Concrete Quality
CiDRA Concrete Systems
Headquartered in Eden Prairie, Minnesota, CiDRA Concrete is an IoT based business that provides real time continuous concrete quality measurement from the batch plant to the job site with the SMARThatch system.

SMARThatch provides continuous measurement data in the cab and in the cloud. For the first time, producers can see the dynamic changes in every batch of concrete. This allows users to improve material design to drive consistency every day resulting in more economically effective mixes, reduced rejections and reduced waste.
SMARThatch keeps your entire team informed about changes in real time, allowing them to take action to save time and material.
Sustainability
Concrete is the world’s greatest building material. For thousands of years nothing has matched its flexibility in placement and strength in place to construct our greatest and most durable structures.
While the Ready-Mix industry adapts to more ecologically friendly practices, our supply chain contains energy intensive processes. CiDRA’s SMARThatch system is leading the fight to mitigate this impact.
By measuring concrete dynamics continuously, from batch plant to job site, we deliver new insights into material performance dynamics. Make informed decisions to optimize designs and actively reduce, reuse, and recycle material that would have historically been waste.
