From the plant to the road. Everything on one screen.

ASPHORA reads your plant, weighbridge and route data, and shows what needs attention while the work is still going on.

What needs attention right now.

Operation alarms from the plant’s own log and the weighbridge: what is out of specification, since when and for how many batches. A critical alarm stays on top.

How many tonnes did the plant really make, and why did it stop?

ASPHORA reads the plant’s own logs every few minutes; nobody types a tonne. You see the cumulative curve, how long warm-up took, every stop and how long it lasted, the machine’s own rate beside the day’s real rate, and a day score out of 100.

No connected plant automation? Record trucks and stop reasons from a tablet. Automatic batch and temperature analysis requires a compatible plant connection.

under the mixer

Is the asphalt in the truck within specification?

Every batch is checked against the recipe as it is weighed. Three out-of-tolerance batches in a row raise an alarm while the truck is still loading. Aggregate, bitumen and asphalt temperatures are checked against their specification bands, and you see which truck took the out-of-spec asphalt and roughly where it was laid.

From an affected load to the road section to inspect.

Repeated out-of-tolerance batches are associated with loads and an estimated chainage range. The lab sees where to start looking. Compare target thickness with estimated achieved thickness, plus over- or under-consumption.

Estimated location and thickness guide inspection; they do not replace field measurements or laboratory checks.

when it stops

Why did the plant stop? The first fault, not the twenty behind it.

When one fault trips twenty others in the same second, ASPHORA shows one event and names the record that started it. Stop causes add up into a ranked list. The AI assistant reads the day and proposes a diagnosis with its evidence; you confirm or correct it, and the next diagnosis starts from that.

Your verdict feeds the case memory. The next diagnosis starts from what this plant has already taught it.

Assistant
Why did the plant stop on 2 September?

Two windows. 13:13 – 13:38: sixty-two "lack on sort — bitumen 1" warnings, the plant waited for binder. 14:16 – 14:41: a gap after the tank change. No fault of the S class on either; production resumed on its own both times.

Verify against the plant log before you act on it.

It fetches the numbers with read-only tools and says so when it is inferring. It recommends what to do; you decide.

Machine groups · one dayevery record read

Records that never stopped production are counted too, group by group. Sixty-two “insufficient supply” entries on the binder line inside half an hour are not a breakdown yet — they are the one about to happen.

at the weighbridge

Too few trucks, or too many?

ASPHORA compares the trucks needed with the trucks running, from your haul distance, the plant’s rate and the measured round trip. It tells you how many minutes are lost in the queue, and which truck is running slow.

Enter two chainages. ASPHORA calculates the rest.

Mark the start and end chainage of what was paved on the map. Progress, remaining work in tonnes and days, material needs and cost update on their own. Split the project into sections, set priority programmes with a target date, and see each morning whether you will make it.

Turn a deadline into a daily production target.

Save a priority area and its target date. Compare planned and completed work, the daily tonnage needed, and finish forecasts at planned and recent pace. The work calendar keeps holidays, production days and lost days visible.

What came in, what was used, how long it will last.

A bitumen tanker passes the weighbridge and enters stock without anyone typing it. Production, fuel and coat emulsion are deducted automatically. You get a warning when a material drops below its critical level, and you see how many hours of bitumen are left.

Weighbridge receipt → stock

Bitumen, aggregate and other configured incoming products. No duplicate entry.

Production consumption → stock deduction

Check today’s receipts, consumption and balance; calculate material needs by tonnes or kilometres.

Cost per tonne, margin, and what is still unpaid.

Earned value, total cost, profit and progress payments not yet received, for the whole project and for every month. Costs are split into plant, haulage, paving and coats. The tonnage check below supports these numbers.

Every one of them has a switch, and the status hours are yours to set. One button connects your own group; the notifications speak four languages.

The tablet works offline and sends its entries when the connection returns.

anywhere

For any road project, in any country.

Time zone, language, currency, materials and mix designs come from your project, not from the software. The interface is in English, Turkish and French. A setup checklist takes a new project from empty to running and says which page is waiting for which step.

Plant automation is connected per make — Ammann today, other makes per project. The weighbridge is connected the same way. No automation? The tablet flow needs nothing but a browser.

Who sees what

Four roles. Money stays with management — an operator never opens it. Settings sit behind a PIN. You add your own people, and you cut their access yourself.

What is on site

Machines, the hours they ran and the crews that ran them, against a working calendar that already knows the country’s holidays.

Where your data lives

Each project in its own space, backed up every day and recoverable to a point in time. It is your data, and it stays that way.

Look at a real day before you decide.

The demo is a full project with sample data — production, chainage, stock. Read-only, nothing to install.

Everything ASPHORA does

Plant and quality

  • Every batch is checked against the recipe as it is weighed.
  • Shows which truck took off-spec asphalt, and how many tonnes.
  • Estimates roughly at which chainage that asphalt was laid.
  • Warns when aggregate, bitumen or asphalt temperature leaves the specification.
  • Catches the plant topping up an empty aggregate bin from another bin.
  • Why the plant stopped: the first fault record and the time lost.
  • How many tonnes per hour the plant really makes, and where the loss comes from.
  • Gives every day a score out of 100.

Weighbridge, trucks and stock

  • Flags suspicious weighbridge tickets: same weight, impossibly short trip, half load.
  • Shows which truck is being loaded right now.
  • Tells you if there are too few or too many trucks, and the time lost queuing.
  • Shows theoretical, plant and weighbridge tonnage side by side all day.
  • A bitumen tanker crossing the weighbridge is booked into stock automatically.
  • Tells you how many hours of bitumen are left and which material runs out first.
  • Fuel and emulsion use is deducted from stock automatically.

Project, planning and money

  • Enter only the start and end chainage; progress and cost are calculated for you.
  • Shows on the map which layer was laid where.
  • Gives remaining work in tonnes and days, with the daily output needed to finish.
  • Calculates how much of each material to order for the remaining work.
  • Shows cost per tonne, profit or loss, and progress payments not yet received.
  • Prepares the day report as a PDF every evening at 19:00.
