Concrete Made Simple™ Overview

Why Concrete Made Simple™

  • Install Without Shutting Down — We wire in parallel to your existing controls and run alongside them. You keep batching. You switch over when you're ready, not when we are.
  • Retrofit or New Plant — Built for both. If your controls are old and the company that made it is gone, you don't need a new plant — you need new controls.
  • High Reliability — Standard Automation Direct components, not a proprietary board with a twelve-week lead time. Reload the software yourself. A maintenance need never becomes a crisis.
  • Runs Any Mix You Batch — Up to four cements, four aggregates, four admixtures, 50 mix designs. Precast, SCC, block and paver, central and dry-charge ready mix, bagging. Moisture compensation on every batch.
  • Batch Data for One Plant or All of Them — Back Office collects every batch from every system you run and puts it in one place. Tickets, material usage, production. Your data, your business.
  • 41 Years, and Someone Answers — Four decades of batch plant work behind it, and 24/7/365 support from the people who built it.

For over 50 years, Phil has been solving problems in industrial automation, going all the way back to when the Programmable Logic Controller first changed the game in 1969. His obsession? Building controls that are simple to install, easy to operate, and built to last. He holds an M.S. in Civil Engineering from the University of Minnesota – Twin Cities, but his real credential is decades of figuring out what actually works in the field.
