Q Plant - Essential
The entry-level solution for mixing plant optimization.

This edition serves as the entry-level solution for optimizing mixing plants with Q Plant. Its focus lies on the digital ordering and delivery process as the foundation for optimizing production sequences. Each customer of the mixing plant can be provided with a digital ordering solution via app or web portal. The digitally created mix orders are managed in the ordering portal, and communication with the construction site also takes place digitally and at any time. Changes in the ordering process are automatically documented and visible to everyone.

For on-demand construction deliveries, the application offers planning capabilities and real-time information about the delivery process Q Plant Essential also includes an interface for importing digital delivery note information. This information is not only provided in Q Plant but also forwarded directly to the customer.

With the help of the current use overviews that are always available in the field of vision, the system can be used according to requirements.

Delivery process

The vehicle master data is stored for the “free construction delivery” logistics chain and can be accessed with every material order in order to distribute the transport information. By activating the phone number, drivers are invited to use the TruckBuddy app to be ready for any transport orders. When vehicles are connected via the TruckBuddy app or a telematics solution, the transport plans and positions of the transport vehicles are displayed in Q Plant. This supplies an overview of the expected arrival times of the vehicles at the mixing plant and allows production and silo inventory to be coordinated accordingly.

Communication

The 24/7 digitally available communication possibility with project stakeholders supports the entire order and delivery process. Understandable, automatically generated messages and input options for messages prevent misunderstandings and ensure clarity in the order processing process. The change history shows all content adjustments and status changes of the order.

Project and order overview

They include an interactive map view with truck and construction site information, as well as the delivery schedule and transport planning resulting from order data. Each order is supplemented by the corresponding delivery note data, which can be retrieved in a structured manner and downloaded as a list.

Dashboards order

These graphical views provide an individual overview of one or multiple locations and their orders. The configurable widgets can be designed according to personal needs and interests.

Dashboards delivery

These graphical representations provide an overview of the delivered quantities. The display can be customized according to various criteria.

Management of master data

The master data management feature enables the easy and clearly structured entry and maintenance of master data such as customer information, construction site details, or product data. Import and export functions ease automated data exchange using MS Excel. This is beneficial when there is no ERP connection or when integration cannot be set up for compatibility reasons.

Settings and user management

With these functions, users can manage general settings as well as access permissions, invitations for employees, and group administrations. Additionally, order overviews can be subscribed to via email, and integrations with third-party systems can be managed and set up.

Interfaces

Delivery note receipt and forwarding (weighbridge, customer)

Enabling seamless digital transmission, this interface functionality allows delivery note information from a weighing system (or another system that manages delivery note data in a structured manner) to be sent to Q Plant. Then Q Plant processes the delivery note information and, if supported by the interface, forwards it to the respective customer's software (e.g., Q Site).

ADVANTAGE MIXING PLANT

Optimize operations and eliminate errors

The transparent and comprehensible ordering system enables resource-saving production operations. The guided and documented process avoids errors and misunderstandings. All people involved in the work process in the company are up to date with the latest information. – this saves time, energy, emissions and thus costs.

ADVANTAGE CONSTRUCTION SITE

Transparent supply chain

The real-time information during paving creates a transparent supply chain and gives the construction site continuous insight into the quantity balances. The delivery note information is transmitted digitally and saves administrative work on the construction site. From the site manager to the foreman to the mixing plant, all those involved have access to uniform and up-to-date information.
