Germany: ABB and alcemy have signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to develop AI solutions for cement and concrete quality optimisation. The partnership will integrate alcemy’s predictive technology with ABB’s automation and process control systems to improve production efficiency, reduce variability and lower CO₂ emissions. The system will analyse process data and feed adjustments back into plant operations to improve performance. ABB said that the closed-loop approach will reduce process variability and refine product consistency, ‘closing the gap’ between data and process optimisation.
Global manager for cement at ABB’s Process Industries division Bodil Recke said “Artificial intelligence is becoming an important enabler for the future of cement production. Bringing together ABB’s expertise in automation, process control and optimisation with alcemy’s AI and industry expertise, we aim to help cement producers improve performance while supporting their decarbonisation targets.”
alcemy CEO Leopold Spenner said “Working with ABB allows us to bring predictive quality insights closer to plant operations. Together, we want to help the cement industry achieve more consistent results – improving efficiency while reducing environmental impact.”
