Adbri: 800+ trucks fitted, integrated and compliant in under nine months

Published

From early 2020, Netcorp fitted Adbri's agitators, tippers and tankers across four states and the Northern Territory: 800+ vehicles in under nine months. Every truck went live with mixer integration for Command Alkon, pre-starts, fault management and electronic fatigue.

The challenge

Adbri wanted its concrete fleet connected to Command Alkon dispatch, with every truck reporting what its drum was doing — mixing or pouring — as a live signal from the vehicle itself. That meant integrating with the mixer controls on hundreds of agitators, alongside tippers and tankers, across four states and the Northern Territory, at metro plants and regional sites.

The same hardware also had to carry Adbri's heavy vehicle obligations from day one: daily pre-start checks, fault reporting and fatigue management for its drivers.

And all of it had to happen without disrupting a production operation that runs to a pour schedule. Every truck off the road is a delivery that doesn't happen, so the rollout had to be fast, done on site, and planned around the fleet rather than the installer.

How we delivered at scale

  • Stage 1

    Plan around the fleet

    Install schedules built around Adbri's truck availability, so vehicles came off the road only when the operation could spare them.

  • Stage 2

    Fit on site

    Netcorp technicians installed the HVM01 at Adbri's own sites across four states and the NT, averaging 5–8 trucks a day — a pace set by truck availability, not install capacity.

  • Stage 3

    Live from day one

    Each truck left the bay with mixer integration, pre-starts, fault management and electronic fatigue all running. No second visit, no later phase.

What we deployed

HVM01 black box

Netcorp's heavy vehicle black box, fitted fleet-wide as one hardware platform for both dispatch signals and compliance.

Mixer control integration

Drum state read from the mixer controls and delivered as mix and pour signals for Command Alkon.

Pre-start checks

Digital daily vehicle checks, so defects are recorded before a truck leaves the plant.

Fault management

Defects and faults logged, tracked and closed out against each vehicle.

Electronic fatigue management

Driver work and rest tracked electronically from early 2020, months before the NHVR approved the first electronic work diaries in late 2020.

Onsite installation

Netcorp technicians fitting trucks where they work, in metro and regional locations, to keep downtime to a minimum.
