Background
Founded in theShafer Redi-Mix is a prominent player in the ready-mix concrete industry, priding itself on innovation and efficiency. Facing the challenge of optimizing operations at multiple plant locations, Shafer needed a robust, scalable solution that would streamline their batching process while improving overall efficiency.
Challenge
Traditional batching systems required a batchman to be physically present at each plant location to manually push buttons and manage operations. This setup is resource-intensive, requiring significant staffing and coordination.
Shafer was looking for a more efficient method that would allow for remote operations while maintaining high safety and quality standards. The goal was to reduce operational costs and comfortably manage multiple plant locations under centralized control.
Solution
Shafer ultimately chose Sysdyne’s CloudBatch for their operations. CloudBatch is a cloud-based solution that allows for remote batching from any location. This flexibility was crucial for Shafer, enabling a single batch operator to manage multiple plants without being on-site.

"We run seven plants with just two batch operators. All of our directors, ownership... everyone has access to the CloudBatch system. And they can see what’s going on, anywhere in the company, from anywhere. You’re not going to get that with anything else." - Tim Moore, Director of Operations, Shafer Redi-Mix
