The digital concrete block – how data is changing the
curing process

One thing is for sure: The amount of data generated in the manufacture of concrete products will not decline. Quite on the contrary, the process of digitization is in full swing in the production of concrete blocks and pavers, too. More and more sensors used in the curing process deliver increasingly accurate data pertaining to temperature, humidity, product positioning, voltage, frequencies, and cycle times.

In most cases, state-of-the-art sensor technology makes it relatively easy to generate data. Yet the sheer amount of data often obstructs the view of the key levers relevant to the...
