Abstract :
Significant production increases at the plant in Union Bridge, MD have resulted in the noticeable need for modifications to the plant´s cement shipping and raw materials receiving concept. In response to this need, the plant has begun a modernization of its shipping department; including the installation of state-of-the-art equipment to ultimately allow all shipping and receiving transactions to be initiated, monitored and completed by the driver solely through the use of an Automated Plant Portal System
