Under a new agreement with Optimitive S.L., thyssenkrupp Polysius unit Grey Build will offer the AI-powered Optibat plant equipment optimization technology to North American cement producers.
Spain-based Optimitive has modeled its real-time platform to yield higher energy efficiency, increased throughput, and measurable emissions reductions – all without cement users compromising safety or quality. By combining their respective optimization expertise and extensive process know-how, Optimitive and Grey Build are positioned to deliver scalable, data-driven solutions that support cement industry decarbonization and competitiveness.
“A plant’s long-term performance is shaped by the decisions made well before it begins operating. Our role is to bring the right expertise together, facilitate those decisions with a clear understanding of their operational implications, and carry them through execution,” said Grey Build Global Head Olivier Terver. “Working with Optimitive adds another tool to this approach, enabling our customers to ramp up the performance of their investment faster and reach sustained results quickly.”
“This agreement reinforces our strategy of building alliances with integrators and manufacturers in the sector,” added Optimitive CEO Fernando de la Prida. “Our technology complements the strong global presence of Grey Build and thyssenkrupp Polysius, creating significant value for companies pursuing both productivity and sustainability goals.”
New cement producers that Grey Build brings aboard will join an Optibat user base that includes various operations of Cemex S.A.B. de C.V. and Titan Group, both of whom back Optimitive through their venture capital units.
