Compare the connected precast workflows: sensors, match curing, active curing control and plant QC. Both companies offer integrated platforms. The right fit depends on your production and quality requirements.
Published by Sensytec. Reviewed . This comparison covers precast monitoring, cylinder match curing and plant QC, with a separate note on jobsite sensors. Vendor sources describe advertised capabilities; they are not independent performance tests. Confirm the exact model, installation and quote before purchasing.
Both Sensytec and EXACT offer connected monitoring and plant QC workflows. EXACT adds active curing control through xControl. Evaluate Sensytec when you want to connect temperature and electrical resistivity monitoring with SensyCure and SensyHub QC. The useful comparison is how each system handles your actual bed, cylinder and release records.
| Capability | Sensytec | EXACT Technology |
|---|---|---|
| Monitoring | SensyRoc II: Bluetooth phone access. SensyCast: temperature and electrical resistivity with gateway connectivity. | xMonitor: temperature, optional humidity and maturity monitoring; Flex Logger and embeddable hardware options. |
| Match curing | SensyCure follows the production temperature history for companion cylinders. | xMatch follows xMonitor temperature data for companion cylinders. |
| Active curing control | Monitoring and cylinder match curing; production-bed heating control is not offered. | xControl offers steam/radiant control and direct-to-form electric heating. |
| Platform | SensyHub connects monitoring data; SensyHub QC links plant QC records. | EXACT Portal connects xMonitor, xMatch, xControl and xTrack, including QA records. |
| QC and traceability | SensyHub QC describes inspections, batch and break logs, NCRs, drawing references and exports. | xTrack describes scheduling, inspections, dimensional checks, element tracking, custom forms and reporting. |
| Installation and reuse | SensyRoc II has a reusable body with replaceable probes when installed for recovery. Specify the SensyCast installation and consumables in the quote. | Compare Flex Logger and Flex Embeddable Logger separately; the latter is sacrificial. |
EXACT's Stubbe's Precast case study describes defect management across plants, links between concrete test results and individual elements, and custom scheduling and drawing integrations. Those are substantive QA functions. The case distinguishes implemented functions from planned additions, including further stressing automation.
SensyHub QC describes checklist modes for PCI MNL-116/117, NPCA QCM-001 and state DOT plant programs. Ask both vendors to demonstrate one production day using your checklist: import the schedule, associate the mix and cylinders, record an inspection, resolve a nonconformance and export the release record. Confirm any custom integration work and its cost. Software records support an audit; they do not grant plant certification.
Sensytec describes electrical resistivity alongside temperature on its sensors. Resistivity adds information about the concrete, but requires mix-specific interpretation and does not directly measure compressive strength. For either supplier, establish how the concrete maturity method is calibrated, verified and used within the project's acceptance plan. Ask for the exact probe specification when humidity or resistivity is required.
The SensyCure controlled trial reports results from Sensytec's own two-day test. It is evidence for that setup, not a head-to-head test against EXACT. For a purchase trial, agree on the temperature profile, cylinder size, probe locations, sampling interval and acceptance measure, then compare both average tracking error and peak excursions. Read match cure versus maturity to distinguish estimated in-place strength from testing companion cylinders.
Include probes, loggers, gateways, connectivity, chambers, software seats, integration, calibration and support. Sensytec advertises SensyCast range up to one mile (1.6 km) line of sight. That is not a guarantee through concrete or around a reinforced plant. Validate coverage with the planned placement and record how each system recovers data after an outage.
Yes. EXACT Portal connects monitoring, match curing, curing control and xTrack, with digital QA records. Its plant offering includes QC and production tracking.
Yes. Sensytec offers SensyCure and EXACT offers xMatch. Compare chamber performance using the same temperature profile and test procedure; the published vendor figures are not a common head-to-head test.
EXACT describes active control of steam/radiant or electric production curing. This differs from monitoring concrete or matching the temperature of companion cylinders.
A vendor feature list does not establish project acceptance or plant certification. Review the applicable inspection records, calibration evidence and release procedure with the people responsible for your plant quality program.
Choose against your workflow. Include EXACT when production heating control or its proposed tracking integrations are important. Evaluate Sensytec for temperature and resistivity monitoring connected to match curing and plant QC. Run a demonstration using your own bed, cylinder and inspection records before choosing.
