  • Digitalization

Heavily dependent on the fluctuating construction industry, operating with legacy equipment and siloed operations, cement companies often lack a unified vision for digital investments. And for risk averse cement companies, each investment made must deliver significant results that counteract the impact of cyclical demand.

Despite difficulty integrating, cement leaders recognize the need for innovative solutions that can help improve plant utilization, optimize processes, reduce energy consumption – and facilitate compliance with C02 and other emissions mandates.

We explored senior management perspectives about digital transformation and IIoT initiatives at their companies. This research provided an in-depth look at key outcomes companies expect from digital investments, progress made, potential roadblocks – and a path forward.


Unlocking Potential: The Connected Cement Plant

When prioritizing digital transformation outcomes, operational efficiency tops the list of both short-term and long-term goals. This has become more critical now as the industry faces a traditional cyclical market – exacerbated by the impact of COVID-19. Both capital and energy intensive, the cement industry must improve the efficiency of existing assets to bolster profitability.
