How has the TMS system changed day-to-day operations at Danucem’s aggregates plants?
Nataliya Lomonos, Performance Coordinator, and Michał Beták, Operations Manager, talk about the benefits of the implementation, automated reporting, and measurable cost savings.
With TMS, the team gained full data transparency, reduced downtime, improved operational efficiency, and adopted a new, fact-based approach to decision-making instead of relying on intuition.

Five quarries, 200 machines and over 14 million tons of aggregate extracted every year — the PBI Group is one of the undisputed leaders in the construction industry. Marcin Siatrak, Technical Director, and Kamil Stępień, Technical and Maintenance Coordinator, explain how the TMS system helps manage operations on such a massive scale.

The introduction of the TMS Platform at Tomaszowskie Kopalnie Surowców Mineralnych, part of the Quarzwerke Group, has enabled the company to operate in a balanced way – effectively integrating quantity, quality, and cost management. According to Andrzej Grodzki, Plant Manager at TKSM Biała Góra – one of the largest quartz sand mines in Europe – the key benefit is the increased transparency of operations made possible by the platform.

In the first week of using the TMS Platform, we recorded 30 idle-related alerts daily—on just one machine. With eight machines in operation, that added up to over 200 alerts each day. A quick calculation revealed that this was costing us hundreds of thousands annually,” says Paweł Chrapek, Production Director at the Melafir Quarry in Tłumaczów, Regnars Sp. z o. o.

Dariusz Koczara has successfully implemented TMS solutions in multiple companies across diverse industries. For him, the cornerstone of optimizing work processes lies in obtaining precise, objective data about the actual performance of machinery.
