From the first moment, updated every 2-60 seconds, you get three kinds of information about your production.

Core data

• Average core temperature.
• Actual core temperature.
• Maturity corresponding to proper temperature and humidity characteristics.
• Compressive strength corresponding to proper temperature and humidity characteristics.
• Production time.
• Remaining production time.

Background data

• Weather data.
• Environment temperature.
• Environment analytics, like CO2 savings.
• Energy saving analytics. (In case of hot bed or other heating apparatus.)
• Utilization analytics.
• Statistics.

QC/QA reports

• Characteristics and final strength report.

• One foundation we apply general and specific standards from organizations like ISO and ASTM. Added on top we apply EU Emissions Trading System, ERES, TCFD, GRESB, LEED, BREEAM, ASTM .

• Combining maturity method with compensated relative humidity values.

• Aeklouds, YTs, and Hexagons IIaaS Machine Learning Modules.
  

• Our own patents.

In 1987 ASTM adopted the practice of using the maturity method and published the standard we know as ASTM C 1074.

Applying this method requires a few initial steps to take:

• Defining specific characteristics for each unique concrete mixes.
• Establishing the relationship between maturity and strength.
• Estimation of local maturity and local strength.

Base temperatures are temperature parameters to be used when designing a mix.
Activation energy is initial energy which will kick in the curing process, it is normally inherent in the mix, the cast and the whole environment.
Mix designs (in our terminology compounds) used in production are required to be prepared in 3-4 temperature sets and tempered accordingly. Concrete.fit uses a 4+ method.
Base temperature 1 should be in the bottom end of the range, base 2 should be on the other end, while the third should be somewhere in the mid-point. Using more essentially means that we distribute evenly.
It is required to measure product strength at the very same time, and regularly.
For this reason, it is evident that using a digital instrumentation method, like concrete.fit, is the best practice.
We use strength-aging coefficients to define tempering. This is import when the production is a controlled environment with hot beds.
It is a proper method to use penetration resistance methods as well.

• Use two to four sets of 9 cylinders or cubes.

Note, that in this example we use 2 sets of cubes.

• Prepare 2×9 cubes.
• Prepare compound mix as per design using the very same principles, materials, ratios and mixing method.
• Put 1 sensor into 1 cube in the sets. (2 sensors)
• Start the application. (The system will start showing graphs and predictions when after pouring as temperature and humidity will change as concrete meets with the sensor.)
• Pour in the concrete.
• Temper cubes as our standard or yours defines it.
• It is required to check strength with a different method in every 1-4 hours depending on mix design. We finish testing normally at the 28th hour or earlier but in cases we test for 28 days.
• We record average maturity indexes and belonging average strength.
• It is then possible to have an adjusted characteristic.

• Prepare cast or formwork.
• Fit in sensors and start the application.
• Pour in concrete.
• The application will start measurement accordingly. And will signal check-points and set alarms.

Well, we have 6+ competitors. We are subscription based. And you pay as you go, at end of the month. We have different packages.

On the pricey end, one production and a sensor will cost you 18.99 EUR (~21.5 USD), and the cost-effective, one production and a sensor will cost you less then 1.1 EUR.

We have competitors where a solution will put you back 175 EUR. That is at 10-170 times our price level.

As per standards you need to use as much as the number of your main reinforcements. In general this means 2 sensors. The maximum we came across was 7.

The number of sensors you use does not change our rates, as with us, you pay per production.

After you get your secure pass from us, you simply download it from our portal and there you go.

But frankly, we hope you will rarely use it as our intention is to make you free of computers and technology. We build technology to do the work for you. This is not a brand image our marketing team suggested, now you know.

Most producers use our Starter package (50 productions per month). And buys sensors from us or other suppliers in small batches of 100.

Normally it is because there is an accidentally built metal cage (a Faraday cage) around the sensor and it sets up an electromagnetic barrier.

That is a good practice to check critical points such as enforcements or connections around the cast, end points. This can be done with:

• Schmidt hammers
• Pressure probes
• Penetration testing
• Universal compressive tests
• Ultrasound tests

• Our technology is robust. It is built to last.
• Our pricing is open and transparent.
• Our data is available, anytime, anywhere.
• We are not sharing your data.
• You pay as you go, there is no initial investment.
• We use our own radio network to communicate, making us more cost effective.
• We use our own cloud platform, again, making us more cost effective.
• We manufacture instruments and sensors in a cost effective, ethical manner.
• We cater for individual needs, we build analytics and fit the system to your ERP, MRP, PLC or any other automation system.
• We have a tried and tested method, validated by the biggest players.
