Your plant runs on Zylocon. We’re here for it.
We support the Zylocon batch systems and plant controls in service today, and we’re building what comes next for the producers who rely on them.
Tap a part of the plant to see what we support there.
Conveyor
Belt starts, stops and interlocks run through the plant I/O, so the batch system knows when material is moving. Motors and belts are the kind of equipment plant monitoring is meant to watch.
About plant monitoringBins, gates and weigh hopper
Gate outputs switch through Opto 22 Optomux I/O and solid-state relay racks. The scale reports over serial from a Cardinal, Rice Lake or Mettler Toledo indicator, and Zylocon Batch weighs each material to tolerance.
What we supportCement silo
The screw conveyor and cement weigh hopper run from the same I/O and scale connections as the aggregates, on the same batch screen.
What we supportMixer truck
Each load leaves with a batch ticket. Zylocon Dispatch, coming soon, tracks the truck from the plant to the placement and back, and the ticket is signed on site.
About Zylocon DispatchControl house
The batch computer runs Zylocon Batch: the operator screen, tickets and reports. Orders arrive from your dispatch system over ULink. The next Zylocon Batch is being built for this same computer and hardware.

A note on the new Zylocon
Zylocon equipment batches concrete every day at plants that have trusted it for years. My first job is to keep it that way: answer when you need us, keep your systems running, and fix what breaks.
Everything new we build is designed around the plants already running Zylocon. Dispatch connects to the batch system you have. The next batch software runs on the hardware already in your panel. Nothing gets replaced until you’re ready.
What’s supported, and what’s coming.
Every product carries its real status. When something moves forward, this list changes.
