A new partnership will combine Fuller Technologies’ ECS/ProcessExpert (PXP) advanced process-control system with Imubit’s AI-based soft sensor technology to address one of the cement industry’s biggest challenges: the “blind spots” in real-time process data created by delayed laboratory results and the harsh operating conditions that limit physical sensor placement.
“This partnership represents a significant evolution in how we deliver value to our customers. By combining our deep cement process expertise and trusted PXP platform with soft sensors based on Imubit’s cutting-edge AI capabilities, we’re providing an integrated solution that addresses the industry’s most pressing operational challenges,” said Anders Noe Dam, head of global product management, automation technologies, Fuller Technologies. “Furthermore, as market demand for AI-driven optimization continues to grow, this partnership provides an exciting foundation on which to explore additional AI applications across the cement production process.”
The collaboration will focus on the deployment of three key parameters: free lime content, Blaine fineness, and kiln inlet oxygen levels. By providing real-time predictions of these parameters, Imubit’s AI-based soft sensor technology will enable PXP to operate with unprecedented precision, empowering cement plants to achieve greater quality consistency, improved energy efficiency, and enhanced sustainability outcomes.
Fuller will serve as the primary customer interface, managing sales, deployment, service and support for the combined solution. The offering is available for all new PXP installations, and plants already operating on the latest version of PXP software can seamlessly upgrade to access these advanced capabilities.
