Precast / Prestressed Solutions
xControl is an adaptive curing system for precast and prestressed manufacturers that accelerates strength gain through automated valve control for steam or direct-to-form electric heat.
Accurate Bed-Level Monitoring in Real Time
xMonitor solves one of the biggest challenges faced by precast manufacturers: understanding what’s happening inside the concrete. Using rugged wireless loggers and probes, it captures real-time temperature, humidity, and maturity data from precast beds and ambient conditions, then streams it to EXACT Portal. Automated alerts flag overheating, or deviations that could delay stripping or cause rejections. With reliable, continuous data, plants can strip on time, avoid costly scrap, and optimize mix designs for maximum efficiency.
xMonitor Features
Automated Alerts– Detect overheating or deviations before they cause rejects.
Accurate & Reliable– ±0.2°C (±0.4°F) temperature accuracy with proven durability in demanding conditions.

Verified Strength You Can Trust
xMatch solves the long-standing problem of release cylinders that don’t reflect the true strength of precast elements. By using temperature data from xMonitor, xMatch chambers wirelessly recreate the same curing environment as the product itself. The result is early-age break data you and inspectors can trust — allowing plants to strip sooner, satisfy DOT and client requirements, and optimize mixes without overdesign.
xMatch Features
Representative Cylinders – Ensures test cylinders cure under the same conditions as your elements matching accuracy ±0.2°C (±0.4°F).
Why xMatch?
Acquired Sure Cure – Taking the best of the 2021 Sure Cure system, we’ve updated and integrated it into our ecosystem to provide a more robust, user-friendly, and data-driven curing solution.

Adaptive Curing Control for Predictable Outcomes
xControl eliminates the curing bottlenecks that often stall precast and prestressed productivity by offering two distinct pathways for optimizing strength gain.
The xControl Steam/Radiant system modernizes traditional setups by integrating existing infrastructure into the EXACT Portal, utilizing precision valve control for heater input to automate complex ramp and soak cycles.
xControl Electric introduces a cutting-edge method that applies uniform heat directly into the forms for faster, cleaner, and more sustainable results. This electric alternative achieves over 90% energy efficiency, making it dramatically more consistent and resource-effective than traditional steam methods. Whether leveraging automated steam regulation or high-efficiency electric heat, xControl provides producers with reliable strength development and a clear path to greater output.
xControl Features
xControl Electric– Apply uniform, efficient heat directly into the forms for faster, cleaner, and more sustainable curing. Electric curing delivers over 90% of energy directly into the concrete, making it dramatically more efficient and consistent than steam. With xControl Electric, producers gain reliable strength development, shorter cycle times, and a clear path to higher throughput and lower costs.
xControl Steam/Radiant– Portal-based control of existing legacy systems with accurate ramp and soak control using automated valves, ramps, holds, and cool-downs.
Why xControl?
Portal Connectivity– Monitor and adjust curing profiles in real time alongside xMonitor and xMatch data.
Next-Generation Curing for Prestressed
The xControl Electric is an intelligent, data-driven curing platform engineered for prestressed manufacturers to maximize production velocity while reducing operational overhead. While traditional steam systems suffer from significant ambient heat loss, complex plumbing, and high maintenance costs, xControl Electric utilizes direct-to-form heating to achieve over 90% thermal efficiency. This system replaces the mechanical volatility of steam with precise, localized heat control, allowing for predictable strength gain and a drastically reduced carbon footprint. By integrating real-time sensor data with automated heater input, xControl Electric provides a cleaner, more sustainable path to higher throughput and consistent product quality.
