1. Asphalt mixing plant (100), comprising a mixing drum (120) and a temperature monitoring system (200), the temperature monitoring system (200) comprising:
a temperature sensor (210) configured for contactless measurement of a material temperature of an asphalt mix (50) to obtain at least a first temperature value for at least a first point of time, where the temperature sensor (210) is arranged at an area of an output of the mixing drum (120) or at a discharge chute (121) of the mixing drum (120); where the temperature sensor is directed to the ready-mixed material outputted by the mixing drum or the discharge chute of the mixing drum; and
an operation and monitoring unit (230) and a remote server (310); whereby
the operation and monitoring unit (230) is configured to wirelessly transmit the at least first temperature value to the remote server (310) via a wireless communication interface unit (250).
