OverviewThe as1 Control System consolidates decades of concrete‑plant experience into an operator‑focused control solution. It identifies inefficiencies and supports consistent, efficient production to improve margins across your plant.
as1 — Control system for concrete plantsThe system enables operator control of aggregate feeding and metering of aggregates, binders, water and additives. All functions are operated via keyboard and mouse and monitored through intuitive real‑time displays. Audible and visual messages and warnings support quick operator response. The result is an intuitive control system designed for reliable daily operation and improved plant efficiency.
