Comprehensive Control
Pneutrol are one of the leading manufacturers of Automatic Concrete Batching Control Systems in the UK and Ireland.
With over 1800 systems installed worldwide, we have earned a reputation for high quality systems and service with superior customer support. Some of the key features of our Batching Control software are listed below:-
Running Screen
The running screen allows you to oversee the entire batch process, giving your operator all the information they need to effectively, efficiently and easily manage your plant. Not only that, but our systems allow you to:
- Pause the batching process at any time
- See an overview of the weigher’s status
- See an overview of mixer/holding hopper status and moisture contents
- See a drop report summary in real time, as they are completed
- Upon activation of our continuous batch facility, multiple loads can be tracked simultaneously through the system
- Comparisons can be made between ideal and actual batch weighments
Mimic/Manual Control
The Dynamix Control System allows complete manual control of the plant on your personal computer.
- 2D/3D Mimic displaying each process in a visual representation of the plant
- Easily switch between Automatic and Manual with one click
- Instantly determine what process the plant is in

Job Screen
The operator can add multiple jobs onto the job screen for the coming days.
- Jobs can be added onto the system with customer’s details – site address, account no, etc.
- Jobs can be added onto the Load Queue when ready for batching
- Operator can keep track of all job times with the timeline

Multi-User Access
Using our system, you can have up to ten users connected independently and simultaneously. All of these users can be connected at the same time with full access or with user configured access to limit what they can do and see.

- Technical engineers can connect to view faults and downtime
- Lab technicians can connect to modify recipes
- Accounts personnel can connect to view production or print reports

Dynamix utilises the latest Batching Control Topology to provide users with the flexibility of the wireless world. With our optimised communication protocol, we can offer users the ability to control and view the batching control process wirelessly throughout the plant.
Forklift Operator & Loading Shovel
Is your forklift operator constantly getting in and out of the cab to look at the infeed control or batching system? With Mobile Dynamix you can have full control of the system from anywhere in the batching yard.
The Loading shovel driver can manually or automatically select which bin to fill or view plant alarms and the forklift operator can adjust the water, change the batching recipe and accept plant alarms all from the comfort of the cab using Mobile Dynamix.
