Product: alcemy for concrete
The challenge
The challenge
The demand for recycled and clinker-efficient concretes is clear and only growing. For ready-mix concrete plants, these more sustainable products lead directly to more work, as significantly more manual quality control is required to keep these tricky low-CO2 concretes in check. Today's production has been saved by the intuition and many years of experience of skilled employees, a group that is quickly shrinking. The challenging concretes of the future will require closer and more precise quality monitoring throughout the production process, which cannot rely on experience alone.
Our solution
Our ready-mix concrete software continuously forecasts the relevant quality parameters during production in real time. For this purpose, existing data from the mixing plant (dosing events, concrete temperature and active power curve in full resolution) is combined with sensor data from the delivery truck drum. With the help of this information, current data on the actual state of the concrete from plant to construction site is displayed transparently and clearly to the personnel in the plant and if desired shared via QR code.

Hear from our Customers
“Rolling out alcemy for concrete across all 35 of our RMX plants and all of our concrete trucks in Portugal is a decisive step in our digital transformation and decarbonization journey. Implementing alcemy improved team effectiveness, communication & motivation, resulted in 20% more accurate on-slump-target batching, and reduced unwanted on-site water additions. These advancements allowed us to reduce cement content by 5kg/cbm across mix designs, resulting in measurable cost savings per cubic meter. This rollout positions us to tackle skilled labor shortages in the decades to come while significantly reducing clinker factors on our path to net zero. More importantly, it increases our overall sustainability and level of service to our customers.”
Ricardo Carvalho
Chief Digital Officer
“Sustainability and performance are part of daily business for Max Bögl. We are very proud to work towards these goals collaboratively and to successively roll out this predictive quality control software across our ready-mix concrete plants."
Siemon Piotrowksi
Project & Quality Lead
"Wir schätzen es, dass wir mit alcemy beides erreichen können: uns in einem Marktumfeld behaupten, das mehr Flexibilität und Präzision erfordert, und gleichzeitig kosteneffizienter und ressourcenschonender arbeiten – zum Vorteil aller Beteiligten.“
Katrin Knöpke
Managing Director
“The introduction of alcemy in our concrete plants and truck mixers is a clear sign that we are facing the challenges of the future, placing ecologically and economically sustainable solutions at the heart of our actions. With this technology, we can not only further improve the quality of our products but also make a significant contribution to environmental protection. We are proud to have successfully integrated this innovative solution into our processes and look forward to continuing to be pioneers in the field of environmentally friendly and efficient construction in the future. With alcemy, we are jointly moving towards a sustainable future – for our customers, for ourselves, and for the environment."
Riad Jabri
Managing Director
"After more than two years of successful collaboration in two regional groups, we are now implementing alcemy in more than 27 ready-mix concrete plants of Spenner Herkules. alcemy’s ready-mix concrete product has become an indispensable tool for us – enabling our employees across Germany to produce the most cost-efficient, reliable, and sustainable concretes in real time. As alcemy’s first pilot customer, it is impressive to see the progress made over the past years and how this technology is already making a tangible impact in overcoming the challenges of concrete production in no time.”
