OT Network Monitoring for Aggregates & Ready-Mix Plants
Monitoring sized for a plant with one control panel and no IT staff: the batch controller, the scale, the dispatch link, and whoever is talking to them, starting with the sites that produce the most tickets.
What is specific to aggregates and ready-mix
Watch three things, at the plants that matter, and no more.
Enterprise OT monitoring platforms are priced and designed for refineries. A ready-mix fleet needs to know when something new starts talking to a batch controller, when a scale system reaches out to the internet, and when the dispatch link goes down, at the plants where that costs real money.
- Batch controller, scale, dispatch
- Per site, the monitored set is small and named: the batch controller or plant PLC, the scale or weighbridge system, and the dispatch and ticketing link. Baselines are simple because the traffic is simple, so a new talker is an obvious event rather than a needle in a haystack.
- Busiest sites first, small sensors where warranted
- The highest-volume batch plants and the primary quarry get a small site sensor. Lower-volume sites are covered by monitoring the vendor remote-access paths and the dispatch link centrally, and are added to full monitoring as volume or incidents justify.
- Alerts in plant language, to someone who can act
- A batch plant has a plant manager and a loader operator, not a SOC. Alerts go to Potenza's triage and to the named plant contact, phrased as which system, what changed, and what to do first.

Get Started
Start with the busiest batch plants
Tell us how many sites you run, which produce the most tickets, and what batch, scale, and dispatch systems they use. We'll return a scoped monitoring proposal.
What you'll get
- Named monitored set per site: batch, scale, dispatch
- Site sensors at high-volume plants, central coverage elsewhere
- Incident response with a 30-minute critical SLA
- Weekly activity summary per plant in plain language
