  • Publication number: 20220314492
    Abstract: Embodiments disclose systems and methods to measure concrete mixer truck drum rotation. A camera (e.g., a video camera or Infra-Red (“IR”) camera) may capture images of a surface of a concrete mixer truck drum. A drum rotation measurement platform may receive the images of the surface of a concrete mixer truck drum captured by the camera and automatically analyze the captured images using machine learning technology to determine drum rotation information (e.g., a drum rotation speed and/or drum rotation direction). The drum rotation measurement platform may then output an indication of the determined drum rotation information. In some embodiments, the surface of the concrete mixer truck drum may include one or more marking symbols (e.g., of various shapes), and the automatic analysis performed by the drum rotation measurement platform includes detection of movement of the marking symbol between captured images.

  • Publication number: 20140244444
    Abstract: A paperless ticketing program acts as an intermediary between existing concrete dispatch and concrete batching programs. The paperless ticketing program receives concrete ticket delivery information from the concrete dispatch program and batch weight information from the concrete batching program in order to create a paperless ticket. A paperless ticketing client runs on a portable computer having a touch screen interface to allow a customer to electronically sign the ticket to acknowledge receipt of a concrete delivery. The paperless ticketing program retrofits existing systems with paperless ticketing functionality.
