alcemy

Yesterday we held our first webinar of our “alcemy academy” on the topic of “clinker-efficient cements". This webinar series is a platform for knowledge transfer, as there are a lot of important innovations and developments happening in the industry at the moment. Highlighting these activities of our customers and partners, who are the true #decarbonizationheroes, is the goal of the alcemy academy. Over 100 participants joined yesterday - most of them were people working at cement and ready-mix concrete producers from all over Europe, Latin America, the Middle East and the US. Our four speakers Leopold Spenner, Oliver Mazanec, Thomas Schuster and Dr. Sebastian Palm gave insights into the testing procedure of “CEM X”, the strategic focus of the German cement manufacturer Spenner regarding clinker efficiency, the importance of concrete admixtures and the potential of predictive quality control in cement and concrete plants. Many thanks to all of you. We look forward to further exchanges.

🤝🏼 Now Official - Titan Automates Fineness Steering with alcemy We are pleased to announce our partnership with Titan America in Pennsuco, Miami, following the successful implementation of our software earlier in 2023. While we are all very satisfied with the results achieved so far, what is particularly noteworthy about this partnership is that Titan was one of our first clients to immediately switch to a closed-loop automation system. This means our fineness recommendations go directly into the expert system of Titan’s cement mills and set the mills to the optimal fineness automatically at all times. A true Greek #decarbonizationhero and active across at least three continents, Titan operates a network of 14 integrated cement plants and numerous concrete plants. We look forward to many more years of collaboration with the team led by Antonios Kyrkos, OTHON MANIS, Manolis Haniotakis, Cynthia Roberts, Eric Koehler, and others, as we expand our shared mission beyond the US.

alcemy x TU Berlin | Nachhaltigkeit und KI im Bauwesen Am Mittwoch waren unsere Kollegen David N., Ursula Pott und Marieke Voigt zu Besuch in der Technischen Universität Berlin, um gemeinsam mit Studierenden tiefer in das Thema „Nachhaltigkeit im Bauwesen mit KI gestalten” einzutauchen. Die Bauindustrie steht vor der Herausforderung klimafreundlicher zu werden. Ein großer Augenmerk liegt insbesondere auf den Beton, der auch weiterhin ein unersetzlicher und einzigartiger Baustoff bleibt. Die Zement- und Betonindustrie hat bereits große Meilensteine bei der Dekarbonisierung geschafft. Unsere Mission bei alcemy ist es, die Hersteller bestmöglichst bei der Umsetzung zu unterstützen. Die alcemy Teammitglieder haben in ihrem Vortrag in dem Zusammenhang vorgestellt, wie unsere prädiktive Qualitätssteuerung den Herstellern effektiv bei der Produktion klinkereffizienter Zemente und Betone helfen kann. Im Anschluss gab es in der Podiumsdiskussion einen anregenden Austausch, in dem es unter anderem um die Rolle von Change Management ging, aber auch wie man als Geophysikerin in einem KI-Startup landet und was man als Bauingenieur in einer Softwarefirma so macht. Wir möchten uns bei Dr. Christoph Völker für seinen Vortrag über iteratec, sowie bei Sabine Kruschwitz, Dietmar Stephan und allen Studierenden für dieses gelungene Format bedanken.

🌱Our Cement and Concrete Customers - The Real Heroes of the #Decarbonization Last week, we announced our successful funding round of over 10 million dollars. As a team, we were delighted and motivated to receive so many congratulations. Thank you all. Another highlight: the major German business newspaper Handelsblatt devoted significant print and online attention to us and our activities in the cement and concrete industry. In the hustle and bustle of all the attention, both nationally and internationally, we want to pause for a moment and set the focus on one crucial thing: without our customers, this milestone would not be possible at all. Of course, we provide an important software solution, but ultimately, our cement and ready-mix concrete customers are working on decarbonization every day. They are reducing the clinker factor, researching new recipes, developing new green technologies, and driving the topic forward at an incredible pace. They are the real #decarbonizationheroes of this story - this hugely important industry that produces the most essential building material of humankind and the foundation of our civilization. The entire alcemy team, along with Leopold Spenner and Robert Meyer, would like to thank all our amazing customers who believe in us and work together with us in partnership. We will invest the 10 million dollars to further optimize our products and create even more additional value. 👉🏻 Click here for the article: https://lnkd.in/env_QGSa

