en.Wedoany.com Reported - Sika AG, the parent company, has entered into a commercial partnership with Giatec Scientific Inc. of Ottawa, Canada, to integrate Giatec's flagship SmartRock maturity sensors and AI-driven quality control and mix optimization software into Sika's global admixture supply system. This collaboration enables concrete admixture customers to monitor maturity in real-time, optimize cement and aggregate usage, thereby reducing costs and enhancing the sustainability of finished structures.

Giatec specializes in concrete sensors and data analytics, and its AI quality control technology can adjust mix designs based on field data. Ivo Schädler, Head of the Sika Construction Division, stated that this agreement builds upon Sika's strategic investment in Giatec. By combining Giatec's advanced technology with Sika's material expertise, it creates measurable new opportunities for customers in terms of efficiency, quality, and sustainability, while increasing the added value brought by digital innovation.

Following the implementation of the partnership, Sika's global customers will have direct access to SmartRock sensors and supporting software, enabling real-time monitoring and data analysis of the hydration process, precise control of construction progress, and reduction of material waste. Sika's admixture network will simultaneously cover this technological solution, allowing projects in different regions to apply AI mix optimization.

This integration embeds AI tools into the traditional admixture application chain. Customers can obtain immediate data feedback during the material selection and mix design phases, using a scientific approach to reduce cement consumption and carbon emissions. For Sika, the product portfolio extends to digital construction solutions; for Giatec, leveraging Sika's sales channels allows its technology to reach a broader engineering market.
