In this paper, we propose a mobile remicon quality management system to enable inspection and correspondence with a smart phone in the field check of remicon. We also proposed a real-time slump data processing part to digitize field inspection and XML formats for data exchange with the server. We used the smart phone to transmit real-time image about field inspection of remicon and judged the error at the same time. By doing this, we shared the situation of the remicon products in the field and the head office. Based on the actual results, the development technology is used to determine whether the product is abnormal or not, and to provide appropriate information to the company and the site. Based on the analysis of raw material quality data, it is possible to present real time optimal blending ratio according to raw material import with raw material management data, which is the biggest problem of the ready mixed concrete industry.

This study examined domestic and international regulations concerning concrete unit weight, along with an evaluation of unit weight in concrete poured on construction sites. Fluctuations in unit weight were observed to correlate with concrete quality issues such as material separation, bleeding, and latency. A word cloud analysis, centered on the concept of concrete quality, further highlighted the significant influence of unit weight. Comparative analysis between Korea and Japan revealed few substantial differences in unit weight management and measurement techniques. However, calculation of concrete unit weight at delivery, using the unit volume mass method, indicated considerable variability among random on-site samples. Notably, the unit weight often exceeded the recommended standard. These findings emphasize the necessity for strict adherence to unit weight standards by all stakeholders involved in concrete production and construction, including ready-mix concrete (REMICON) producers, construction firms, and inspectors. To ensure consistent quality of cast concrete on-site, the establishment of a more comprehensive and practical system is recommended, incorporating measures such as on-site inspections.
