Solutions

Autonomy for every part of the chain.

From integrated plants to grinding stations, ready-mix, and precast, Clinkum meets each operation where its value is clearest, and scales across building-materials groups.

Where Clinkum fits.

IntegratedIntegrated plants

Quarry, raw-mill, kiln, grinding, run as one autonomous line.

GrindingGrinding stations

Finish grinding and blending to spec at minimum specific power.

Ready-mixReady-mix

Batching optimized for strength, slump, and binder cost.

PrecastPrecast

Consistent strength and cure across every element.

GroupMaterials groups

A fleet of plants under one control plane, tuned per site.

QuarryQuarrying

Blending and pre-homogenization for a stable kiln feed.

Integrated plants

Run the whole line as one system.

For integrated producers, the biggest wins are in the pyroprocess: hold the burning zone, cut free lime, push alt-fuel, and lower energy and CO₂, with the raw and grinding agents stabilizing either side.

  • Raw-mix stability feeds a steady kiln.
  • Autonomous burning-zone control.
  • Grinding to spec at minimum power.

Grinding stations

Cement to spec, at the lowest kWh.

For grinding stations, finish milling is the dominant cost. The grind & blend agent trims the over-grinding safety margin and optimizes SCM substitution at constant strength.

  • Blaine and strength held tight.
  • SCM and gypsum optimized per batch.
  • Minimum specific power at constant quality.

Ready-mix & precast

Every pour on strength and slump.

For ready-mix and precast, the concrete agent predicts 28-day strength at the batch, trims cement over-design, and holds slump, cutting cost and rejected loads without risking a failure.

  • 28-day strength predicted per batch.
  • Cement over-design trimmed safely.
  • Fewer rejected and re-tempered loads.

Horizontal dashboard vs. vertical autonomy

Generic industrial dashboard

  • Shows charts, decides nothing
  • Knows nothing about clinker
  • One-size-fits-all rules
  • No feedback to the process
  • Value stalls after install

Clinkum, built for cement

  • Acts on the process, not just shows
  • Models clinker chemistry and strength
  • Tuned per operation and per site
  • Closed-loop to the DCS / APC
  • Value proven and expanded

Solution questions

Yes. The grind & blend agent alone can pay for itself on power savings and SCM optimization at a grinding station.

Yes. Multi-site groups run one control plane with shared models and per-site tuning, expanding plant by plant.

Wherever the ROI is clearest, usually the kiln for integrated plants, grinding for stations, and batching for ready-mix.
