Concremote for Precast – Smart Real-Time Monitoring
- Enhance production efficiency
- Minimize cement and energy usage,
- Ensure precise curing times — resulting in greater sustainability
The Challenge – Why change in the production process is needed?
- 8% of global CO₂ emissions come from cement production.
- Precast concrete production faces increasing pressure to reduce CO₂ emissions without productivity loss or cost spikes.
Managing Sustainability Pressure:
CO₂ reduction through more precise processes
Managing Time as a Critical Factor:
Accelerate processes, increase productivity
Reducing Resource Costs:
Targeted and efficient use of cement, water and energy
Ensuring High Precision:
Accurate measurement data for optimized material usage
How Concremote Enhances Your Production
-
Real-Time Strength & Maturity Monitoring
Concremote provides live tracking of concrete curing and strength development, ensuring optimized production timelines. The lightweight sensor transmits data via LoRa technology, integrating seamlessly with the myConcrefy portal for live monitoring, forecasting, and scenario simulations. -
Instant Readiness Indication
A blinking green light signals when the product is ready for demoulding, making it visible to all workers in the factory —improving workflow efficiency. -
Seamless Integration with Smart Systems
Concremote connects effortlessly with BIM, ERP, and production systems, allowing for automated curing, formwork removal, climate control, and energy savings.
Saving cement through precise measurements and optimization of the production process
Concremote for Precast operates via a LoRa network, the system is especially well-suited for use inside precast factories. Unlike the standard version for construction sites, which relies on GSM communication, the LoRa-based solution enables reliable and energy-efficient data transmission—even in production halls with thick concrete walls or steel structures. The sensors send measurement data every 10 minutes, giving production planners constant access to real-time information on the hardening and maturity of concrete elements. This allows for even more precise process control and seamless integration with ERP systems.
How digital traceability benefits you:
- Real-time reporting – Access all production data anytime, anywhere.
- Comprehensive quality control – Document strength development with accuracy.
- Streamlined certification processes– Support for CSC and SPC certifications.
- Full Digital Integration – Seamlessly connect sensors, gateways, a LoRa network, and a cloud-based portal for complete process control.

The Concremote Precast Sensor combined with LoRa-Technology
Technical Overview: Wireless Sensor Technology
- Communication via LoRa and private LoRa network gateway which allows real data every 10 minutes even in curing chambers. Those chambers are signal closed environments so GSM signal can not enter those areas. With our local LoRa gateway solution, an inner antenna is installed to retrieve data during curing. Private LoRa networks are easy expandable to cover difficult areas.
- Light weight (230gr) and easy to handle, therefor less imprint and rework.
- 2 way communication, measuring data from device to backend, status data (e.g needed concrete strength reached) from backend to device.
- Fast Qi protocol, fail safe, fast charging (also used for mobile phones)
- Fully integrated in Concrefy’s customer portal myConcrefy.
