OTTAWA, ON / ACCESSWIRE / September 28, 2023 / Giatec, a leading innovator in sustainable concrete testing solutions, launches SmartMix” into commercialization at NRMCA’s ConcreteWorks 2023. Smartmix is an AI-driven platform that empowers ready-mix concrete producers to analyze data points across their operations efficiently, optimizing mixes for cost and CO2 emissions.
Concrete production and cement usage account for approximately two billion tons of Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions or eight percent of global CO2 pollution with a global production rate of 20 billion tons (10 billion cubic yards) annually. The industry has been accustomed to working with limited visibility through outdated systems, unconnected data, and insufficient time for analysis to make informed decisions resulting in unoptimized and overdesigned mix designs, both in cost and environmental impact.
SmartMix seamlessly integrates within ready-mix producers’ software operations, and with Giatec’s proprietary AI algorithm used to amalgamate data across thousands of mixes, gives insight into the greatest opportunities for optimization. Concrete producers can then generate infinite scenarios for every project variability to choose the right mix every time for their business. This will allow for a reduction in both CO2 emissions and mix costs by up to 20 percent while tackling the industry-wide issue of overdesigning with cement just to prevent potential performance issues.
