Drum and PTO input
A sensor on the drum or PTO shows when the drum is turning, beside the truck’s position and speed, and on tippers it shows when the body is raised.
Industries · Ready-mix and bulk materials
From batching plant to pour, every minute counted.
Doroobi Fleet follows each mixer and tipper through the whole cycle, plant, road, site and back, and records how long it waited at the pour, so turnaround and waiting time stop being a matter of opinion.
Concrete does not wait. Once a mixer is loaded at a plant in Al Quoz or Mussafah, the load has a limited time to reach the pour, and in summer many pours happen at night. Every minute a truck queues at a tower site, or waits for a late pump, adds up across the day, and when a customer disputes waiting charges there is often little to show but the driver’s word.
Doroobi Fleet is being built to measure the whole cycle. A tracker with an input for the drum or the PTO tells a turning mixer from a stopped one, zones around each plant and site mark the moment a truck arrives and leaves, and the turnaround report lines each trip up into loading, travel, waiting and return.
What Doroobi Fleet sets up for ready-mix
Plant and site zones
Draw zones around each batching plant, quarry and pour site, and every arrival and departure is time-stamped without a single call.
Waiting time on record
Time inside a site zone is recorded for every load, so waiting charges rest on a report your customer can see.
Working hours per zone
Set working hours for each zone, so night pours are expected and a truck moving outside a planned pour raises an alert.
Driver ID and behaviour
A tag in each cab ties harsh braking and speeding to the driver, which matters with a full drum on a city road.
How a pour day changes
Loading
Each mixer’s exit from the plant zone is recorded, and the dispatcher sees the trucks heading to the pour on the map.
On the road
Live traffic from Doroobi drivers shows a jam on the E611 or Al Khail Road before the next truck leaves, so the plant can space the loads.
On site
The site zone records when the truck arrived and when it left, and the drum input shows when the drum was turning.
Next morning
The turnaround report shows each truck’s cycles and waiting time per site, ready to send to the customer or to plan the next pour.
Why live traffic matters for a pour
A pour is planned around trucks arriving one after another. Doroobi drivers report crashes, roadworks and closures as they happen, and their speeds show where the road has slowed, so the plant sees trouble before the next mixer leaves. On Doroobi’s own 3D map, with 3D buildings and names in Arabic and English, the site and its roads look the way the driver sees them.
Questions
Can it tell whether the drum is turning?
Yes, with a drum or PTO sensor wired to the tracker’s input. The drum status then shows on the map and in the trip history, beside the truck’s speed.
How do you measure waiting time on site?
A zone around the pour site records when each truck enters and leaves. The time in between is the waiting and discharge time, listed per load and per site.
Does it work for tippers and bulk trucks too?
Yes. Tippers carrying aggregate from the quarries in Ras Al Khaimah and Fujairah use the same zones, and a sensor on the body shows when it is raised.
Can a site manager see when the next truck will arrive?
You can send the site manager a live location link for a truck. After launch, arrival times from live Doroobi traffic come with the dispatch tools.
