ABSTRACT
ABSTRACT: The paper describes a system for automatically designing the next truck of concrete in a few seconds, taking into account all relevant data available up to the time of batching. Such data should include current test data on concrete and constituent materials, anticipated concrete temperature, required slump and transport time. This paper presents the view that, in order to achieve minimum variability, the contents of each truck of concrete need to be finally determined only a few minutes before that truck is batched, taking into account every piece of relevant information that can be made available at that point in time.
