The most critical phase in concrete production often begins before placement. Batching and transport set the foundation for on‑site performance. However, maintaining full visibility during this stage is challenging. Variations in slump, air content, temperature, or curing conditions can quickly impact quality, costs, and schedules. Sika connects this entire process. We bring transparency and control from plant to placement, turning operational data into reliable, actionable insights.
One Integrated Digital Ecosystem
Sika’s digital offering includes partnership solutions that combine in-transit monitoring, on-site performance verification, and intelligent mix optimization within one interconnected platform. This seamless integration provides continuous insight into every load, helping you maintain stable production conditions and verify performance at the point of placement.
The result is measurable: consistent concrete quality from plant to placement, with fewer disruptions and improved project performance.
CiDRA SmartHatch Intelligent In-Transit Air Monitoring
Sika’s Concrete Monitoring system with CiDRA SmartHatch sets a new benchmark in quality control. The system continuously measures air content, temperature, and volume during transport. It integrates directly into OEM hatches and operates seamlessly within existing workflows. Real-time visibility highlights deviations early and enables corrective action before the truck reaches the job site.
Giatec MixPilot™ The World’s First Non-Invasive, Self-Calibrating, In-Transit Slump Sensor
MixPilot™ is a robust, self-calibrating, non-invasive hardware solution that ensures precise, real-time concrete monitoring from plant to pour. MixPilot™ leverages a wireless hydraulic pressure sensor paired with a proprietary magnetic drum sensor to calculate slump with accuracy and reliability. Make every driver your best driver with accurate, real-time slump, temperature, and volume data at their fingertips.
Giatec SmartRock™ Concrete Temperature & Strength Monitoring
SmartRock™ enables precise monitoring of in-place concrete temperature and strength development under any conditions. Wireless maturity sensors transmit real-time data to your smart device, giving you real-time visibility into curing progress. This supports confident decisions on formwork removal and post-tensioning, helps accelerate construction cycles, reduces unnecessary site visits, and minimizes risk.
Giatec SmartMix™ AI-Powered Precision for Every Concrete Mix
SmartMix™ is the leading AI-powered concrete quality control software. Powered by Roxi™, SmartMix™ is the only advanced quality control system for the ready-mix industry that puts producers in full control of managing their mixes, providing intuitive insights at every stage of the concrete production lifecycle. This centralized approach empowers you to track mix performance, optimize processes, and make informed decisions from plant to pour, streamlining workflows and enhancing efficiency across the board.
Benefits of the SikaVision® Portfolio
Our SikaVision® digital concrete monitoring portfolio connects plant, transit, and job site in one consistent quality framework. Together, these solutions raise performance standards across operations.
- Continuous, real-time quality control: Monitor slump, air content, temperature, strength development, and volume from batching through placement. Automated measurements reduce manual testing and increase confidence in every load.
- Traceability and accountability: All performance metrics are securely archived, creating a transparent quality record that strengthens compliance and provides reliable documentation in case of claims.
- Optimized mix and load performance: Performance-based optimization improves consistency, reduces rejected loads, and lowers cement consumption and CO₂ impact while protecting margins.
- Integration into existing operations: Non-invasive hardware, OEM hatch integration, and open digital connectivity ensure smooth implementation across fleets, plants, and third-party systems, without disrupting established workflows.
- Faster, data-driven decisions: Live insights and advanced analytics support proactive adjustments during production and transit. Deviations become visible early, enabling corrective action before concrete reaches the job site.
- Verified curing and structural performance: Wireless maturity monitoring delivers precise temperature and strength data in place, supporting accurate timing for formwork removal and post-tensioning while minimizing unnecessary site visits.
