en.Wedoany.com Reported - Swiss ABB and German industrial decarbonization company Alcemy have signed a memorandum of understanding to jointly develop an artificial intelligence solution for cement and concrete quality assessment. The collaboration combines ABB's expertise in automation and process control with Alcemy's predictive technology, aiming to optimize global cement production processes and reduce emissions.
The core of this partnership is integrating predictive quality insights into plant operations. Alcemy's solution extracts process and quality data from the ABB Knowledge Manager system, analyzes it through machine learning models, and feeds setpoints back to the ABB Ability Expert Optimizer system. This closed-loop approach aims to improve product consistency, enhance overall plant performance, and help operators better manage production process fluctuations.
By enabling more precise control over production parameters, this collaboration is expected to improve the efficiency of raw materials and energy usage while reducing process variability. By combining industry expertise with emerging technologies, both parties hope to bridge the gap between data and process optimization.
Bodil Recke, Global Head of Cement Business at ABB Process Industries, stated that artificial intelligence is increasingly becoming a key driver for future cement production. By integrating ABB's expertise in automation, process control, and optimization with Alcemy's AI technology and industry experience, the company aims to help cement producers enhance production performance while achieving decarbonization goals.
Leopold Spenner, Co-founder and CEO of Alcemy, said that the collaboration with ABB enables closer integration of predictive quality insights into plant operations. Through this partnership, both parties hope to help the cement industry achieve more stable production levels, improving efficiency while reducing environmental impact.
As part of the collaboration, ABB and Alcemy are establishing a framework to explore synergies at both the technical and commercial levels, including developing joint value propositions for cement and ready-mix concrete users.
