Unlimited expandability

There are limits on the number of Mix Designs, Materials, Other Products, Customers, Projects, Orders and Tickets that can be entered into the system.

The system supports multiple plant controls on a single database with each plant having:

 
  •  Up to 12 aggregate Bins with up to 12 Automatic Moisture Probes
 
  •  Up to 8 Cement Silos
 
  •  Up to 4 Water materials
 
  •  Up to 20 Admixture Controls
 
  •  Up to 4 Central Mixers
 
  •  Unlimited number of batching sequences

Batching Accuracy and Speed

  • Multiple Feed Types including fast, timed, and job cycles
  • Historical trend monitoring to determine optimum feed rate and freefall compensation based on material, device and target amount parameters
  • Self-adjusting timed feed and job time parameters
  • Programmable discharge rates based on truck and batch sequence with live manual adjustments and overrides
  • Unlimited number of batch sequences that can be tied to Mix Designs that require special plant functions
  • Maximum single batch size per plant, per truck, per scale or admixture bottle capacity, or per mix design
  • Allows manual control when they do not contend with weighing process
  • Allows on-the-fly truck number and discharge rate adjustments, allowing for corrections while batching
  • Integrated Ticket Stack on the Batch Setup form allows for the next batch to be prepared while batching and shows all active tickets at a glance

Order Entry

Can't yet justify a full-blown dispatch system? The optional COMMANDbatch Order Entry system is designed for the small, growing producer or remote site that needs to automate both the plant and the order-taking function. More than just a ticket typing system, this is a full-featured Order Entry system with advanced features such as Projects and multi-tiered pricing. Other features include:

  • Unlimited number of Customers, Projects, Orders, Products, and Products per Project/Order.
  • Programmable Customer Credit Statuses with limits and automatic notifications to warn of customers with suspect credit.
  • Programmable Price Levels and Discounts per Customer, Project, Order, and Product.
  • Programmable auto addition of charges such as Minimum Load Charge, Saturday Delivery Charge, and Seasonal Charge by Customer, Project and Order.
  • Optional interface to Microsoft MapPoint® pinpoints delivery locations and prints travel directions for your drivers.

COMMANDbatch's screens are designed so that a sole operator can efficiently enter orders and control batching from a single workstation. As your business grows, workstations can be added to accommodate additional order takers.

Increase product quality and save money

There is a simple and inexpensive way to save more money. Measuring the moisture content of your aggregates as they flow into a batch has proven to dramatically increase product quality and finish, reduce overall loading times and reduce the number of times you dry up loads; this in turn, saves you money! This is how it works...

The Command Alkon Moisture Probe uses microwave technology to measure moisture content in fine aggregates. A continuous field of microwave energy is directed outward from the sensing end of the probe.

Microwave energy is absorbed by moisture in the material in direct proportion to the moisture present in the material. The probe measures this amount of absorbed energy and converts it to a moisture value. The probe can be mounted directly through a steel bin wall, without the measurement being influenced by the steel.

The Command Alkon moisture probe has the industry's reputation for being the most durable and accurate probe on the market. When integrated with COMMANDbatch, you’ll be amazed by the return on your investment.

Remote users/batching

COMMANDbatch's remote access technology allows for Order Entry, Dispatching, Mix Management, Inventory Control, Customer Credit and Account Control, Pricing, Historical Data retrieval (batch weight lookups), System Administration, and even Batching to be performed or monitored throughout your organization.

COMMANDbatch's client/server design allows multiple users to access the system simultaneously. Using a LAN, WAN, or VPN connection, COMMANDbatch™ can be used from almost anywhere, while the built-in user based security module prevents unauthorized access. COMMANDbatch allows for any user with the appropriate security privileges to use any part of the system regardless of other users' whereabouts. The system ensures data integrity, while providing the access required in today's business environment.

The Remote Batching feature allows lower volume or end-of-the-day batching duties to be performed from a remote location. Since safety is a primary concern, the remote batching feature has a Driver Authorization HMI (Human Machine Interface) integrated into the batching process.

COMMANDbatch identifies that a remote user has initiated the batching process, which triggers the proper batch sequences required to enforce local plant authorization prior to the plant beginning the automatic batch process.

COMMANDbatch also has an integrated Soft Manual Station, allowing remote users to perform manual functions as if they were at the COMMANDbatch's manual panel. To address safety concerns, certain plant functions are disabled at the remote location.
