Through thousands of sensors integrated into Titan's plants, huge volumes of operational data (big data) are transmitted, recorded, organised, studied and utilised for the real-time optimisation of production. The Greece-headquartered group says this brings significant benefits such as reduced energy consumption and CO₂ emissions and productivity improvements of up to 10%.
Initially launched as a revolutionary prototype at the Pennsuco cement plant in late 2017, the cutting-edge solutions underscore the group's position as one of the leaders in the design and implementation of digital technologies in cement manufacturing. The fully autonomous solutions are now being introduced across Titan's plants in the USA, Greece, Brazil, and southeast Europe.
Recognising the significant opportunities and benefits that advanced digital technologies can bring to industrial production, Titan will take further steps to enhance its competitiveness through digital transformation. The group says this will boost its manufacturing, supply chain efficiency and customer experiences.
