The problem

Why Clinvue exists.

Most plants run blind on live clinker quality. Free lime, alite and belite phases, and litre weight come from hourly lab samples, so operators correct the burn an hour late, after off-spec clinker is already made. The number that matters most, 28-day concrete strength, is a month away.

What it does

How it works.

Clinvue predicts quality as it happens. It fuses online XRF/XRD chemistry, burning-zone pyrometry, clinker-texture vision, and kiln telemetry to call free lime, phases, litre weight, defects, and 28-day strength in minutes instead of hours. Every prediction is grounded with citations to the source spectra and the spec it is checked against, EN 197 and ASTM C150.

What Clinvue does on the line.

Six capabilities, all sharing Clinkum's plant-edge platform, cement models, and audit trail.

01

Quality, live

Free lime, phase, and litre-weight prediction at sub-second cadence.

02

Strength, a month early

28-day strength predicted from clinker, grinding, and mix signals.

03

Clinker vision

Over-burnt, dusty, and coating defects caught by texture models.

04

Sensor fusion

Analyzer chemistry, pyrometry, and telemetry read as one signal.

05

Grounded alerts

Spec-aware warnings with citations back to the source data.

06

Trustworthy

Golden-dataset evaluation and drift monitoring on every model.

Where it fits

One product in a closed loop.

Clinvue is the perception layer the rest of Clinkum runs on. It feeds Pyron and Cemtwin, informs Carbex's energy trade-offs and Pourix's strength targets, and takes in Refron's robotic samples.

Runs on: Jetson Orin plus L4/L40S at the edge, DGX for cross-site training.

Built for

Who uses it.

Quality and process labs, QA managers, and process engineers at integrated and grinding plants, plus groups standardizing quality across sites.
