Abstract
Apparatus for real time water content and water cement monitoring on a ready-mix concrete truck includes at least one real time moisture measurement module or sensor configured to sense continuous real time moisture measurements of a batch of wet cement loaded into a rotating drum of a ready-mix concrete truck; and provide signaling containing information about the continuous real time moisture measurements sensed. The apparatus may include either a hatch door of the rotating drum of the ready-mix concrete truck, or the rotating drum of the ready-mix concrete truck, or the ready-mix concrete truck itself.
