Industries
IT for aggregate and concrete
Scale houses, plant controls and dispatch, spread across pits that are not on any map. We have supported businesses like yours since 2005, and we know where the trouble starts.
What breaks, and when
Scale houses and batch plants sit at the end of a gravel road with no fiber and sometimes no power for the network closet. Connecting them to the office reliably is a wireless engineering job.
Dispatch, ticketing and truck tracking have to work at every site, all day, or trucks sit. Plant control systems run on industrial hardware that has to be isolated from the office network.
Suppliers, transporters, precast and industrial chemical operations each have compliance documentation that lives in systems nobody wants to lose.
Dust, heat and vibration. Office equipment does not survive a scale house. Hardware selection and a spares plan matter more here than anywhere.
What we do differently
We serve aggregate suppliers, concrete and precast producers, industrial chemical operations and the transportation companies that move it all. We have built wireless links between buildings and across yards, and we know the difference between a network for an office and one for a plant.
One concrete client has rated us on more than a dozen tickets this year, and the word that keeps coming up is non-intrusive: the work gets done without getting in the way of the plant.
What clients in aggregate and concrete say
A backup that has never been restored is a hope, not a plan. Ask for the date of the last tested restore.
What to actually test TechnologyMulti-factor on email but not on the remote gateway is a locked front door with the back door open. Do all of them.
Multi-factor everywhereCompliance, insurance and audits
Mine safety and environmental records, scale certifications, ticket and load histories, and chemical handling documentation all have to be retained and producible. Plant control systems fall under the same guidance as any industrial control network: isolate them, monitor them, and never let office malware reach them. We design for that and document it.
Your first sixty days with us
Stand on every site with the equipment and design the links back to the office.
Isolate plant controls from the office network and put the scale house on hardware built for it.
Back up dispatch and ticketing and test a restore.
Software we already know
Not on the list? Ask. We have probably seen it.
Stories from this kind of work
Questions we get asked
Can you connect a remote pit to the office?
Usually with a point-to-point wireless link or a carrier service, chosen after we have stood on the site with the equipment.
Our scale computer keeps dying. Why?
Because it is an office PC in a scale house. Industrial-rated hardware and a spare on the shelf solve it permanently.
- A technician who knows your setup takes every request. Not a dispatcher, not a queue.
- Every closed ticket is surveyed and a partner reads every response.
- 99.5% of surveys come back positive.
- Family-owned since 2005. 21 years in the same corner of Wisconsin, not going anywhere.
"As always, efficient, non-intrusive and complete!"
