about the company
With Alcemy's AI software, production quality can be controlled predictively. This increases the consistency of cement and concrete, simplifies the work of the laboratory and control room, and reduces production costs. This sets the stage for a progressive reduction of the CO2 footprint and significantly simplifies the handling of even the most complex mixtures.
