A1
Raw & feed
Quarry blending and raw-meal proportioning: LSF, silica / alumina ratios, and raw-mill fineness for a stable kiln feed.
Explore →Platform
One platform for the whole plant.
Clinkum is an autonomy platform for cement and concrete production. Seven agents perceive and control each stage of the line, a digital twin grounds every move, and it all runs under your OT security controls.

Kiln availability
Perception and control, stage by stage.
Each agent owns one stage of the line and coordinates with the others through the 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 →The loop
Perceive, simulate, act, every second.
Clinkum closes the loop from sensing to setpoint. Agents perceive the process, test moves in the twin, and write bounded setpoints back to your control system with a full audit trace.
- Perceive with soft-sensors and vision.
- Simulate candidate moves in the twin.
- Act with bounded, traceable setpoints.

The twin
A calibrated model of your line.
The digital twin simulates the pyroprocess, clinker chemistry, and concrete strength, calibrated to your plant. It is the guardrail that makes autonomy safe and explainable.
- First-principles + data, reconciled to your labs.
- What-if simulation before any setpoint.
- Every action linked to the sim that justified it.

Calibrationcurrent
How Clinkum runs at the plant.
Deployment
Plant edge appliance with cloud management; runs locally if the link drops.
Integration
OPC UA / Modbus to DCS, APC, analyzers, CEMS, and historian.
Control
Bounded setpoint writes with per-loop pause and operator hand-back.
Security
Segmented OT deployment, least-privilege, full audit trace.
Data
Your process data stays on your infrastructure by default.
Scale
One kiln to a multi-site fleet under one control plane.
What the platform moves
Start where the ROI is clearest.
LineSingle kiln or mill
One agent on one line to prove a metric fast.
PlantWhole plant
Every agent plus the twin, coordinated across the line.
FleetMulti-site
One control plane, shared models, per-site tuning.
EdgeOn-prem edge
Runs at the plant; cloud for management and fleet.
Rip-and-replace vs. Clinkum
Rip-and-replace automation
- Long, risky control-system swaps
- Vendor lock to one DCS
- Big-bang cutover
- Opaque expert-system rules
- Value proven only at the end
Clinkum overlay
- Overlays your existing DCS / APC
- Integrates via open OPC UA / Modbus
- Shadow-then-close-loop rollout
- Every action explained by the twin
- Value proven in shadow mode first
Platform questions
No. It overlays your existing DCS and APC, integrating via OPC UA / Modbus and writing bounded setpoints. You keep your control system.
The plant edge appliance keeps running autonomy locally; cloud is for management and fleet coordination, not real-time control.
Shadow mode can run within weeks of integration, recommending while operators stay in control, before any loop is closed.
Yes. Most plants start with the kiln or clinker-quality agent on one line and expand from there.
