

Wireless tilt angle sensor DU-BLE tracks the exact moment when the concrete is unloaded.

With built-in Bluetooth functionality, all data is seamlessly transmitted via BLE in real time. The integrator’s custom-made version of the GPSWOX monitoring software displays RPM values as either negative or positive, indicating whether the concrete is being mixed or unloaded, respectively.

Results

The implementation of wireless tilt angle sensors Escort DU-BLE allowed the construction company to automate the detection of concrete pouring start times, significantly improving operational efficiency and accuracy. The straightforward installation process and wireless design offered a cost-effective and dependable solution, reducing reliance on manual reporting and enhancing overall project management.
