The delivery of concrete is a crucial process in construction projects, and any delay or error can cause significant setbacks and added costs. Thus, effective real-time management of concrete delivery is essential to ensure timely and successful project completion. In this paper, we will discuss a practical and manufacturer-agnostic approach to real-time management of concrete delivery for construction named BET 4.0 that is being conceived with a close partnership with a construction company. This application provides the possibility to optimize the whole concreting process as it establishes the connection between all the relevant components and stakeholders involved in the construction process, namely the concrete plant, the transport, and the construction site, interfacing with all actors involved, and benefiting from real-time data produced by installed sensors in the several components such as machines, plants, or construction elements.
