A1
Raw & feed
Quarry blending and raw-meal proportioning: LSF, silica / alumina ratios, and raw-mill fineness for a stable kiln feed.
Explore →Senses its stage
Soft-sensors and vision give each agent a live picture of its process.
Agents
Seven agents. One autonomous plant.
Each Clinkum agent owns a stage of cement and concrete production, perceiving it, simulating it in the twin, and controlling it. Together they run the line from the quarry face to the finished pour.
Every stage, an agent.
Explore each agent, or see how they coordinate through the shared digital twin.
A2
Kiln & pyro
Runs the pyroprocess: preheater, calciner, feed, fuel, oxygen, burning-zone temperature and flame, forming the target clinker phases.
Explore →A3
Clinker quality
Senses and predicts free lime, alite / belite phases, litre weight, and defects, before the lab ever samples.
Explore →A4
Grind & blend
Controls finish grinding: Blaine fineness, gypsum / SCM blending, and cement-type spec.
Explore →A5
Concrete & batch
Optimizes ready-mix / precast batching: water-cement ratio, admixtures, slump, and strength prediction.
Explore →A6
Robot & inspection
Robotic sampling, drone kiln-shell and refractory inspection, and packing / palletizing.
Explore →A7
Energy & emissions
Optimizes thermal / electrical energy, alternative-fuel rate, and CO₂ / NOx / SOx.
Explore →DT
Digital twin
Simulates the pyroprocess, clinker chemistry, and concrete strength. Hit spec before the burn and the pour.
Explore →Not a dashboard. A worker.
Tests before acting
Every candidate move runs through the digital twin first.
Writes setpoints
Bounded, traceable control back to the DCS / APC.
Works with the others
Agents feed forward and back so the whole line stays in spec.
Shared spine
Coordinated by one digital twin.
The agents aren't siloed controllers. They share a calibrated twin of your plant, so a raw-mix change is understood all the way through to concrete strength.
- Feed-forward from raw-mix to the kiln.
- Quality error streamed to the burning zone.
- Energy and emissions solved jointly with the kiln.
Raw → Kilnfeed-forward
Quality → Kilntarget error
Energy ↔ Kilnjoint
Kiln → Concretestrength
The same loop, everywhere.
Perceive
Fuse sensors and vision into a live estimate of the stage.
Simulate
Test candidate moves in the twin against spec.
Act
Write bounded setpoints with a full trace.
Coordinate
Feed forward and back so the whole line holds.
What the agents move together
“It's not seven dashboards. It's seven operators that never get tired and never disagree with each other.”

About the agents
No. Start with one, usually the kiln or clinker-quality agent, and add the rest as you expand.
Through the shared digital twin. They feed information forward and backward so the whole line stays in spec, not just one stage.
The twin arbitrates. Agents optimize their stage within shared constraints, so conflicts are resolved against the plant-wide model.
