Beyond APC: AI for cement plant optimisation

13 July 2026

While an essential tool for improving stability, efficiency and product quality in cement manufacturing, even the most sophisticated advanced process control systems face limitations when dealing with the complex, non-linear interactions that define modern cement production. As plants contend with increasing operational variability, alternative fuels, tighter environmental targets and growing performance expectations, artificial intelligence is emerging as the next evolution in process optimisation.
