Precast process improvement with Concremote
Precast company Prefa Praha has been leveraging Concremote to enhance their concrete production process. This innovative technology allows for real-time monitoring of concrete strength development, significantly improving both the speed and safety of operations which leads to significant improvements in production efficiency, cost savings, and overall quality. The use of Concremote also improves safety by preventing premature handling of concrete elements, thus avoiding accidents. Additionally, the digital solution supports environmental sustainability by facilitating the use of eco-friendly concretes and reducing the carbon footprint. Overall, the precise data from Concremote enables Prefa Praha to achieve higher turnover rates and maintain consistent quality in their concrete products.
Challenges
- Previously no accurate measurement available
- Workers had to rely on tabulated values, estimation and experience
- Effort and paperwork for required documentation
Concremote solution
- Calibration of the concrete mixes
- Concremote slab sensors for monitoring compressive strength development close to the lifting anchors
- Automated Concremote report for documentation
Time savings
Reduced effort for documentation due to automated Concremote report
More Safety
Safe pre-stressing and lifting of precast elements
Enhanced concrete quality
Concremote allows to use the most suitable concrete recipes (incl. accelerator/excl. accelerator) based on the planned production schedule
Cost reduction
Increased efficiency in production provided by real-time monitoring
"We have a higher turnover rate thanks to the precise strength data from Concremote. There are types of elements that we now produce twice a day, because we know when we can proceed based on actual measurements."
