Cloud Cycle & HS2: Transforming Cement & its Supply Chain with IoT, Machine Learning & Big Data.

英国水泥行业正面临着越来越大的压力，要求其减少排放，以符合政府目标(2050年净排放量为零)和终端用户寻找低碳混凝土解决方案的要求。此外，整个英国的水泥供不应求，5%的混凝土被浪费在建筑项目上，而Covid19加剧了供应限制。Cloud Cycle的创新旨在通过现场重新分配多余的混凝土，连接到BIM来解决这些问题，以改进设计、采购和质量控制。该项目还将整合LCA/排放报告功能，改善对从水泥生产到最终使用的整个供应链排放的监督。获得这些数据和能力将使英国水泥行业在面对Covid19造成的极端生产挑战时更具可持续性和竞争力。

The UK cement industry is facing increasing pressure to reduce its emissions profile in line with government targets (net zero 2050) and end-users that a looking for 'low-carbon' concrete solutions. Furthermore, there is a shortage of supply versus demand for cement throughout the UK, whereby 5% of concrete goes to waste on construction projects and Covid19 has exacerbated supply constraints.Cloud Cycle's innovation looks to address these issues through redistributing surplus concrete onsite, linking into BIM to allow for improved design, procurement and quality control. This project will also allow for the integration of LCA/emissions reporting functionality, improving oversight of full supply-chain emissions from cement production to end-use. Access to this data and capabilities will make the UK cement industry more sustainable and competitive in the face of extreme production challenges caused by Covid19\.
