The ALmix Insignia Control System (ICS) is a state-of-the-art, total plant control system for drum mix asphalt plants of all sizes. ICS provides a complete command of the blending process as well as individual motor control for every motor. ICS is an information center that allows the Operator to monitor, operate and report all plant functions. ICS yields real-time plant production data, resource consumption tracking, and 1/0 status unlike any other asphalt plant automation product on the market.
With ICS you can harness the raw information and oversight you need to unleash your asphalt plant performance, improve operational efficiencies, and fuel business decision-making.
