MOAG Baustoffe Holding AG is one of the leading asphalt manufacturers in Switzerland. The company is also a significant player in the European asphalt market. As early as 2020, MOAG began optimizing the operation of its mixing plants to make production and delivery even more efficient. At the heart of this optimization was the question of how to provide employees with optimal information regarding the operation of the mixing plants. The aim was to ensure smooth and resource-efficient production and delivery while always keeping the needs of customers in mind.
The commissioning of operations in all 5 plants with the introduction of Q Plant marks a milestone in the comprehensive implementation of the system. The platform serves as a central management tool for orders, communication with construction sites, and delivery management. Integration with the plant control system as1 from Ammann ensures error-free transmission of production information without manual inputs. The visual representation of operational and production data in Q Plant allows for easy interpretation. Particularly valued is the cross-site management of all mixing plants in one platform. MOAG is actively striving to expand its customer base for digital data exchange and informs interested parties about Q Point‘s SiteBuddy App on its website. This solution enables free digital communication with MOAG‘s mixing plants. Currently, over 60 construction companies are digitally collaborating with MOAG in this manner.
Digital solutions are revolutionizing the management of large asphalt mixing plants, enabling efficient and resource-saving operations. The Q Plant software serves as a link between employees on construction sites and in mixing plants, ensuring transparency and efficiency throughout the entire process. With digital collaboration, mixing plants can plan, react flexibly to changes, and optimize production cost-effectively. Construction companies benefit from optimized paving planning due to the provided delivery information. Furthermore, internal processes can be sustainably improved using digital data. In addition, MOAG has successfully inspired many of its customers with this solution, leading them to place orders digitally and receive valuable information for the installation process.
With the successful implementation of digital solutions such as Q Plant and Q Site, MOAG Baustoffe Holding AG has optimized its production processes and strengthened its customer relationships. The centralized platform enables effi cient communication and supports collaboration between mixing plants and construction companies, leading to increased transparency and efficiency. Digital collaboration allows mixing plants to react flexibly to changes and optimize their production cost-effectively. At the same time, construction companies benefit from improved paving planning and smoother operations. Overall, the introduction of these digital solutions has led to a win-win situation for all parties involved and demonstrates the potential of digitization and automation in the asphalt production industry.
