Stonemont Add-Ons

StonemontQC includes the option of purchasing a plant add-on license. This is a single plant add-on that offers different features depending on the plant type. Currently, the plant add-on includes crusher sampling and plant flow modeling for aggregate plants, and newly added QCI Pivot Tables and Dashboards for aggregate, asphalt, and concrete plants.

StonemontQC also includes the option of purchasing the OCR add-on for third party concrete testing. The OCR tool scans PDF files from third party break testing and imports the samples to Stonemont. These add-ons are by division and only apply to concrete testing.

OCR is an add-on module for concrete producers who are receiving external break results. Today, many labs run software that can produce a break report in a timely fashion in the Portable Document Format (PDF). However, additional lag-time may occur as a result of the concrete producer having difficulty finding the time or the personnel for hand-entering break data from commercial labs. With the OCR tool, concrete producers can electronically process and import results from external lab PDF break reports.

  • Fast data import from external lab testing
  • Cost-effective and time-saving data entry
  • Robust validation to quickly identify and fix potential errors

QCI Pivot Tables are a new addition to Stonemont under the Plant Add On License options. Pivot tables are used to summarize, analyze, and explore large datasets in a user-friendly way, allowing you to quickly identify trends and patterns. They enable you to rearrange and summarize data using rows, columns, and filters, and perform calculations like sums, averages, and counts on your data QCI Pivot Tables can be used for aggregate, asphalt, and concrete plants with a Plant Add On.

  • Quick data recall to track trends and changes over time
  • Provide tabular summary of data that can be exported to excel
  • Save preferred data tables and views
  • View tabular data in various charts including bar, line, and pie charts
  • Define calculated fields to better understand your data
  • View a variety of datasets including by technician, plant, or product

QCI Dashboards are a new addition to Stonemont under the Plant Add On License options. Dashboards are used as quick visual tools to track plant performance for a variety of parameters. QCI Dashboards can be used for aggregate, asphalt, and concrete plants with a Plant Add On.

  • Save preferred profile views for quick recall
  • Quickly chart data from a period of time for visualizing trends
  • View multiple parameters on one page including sample and production data
  • Analyze datasets by plant, product, or customer

Crusher sampling is an aggregate plant add-on that provides the ability to record and track crusher information including crusher motors, wear parts, and crusher sampling results.

Crusher Sample Data Entry

StonemontQC provides all levels of users a consistent data entry interface, insuring reliable data entry for recording crusher feed and discharge gradations. The data entry form allows users to record a feed gradation and a discharge gradation. These results are then stored as a feed and discharge product sample result and are associated with the crusher. The intuitive layout of the data-entry form allow for quick and efficient recording of crusher sampling results and automated calculation of important crusher processing variables, and wear part information.

Some advantages of StonemontQC Data Entry Include:

  • User Friendly, Intuitive Interface
  • Record crusher feed and discharge gradations in one simple form
  • Record other process variable results and associate with crusher feed or discharge product
  • Automatic calculation of crusher process variables (i.e. % Passing CSS, Reduction Ratio, F80, P80, and more)
  • Associate tons per hour with feed and discharge products
  • Automated Data Entry from lab balances
  • Define required data entry fields
  • Automatic email alerts on quality and process result failures and whether required data entry fields were entered. 
  • Manage crusher motor and wear part histories

Plant flow modeling is an aggregate plant add-on that provides the ability to mathematically model the flow of aggregate through a plant. It is a robust, integrated design tool that allows users to create and manage multiple plant flows at an aggregate operation. Users can drag and drop different plant elements onto a design window, connect the flow streams, manage properties of the different elements, and than run the plant. Plant modeling will indicate plant bottle necks and also allow users to find bottle necks in the plant by optimizing on feed rates, conveyor capacity, and / or screening capacity. In addition, a full set of quick summary reports, and charts are available for any element or multiple elements in the design.

Plant modeling in StonemontQC is unique due to its integration with aggregate products. This integration allows users to use actual crusher data and load product gradation results from aggregate products to compare to the model predicted results. This allows you to calibrate your model using observed data prior to proceeding with “What If” scenarios.

Features

  • easy to use drag-and-drop interface
  • cut/copy/paste functionality for equipment
  • multi-layer and multi-diagram support
  • linear, polyline, orthogonal, and arc flow stream support
  • zoom and pan and rotation capabilities
  • add user-defined text and user-defined ratio calculations
  • easily query for crusher results using a crusher query
  • easily query for measured/observed results on flow streams or stockpiles
  • automatically update all measured/observed results with a single query
  • includes tools to help calibrate the model such as comparisons between observed and predicted results
  • print/preview single layers or all layers
  • supports multiple processes or modes
  • includes warnings when exceeding capacities or other issues
  • set target flow rates on equipment and automatically determine the necessary plant feed rate
  • determine the maximum plant feed rate that can be obtained without exceeding equipment capacities
