Holcim Collaborates with Cloud Cycle for Enhanced Concrete Delivery

Holcim has announced its investment in Cloud Cycle, a UK-based tech firm specializing in real-time, data-driven concrete operations. Founded in 2019, Cloud Cycle uses in-truck sensors, edge computing, and machine learning to improve concrete quality and delivery efficiency. This partnership aims to transition quality monitoring from the plant to the delivery site, minimizing returned concrete and advancing sustainable concrete solutions.

The technology, already installed in over 150 Holcim trucks within the UK, Italy, and Switzerland, will soon be expanded globally. It complements Holcim's AI solutions like Q-Predict, providing comprehensive quality checkpoints and supporting the firm’s decarbonization efforts.

Ram Muthu, Head of Operational Excellence at Holcim, emphasized that each departing truck generates valuable data, enhancing both product quality and customer experience. This collaboration represents a strategic addition to Holcim's growing digital and decarbonization tech portfolio.
