New algorithm optimizes automatic concrete discharge

Many companies still rely on manual concrete discharge, due to difficult batching of the material and frequently inadequate results achieved with automatic casting. Nevertheless, automated systems can reduce concrete consumption and cut down cycle times.

UniCAM.10, Unitechnik’s master computer, purpose-developed for precast plants, now enables enhanced utilization of automatic concrete spreaders. The software, based on a new algorithm, generates a spatial image of the required concrete discharge over a surface. This image is then used as a model for the concrete spreader. Maintaining the...
