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

🔥 Meet the alcemy team As a growing company, our teams are in a constant flow of change with new members onboarding all around the year. Some have been at alcemy for quite a while, and some joined alcemy’s mission basically from the start. One of those early team members we would like to introduce to you is our principal product manager David Müßig, who has alcemy’s mission running in his veins for quite some years. After graduating from Freie Universität Berlin with his Masters degree in Mathematics, David worked in the field of supply planning at FlixBus. Here he found a passion for product management and paved his way into the cement and concrete world, as his colleague at FlixBus, our Co-Founder Robert Meyer, sparked his interest to join alcemy. Driven by his motivation to create a livable future for his two daughters, it was a perfect match to combine his passion for developing enjoyable digital solutions with alcemy’s mission to decarbonize the cement and concrete industry. Being a DIY enthusiast, David's practical mindset benefits his professional life, where he enjoys working closely with our customers all over Europe to find solutions for our concrete product. Working at alcemy offers the possibility to shape his job and adapt to the new reality of work, including home office and flexible working hours. At the same time, we can combat climate change by reducing CO2 emissions and ensure a better future for our planet. Being able to combine your passion and convictions with a work you like is a desire David managed to fulfill, and we are proud to have him as our passionate product manager on the team. 👉🏼 Interested in using your talents to make a change in the cement and concrete world?
