QMA-2501 Speaks...
Yes, Cedarapids' HMA control system now talks to your plant operator.  It is no longer enough for automation systems to trigger a beeper and expect an operator to find and read a text message.  This wastes time and results in production loss.  Why should an operator be forced to stop what he/she is doing and walk over to look at a critical temperature display?  All QMA-2501 Hot Mix Asphalt plant automation systems now come standard with several "narrator" features your operators will quickly find indispensable.  In fact, operators will quickly grow accustomed to the familiar voice that allows them to roam more freely and take care of your customers.  This means more production from your plant.  Each of some 300+ alarm messages is spoken aloud to the plant operator as they occur.  When making hot mix, the mix temperature is spoken aloud at time intervals you specify.  Voices are customizable by male/female, speed, and pitch and can be disabled at any time by the operator.  Contact your local Cedarapids Sales representative about this and other impressive features found in QMA-2501 from Cedarapids.

QMA-2501 Adopts Metric(SI) Units  Cedarapids' workhorse HMA control system continues to receive new features.  Recently we completed the adoption of Metric(SI) units into our QMA2501 control system for HMA plants.  In doing so we provided "on-the-fly" switching of all on-screen displays and printed documentation to/from customary English units and Metric units independently in four basic categories.  These categories include Mass, Temperature, Pressure, and Volume.  (more) The primary user for Metric(SI) units will be New York State plants both old and new, where a deadline has been set for Jan 1, 2003 for full adoption.   (more)
