AS1 Additional Modules

AS1 PIP - Plant Information Point

The as1 PIP module provides access to key plant data at any time – and from anywhere.

Information such as today’s production quantities, the latest production details, the status of the plant and updates on key components such as the burner and mixer are uploaded to the Ammann cloud.

The data can be accessed from any location, using a browser on the desktop, tablet or smart phone. Even batch protocols are available as a PDF for download.

Highlights

• Mobile data solution

• Plant KPIs

• Latest production information

• 7-day production trends

• Operating data

• Plant status info (e.g., bitumen tank temperature)

• Daily trend data

• Batch protocol PDFs

• Upgradeable to Q Plant solution;

AS1 Loadout

The right load is important

The as1 Loadout module is the logical complement of the as1 production control system. The enlarged view of the loadout silos offers additional information such as time stamps of the last filling and take out, silo content (Quantity and Article) and last loaded quantity. The view comes either on the main screen, a second screen or optionally on a separate workstation for the truck loading operator.

Highlights:

• Large display of the loadout silos on separate view with additional information

• Efficient and safe loading creates cost advantages and satisfied customers

• Increased safety thanks to integrated tare verification and overload protection of the vehicles

• Automatic level calculation of the loadout silos

AS1 Traffic Control (TC)

Who is next

In addition, large alphanumeric displays for signaling the loading sequence can be integrated. In combination with loadout.

Highlights:

• Less communication via radio

• Automatic display of silo and truck information

• No traffic jam before weigh bridge

• Optimized process flow

AS1 Weighing System

Automatic delivery note generation

The as1 truck weighing system can be used to create weighing orders, weigh vehicles, and create delivery notes. The delivery note data can be transferred electronically into the invoicing system by means of data transfer, which reduces the amount of administrative work considerably. The truck weighing system can be operated as a stand – alone system or it can be combined with the as1 loadout system and integrated into an as1 process control system. This enables valuable synergies to be utilised.

Highlights:

• Integrated master data handling

• Direct delivery note creation

• Integrated delivery statistics

• Fully integrated with as1 control system

• Reduction of administration costs thanks to electronic data transfer into the invoicing system

• Overload protection in combination with as1 loadout system

AS1 Driver Terminal

Your customer chooses

Depending on customer requirements, the system can be supplemented with a card-based identification system with touch panel in order to aid the operator.

Highlights:

• Optimized process flow

• Less communication via radio

• Available with RFID cards and PIN codes

• Self registration when arriving at plant

• Available with ticket printer in combination with as1 weighing system

AS1 Dynamic Recycling Addition (RAD)

Various RAP ratios in a single recipe

Use of reclaimed asphalt protects natural resources and also offers economical advantages. The optional as1 module “dynamic RAP addition“ makes it easy to modify the RAP ratio in accordance with requirements, even during production.

Two compensation options
Quantitative compensation

The correction of virgin material is carried out in relation to the quantity and composition of the RAP material.

Qualitative compensation

The correction of virgin material is carried out in relation to the quantity and composition of the RAP material in accordance of Ring and Ball specifications (based on the formulae detailed in EN13108).

Highlights:

• The integrated wizard guides operator through the recipe input process

• One recipe is sufficient for numerous RAP ratios

• Changing the RAP ratio by using the slide controls during production

AS1 Ecoview

Energy efficiency made visible

The additional module EcoView shows how efficientliy your operators are running the plant. The operating data is continuously recorded and presented in condensed form to the operator.

The EcoView module informs in a simple way about the energy consumption and the according CO₂ emission values related to ton of produced mixed material. With the display compared with historical data or with explicitly defined target values, trends and actions may be recognized. EcoView sensitizes and promotes an energy optimized operation of the mixing plant and helps to discover and eliminate energy waste.

Highlights:

• Intuitive operator display showing how efficient the plant runs

• Displays key values and enables comparison to reference values and previous periods

• Determines the emitted CO₂ values

• Determines the resulting energy costs

AS1 Peak Load (PLM)

Peak load management

For some energy media the energy price is based on price for work and price for capacity. For the latter, normally the measured peak is responsible for the tariff to be paid. It is in the interest of the plant operators / owners to keep the peak loads as low as possible.

The as1 peak load management effectively supports the process by continuously monitoring the peak performance, against critical values and prediction of peak tariff timing, with the intent to reduce the peak load demand at the time of day that is most costly. In addition, the certain devices can be managed by stepping or automatic (ie: Heating) to be switched on / off, based on the consumers forecast of optimal high and low points in the tariff concession.

The as1 peak load management module fits seamlessly in the as1 eco modules and is available for the energy media electricity and gas.

Highlights:

• Preventing short term and expensive electrical peak loads

• Forecast function

• Automatic switch off for electrical consumers

AS1 Excel Addin

Indispensable for in-depth evaluations of as1 data in Excel

Ammann offers an AddIn for Excel for comprehensive data evaluation, as an extension of the broad menue of as1 standard reports. This ingenious tool makes your Excel as1-capable. This enables the desired data to be imported into Excel where it can then be processed just as you wish.

Highlights:

• The requisite data can be selected from the comprehensive as1 data pool, imported into

• Excel and then evaluated

• Newly generated data can be seamlessly integrated at any time with a click of the mouse

• An effective tool for your individual evaluations in one trusted tool

AS1 Integrated Maintenance Management (IMM)

Maintenance due?

The as1 IMM Module supports the staff with the planning of the required maintenance tasks of the mixing plant. The module allows various maintenance tasks to be created and structured. Supported are maintenance tasks with fixed time schedules as well as event based tasks which are automatically planned based on the operating hours or the quantities processed on the plant. Store documents like work instructions or even short video clips to each single maintenance task.

Highlights:

• Planning of cyclic maintenance tasks

• Planning of event based maintenance tasks

• Listing of the due maintenance tasks

• Cost registration of the maintenance tasks

• Assignment of detailed, multimedia work instructions
