TMS Group - Digital Platform for Aggregate Quarries

TMS Group Europe is a technology company with over 18 years of experience in delivering digital transformation projects for the aggregates, cement and heavy materials industries. The TMS Platform (Industry 4.0 → 5.0) operates in more than 300 plants across 9 countries, supporting both global groups and regional producers.

The platform integrates data from mobile machines, production plants, technological lines, belt weighers, fuel stations, energy and gas meters, and SCADA/ERP systems, eliminating manual data collection and human error. All operational data is captured automatically and analysed in real time.

Key functionalities include:

• automated production, transport and fuel accounting,

• real-time KPI, OEE/OOE/REE analysis,

• energy and fuel efficiency monitoring,

• identification of downtime, idle runs and process losses,

• customised reports for operators, managers and executive teams,

• data-driven recommendations supporting continuous improvement.

TMS enables quarries to achieve production cost reductions of 20–30%, fast ROI (typically under 4 months), and measurable gains in productivity, energy efficiency and operational transparency. The system supports ESG and corporate reporting requirements and is designed for demanding industrial environments.

At Hillhead, TMS will demonstrate how digitalisation can deliver practical, measurable results — turning raw operational data into clear insights and better decisions across the entire quarry value chain.
