Monitor concrete strength in real time - better decisions when casting

Written by Nordtec | May 12, 2026 1:33:45 PM

In concrete casting, time and strength directly determine the flow of the whole project. Waiting unnecessarily or proceeding too early affects both economy and quality.

With Celsicom TC603, you get a concrete data logger (also known as a concrete computer) that measures temperature continuously during curing and converts the measurement data into a concrete decision basis in the Celsiview cloud service.

The result is simple: you know when the concrete is ready - not when you think it is.

From temperature measurement to actual strength

The Celsicom TC603 concrete computer logs the temperature of the concrete throughout the curing process and sends the data wirelessly to Celsiview.

In the cloud service, measurements are linked to concrete recipes and maturity calculation, so you can follow the strength development in real time.

This provides a clear answer to a crucial question in production:
When can the next step be taken - formwork demolition, loading or further construction steps?

Instead of estimates, you get a basis based on actual development in the construction.

Reduce waiting time and increase precision in production

When you have precise control over the curing process, you can optimize the entire casting chain.

In particular, it is about:
  • reducing unnecessary waiting time before mold demolition
  • avoid conservative margins that slow down production
  • planning according to actual strength instead of templates

In projects with many castings or tight schedules, the effect is quickly measurable in both speed and resource utilization.

Celsiview - decision support for the entire casting process

What makes the solution complete isthe cloud service Celsiview.

Here, all temperature data from Celsicom TC603 is collected in a clear view where you can follow several castings at the same time. You can see temperature curves, maturity development and when the concrete reaches the right strength - no matter where you are.

This allows both site management and production to work with the same updated data in real time.

Proven in complex construction projects

Celsicom TC603 is already being used in large and technically demanding projects where control of concrete development is crucial.

In projects such as the West Link, hospital construction and major contracts, contractors such as NCC and HA Bygg have used the system to get better control of casting, reduce uncertainty and streamline production.

Common to the projects is the need for the same thing:
The right decision at the right time - based on data, not assumptions.

A concrete computer that simplifies the whole process

The Celsicom TC603 is designed to work directly in production without complicated handling.

You place sensors during casting and automatically get a continuous measurement sent to the cloud. The rest is done in the background - while you get full insight into the process in Celsiview.

This allows you to focus on production instead of monitoring.

To summarize

Measuring temperature in concrete is not a new method - but with Celsicom TC603 and Celsiview it becomes a sharp decision-making tool in production.

You get:
  • precise control of the curing process
  • more reliable planning of mold demolition and next steps
  • shorter lead times in the molding process
  • full documentation in the cloud
