Admixture Inventory Tracking: Real-Time Monitoring & Automated Reordering

Admixtures are essential for modern concrete performance, but their inventory management presents unique challenges—shelf life limits, multiple product types, and precise dosage requirements.

The Complexity of Admixture Management

Most concrete producers use 5-15 different admixtures across their operations: water reducers, air entrainers, accelerators, retarders, and specialty products. Each has different storage requirements, shelf lives, and usage patterns.

Key Management Challenges

Tracking multiple products across multiple tanks and totes
Managing shelf life and FIFO rotation
Reconciling actual usage with batch system dispensing data
Coordinating reorders with production schedules
Maintaining proper storage temperatures

Industry Insight

Producers with automated admixture tracking report 50% reduction in emergency orders and eliminate expired product waste. Integration with batch systems enables automatic inventory deduction with each batch.

Modern Tracking Solutions

Tank-level sensors, flow meters, and batch system integration provide real-time visibility into admixture inventory. Smart algorithms predict usage and generate reorder alerts accounting for lead times and minimum order quantities.

Coming to MaterialsLogic

MaterialsLogic is expanding to include comprehensive admixture management—tank monitoring, shelf life tracking, automated reordering, and full integration with batch systems and supplier ordering platforms.
