In this webinar Global Head of Sales Operations at GridBeyond, Manik Lowe, will talk you through how cement companies can combine flexibility services with intelligent Energy Management Systems (EMS) to create more efficient, responsive energy operations. By orchestrating on-site assets in real time and optimising how energy is sourced, stored, and consumed, manufacturers can reduce operational costs, improve resilience, and drive additional value through participation in energy markets.

We're proud to announce the release of a new white paper created by Gigaton, alcemy, and CemAI - Cement Intelligence in collaboration with World Cement. https://bit.ly/4a8p4ir

What the white paper covers:

• Three key prerequisites. Clean, connected data; domain expertise in the right places; and a committed on-site champion – the foundations without which no model adds value.
• Predictive maintenance (CemAI). Cement-specific machine learning that spots equipment issues early, prevents costly unplanned shutdowns, and surfaces process inefficiencies that would otherwise go undetected.
• Plant process optimisation (Gigaton). Maximising thermal substitution rate for increased alternative fuel use, reduced costs and emissions, alongside real-time optimisation for smoother kiln control and higher throughput.
• Predictive quality management (alcemy). Improving quality consistency in order to cut production costs increase throughput and progressively reduce CO2 footprint without sacrificing clinker quality.
• Driving adoption. The soft skills, core messaging, leadership structures, and change management approaches that turn a successful pilot into lasting, plant-wide use.

We're excited to share a new white paper created through a collaboration between Gigaton, alcemy, and CemAI - Cement Intelligence, in partnership with World Cement: https://bit.ly/4a8p4ir

This white paper brings together three tech companies operating across the cement and concrete production value chain to offer a practical, end-to-end guide to getting it right. For any producer to adopt and rollout AI successfully, they need strong foundations for transformation, optimised lab-based process adjustments, advanced pyroprocess control, and predictive maintenance. And all of this underpinned by a clear route to company-wide adoption for long-term value. This white paper compares the current state of play with what AI makes possible, illustrated with real deployments and customer experience.
