Command Alkon's Command Cloud Batch AI Feed (formerly MIntelligent Feed) is designed to revolutionize concrete batching. This innovation stems from the potential artificial intelligence, harnessing data from the batching process to create a transformative differentiator for concrete producers and contractors. Developed under the umbrella of MIntelligent Feed from Marcotte Systems, Batch AI Feed follows years of dedicated R&D and significant investment - Marcotte Systems caught the attention of Command Alkon, which acquired the company and its product in 2024.
“The Batch AI Feed represents a significant leap forward in our industry,” said Todd Koch, Senior Vice President of Plant Automation at Command Alkon. “It not only elevates batching consistency and speed, but also reduces material waste and CO2 emissions, setting new production standards.”
Batch AI offers a reliable, scalable production system that helps contractors reduce waste, cut costs, and deliver consistent quality. The system incorporates artificial intelligence to analyze real-time data from the plant. This enables it to adjust feed equipment, ensuring precise batching of concrete. The system continuously adapts to changing conditions, minimizing deviations and ensuring that the concrete production consistently meets specified standards.

Benefits
- Material Cost Reduction: By optimizing batches based on preferred tolerances, Batch AI reduces material costs, lowers carbon footprints, and enhances profitability. The system's continuous learning ability implies that batching precision improves over time.
- Consistency and Reliability: The AI-powered technology automates concrete batching, enhancing efficiency and consistency without the need for constant human intervention. This reduces labor needs and ensures that precise batches are produced regardless of operator experience or plant conditions.
- Sustainability: The system contributes to a more sustainable future in concrete production by driving improvements over time.
Initial results from system adoption has demonstrated remarkable results, reducing human intervention by 50 percent and enhancing batching precision. The technology lays the foundation for a fully autonomous concrete plant and delivers efficient, accurate, and environmentally conscious concrete production capabilities.
With integration into Command Cloud and interoperability with Command Alkon’s COMMANDbatch concrete production controls, Batch AI Feed is poised to redefine productivity for concrete producers globally
