The World Cement Association (WCA) welcomed alcemy as its newest Associate Corporate Member, strengthening the Association’s growing network of technology leaders driving efficiency and sustainability across the cement and concrete industry.
alcemy is at the forefront of applying artificial intelligence to one of the sector’s core challenges: ensuring consistent product quality while reducing clinker content. In an industry where variability in raw materials and production processes is unavoidable, traditional reactive quality control often leads producers to rely on conservative, high-clinker safety margins. alcemy addresses this by enabling a shift to predictive, data-driven decision-making.
Its predictive quality management platform integrates with existing plant infrastructure to analyse real-time process and laboratory data, forecasting key material properties such as early and late strength. This allows operators to make precise adjustments during production, improving process stability, enhancing consistency, and enabling confident clinker reduction without compromising performance.
Already implemented in more than 40 cement plants and 160 concrete plants across 17 countries, alcemy’s technology is supporting leading producers in achieving tighter process control, more efficient resource use, and measurable economic benefits.
“We are delighted to welcome alcemy to the WCA. As digitalisation and AI continue to reshape the industry, alcemy’s predictive approach to quality control represents a significant step forward in enabling producers to optimise performance while supporting decarbonisation efforts,” said Philippe Richart, CEO of WCA.
“Joining the World Cement Association provides an important platform for collaboration and knowledge exchange. We look forward to working with industry peers to accelerate the adoption of AI-driven solutions that enhance efficiency, improve quality, and support the transition to lower-carbon cement and concrete production,” said Leopold Spenner, CEO of alcemy.
