The heart and brains of the Accu-TrackTM Advantage with Autopilot Integration is that it's a proven system to make the best Hotmix Asphalt in the World.
The heart of the system is having the accumulated knowledge and logic that’s been developed for over 45 years of making hotmix asphalt through continuous and/or drum mix asphalt plants. The reason this is so important is that producing companies have developed ideas, approaches, technology and meeting mix specifications from all over North America and all over the World.
The Accu-TrackTM Advantage is utilizing this accumulated knowledge to help your asphalt plant make mix on specification, often receiving bonus pays and avoiding waste of material. This logic includes items such as timing of each material as it moves through the process at different rates. It includes the verification of feed rates, liquid asphalt rates, dust, lime, liquid additives and more. With the Accu-TrackTM Advantage, it's not unusual for a start-up to have less than a wheel barrel full of waste material.
It also accounts for items such as sequential starts and sequential stops and silo selection, all of which require knowledge, logic and more. What’s amazing, a lot of this logic was developed before there was a Microsoft Corporation and before there was an Apple computer – put that into perspective.
The Brains of the Accu-TrackTM Advantage include the ability to customize a plant operation to give aid and comfort to the operator, the superintendent and the owner or manager of the operation. Some examples of this are programming in either an alert or an alarm or an actual shutdown, depending upon if the condition is beyond an acceptable level. Do you really want to make asphalt and put it in the silo and not have the right amount of liquid? Do you really want to make mix and take it to the road and the gradation is off or the dust content is missing?
