Can I have my batch man load concrete using a tablet?

Yes, we have an upgrade path for current Pioneer batch customers, please contact a Sysdyne sales representative for more information sales@sysdynetechnologies.com. -
Is BatchGo more expensive?

There are no annual maintenance fees if you choose the monthly subscription. Please contact a Sysdyne sales representative for more information sales@sysdynetechnologies.com. -
How does the unified database between dispatch and batch work?
Using a unified database, dispatch and batch become one system. When a user enters a new mix design for the plant, it becomes available instantaneously in both batch and dispatch. This holds true for customers, projects, orders, materials/constituents, tickets, drivers, trucks, and inventory information. -
Can I see other plants?
It will depend on the roles assigned. Users will be able to see other plants’ information if they are given the proper permissions. -
How long is my data saved?
The data is securely backed-up and saved for as long as the subscription is active. -
What type of maintenance is required for BatchGo?

Yes. -

MRC Pro
-
What kind proximity sensor does MRC Pro work with?
NPN three wire proximity sensor. We don’t guarantee that MRC Pro will work with all types of NPN sensors. To ensure quality, please contact us for your sensor needs. -
Counter doesn’t display ‘RES” even though the power cable is connected.
Check power source and harness connections. -
Counter is on and resets, but no lights come on when steel is near the sensor.
Check the harness and connections to the sensor/switch (see mounting directions in the operator’s manual.) -
Counter resets and lights go on but the counter doesn’t count after adjustment.
Ensure the fork-plate is mounted in the right direction (the narrow fork on the plate should pass the sensor first). Slow the drum speed and check if the decimal point on the counter display blinks twice after the fork passes the sensor. Check mounting dimensions of the sensor. -
The dot flashes, but neither the MIX count or TOTAL count change when the drum rotates.
Check the mounting of the fork plate (see user manual). Counter may be configured for incorrect application (see user manual). -
The light on the back of the proximity sensor is on even when the fork-plate is more than a foot away from it.
Ensure that the face of the sensor is at least 2 ¾ inches away from the sensor bracket. If it is, make sure there are no other metal objects in the vicinity of the sensor.
-
The counter registers count in the wrong drum direction only.
The fork plate is most likely mounted backwards. See “Mounting the Sensor” in the User Manual for proper plate arrangement. -
It doesn’t work and I have no clue why.