🎉 It's #AssociateMemberMonday! PCA Associate Member alcemy is hosting a webinar July 22 at 8 CDT on one of the key considerations for decarbonizing the cement and concrete industry – the clinker factor. Many manufacturers have already launched new clinker-efficient cements, such as German producer Spenner. Spenner recently received national technical approval for a new portland-limestone slag cement (project title: CEM X) that offers clinker content of only 30%, alongside 33% blast furnace slag, and a substantial 37% limestone filler. The webinar will take an in-depth look at numerous questions relating to clinker efficiency: How did the approval process work, and what were the necessary steps in Germany? Why did Spenner decide to develop a CEM X? What can we learn about the production of concretes with w/c-ratios around 0.40?

💡 Innovation braucht Partnerschaft: Nachhaltiger Beton x EDGE Friedrichspark Partnerschaften und Netzwerke zu bilden, sind beim Thema Nachhaltigkeit enorm wichtig. Um neue Innovationen in die Praxis zu bringen, braucht es den Pioniergeist und das Commitment aller Beteiligten - alle müssen an Bord sein, alle müssen am gleichen Strang ziehen. Ein solche einzigartige Partnerschaft ist uns beim Edge Friedrichspark gelungen. Dort hatten wir gestern in einem tollen Pressegespräch und einer anschließenden Begehung die Möglichkeit das Projekt und den Einsatz eines radikal klinkerreduzierten Betons (CEM X) der Öffentlichkeit zu präsentieren. Mittlerweile ist schon eine signifikante Betonmenge eingebaut worden. Insgesamt werden es am Ende ca. 12.000 m3 CEM X sein - ein absolutes Novum und eine wirklich beeindruckende Leistung. Wir von alcemy verstehen uns als Brückenbauer zwischen den Interessen, aber ohne die Bereitschaft der Partner wäre dieses Projekt niemals gestartet. 🙏 Zuallererst sind hier unser Kunden Spenner Herkules GmbH & Co. KG und Spenner Zement GmbH & Co. KG zu nennen. Ihr Fokus auf die Zulassung des CEM X hat diesen Meilenstein erst möglich gemacht. Ihr Offenheit und Motivation haben den Einsatz maßgeblich ermöglicht. Vielen Dank stellvertretend an Martin Franzke, Georg Weber, Thomas Schuster und Team. 🙏 Ein weiterer Dank gilt natürlich EDGE Technologies - ein Projektentwickler, der den Claim "The world needs better buildings" wirklich verinnerlicht hat. Ein Unternehmen, dass direkt Feuer und Flamme für das Projekt und den Einsatz des CEM X war. Danke hier an Dr. Andreas Muschter FRICS, Hans Hanschke, Daniil Pinyagin, Julian Schoeme und Team. 🙏 Natürlich darf in dieser Aufzählung ZÜBLIN als essentieller Partner nicht fehlen. Die Baustelle ist entscheidend für den erfolgreichen Einbau des anspruchsvollen und CO2-reduzierten CEM X - hier bestand von Anfang an die Leidenschaft und auch das Durchhaltevermögen das Thema anzugehen und auch bei Herausforderungen nicht klein beizugeben. Danke Zoltán Szabó, Kristina Sievers und Co. 🙏 Zum Schluss auch noch ein Dank an das tolle Netzwerk solid UNIT e.V. für die Unterstützung und den konsequenten Einsatz für nachhaltige Baustoffe im Massivbau. Danke Thomas Zawalski, Wiebke Zuschlag, Kristine Hebenstreit und Klimabeirat Dr. Tillman Prinz, M.A. Das ist erst der Anfang. Lasst uns alle gemeinsam nachhaltige Betone in die Bauprojekte bringen!
