Concrete drum control, property prediction, and monitoring systems and methods

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having instructions stored thereon that, upon execution by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to:

• control a drum assembly to rotate a drum at a first, unmixed speed to mix drum contents received by the drum, the drum contents including ingredients of a concrete mixture;
• acquire drum contents data indicative of a property of the drum contents from a mixture sensor and monitor the property of the drum contents as the drum rotates;
• acquire a target property for the drum contents upon delivery;
• determine a second, mixed speed based at least partially on the target property;
• and
• control the drum assembly to rotate the drum at the second, mixed speed in response to determining that the property of the drum contents indicates that the ingredients have been sufficiently mixed.

A drum control system comprising:

• one or more processing circuits having programed instructions to:
• control a drum assembly to rotate a drum at a first, unmixed speed to mix drum contents received by the drum;
• acquire a property of the drum contents as the drum rotates;
• acquire a target property for the drum contents;
• and
• control the drum assembly to rotate the drum at a second, mixed speed in response to determining that the property of the drum contents indicates that the drum contents have been sufficiently mixed, wherein the second, mixed speed is at least partially based on the target property.
