Decarbonising construction using AI and concrete sensors

Converge, a specialist in building AI and cloud-based technologies for the construction industry, and DEWALT, a global leader in the tools sector, have announced a strategic partnership to help decarbonise construction through Converge's revolutionary AI-based platform, ConcreteDNA, powered by data from DEWALT's new wireless concrete sensor, the DEWALT Signal Sensor.

ConcreteDNA interprets real-time data from the DEWALT Signal Sensor allowing users to observe compressive strength gain of concrete, and to predict when it will reach critical strength through advanced AI and local weather data. 

This allows concrete professionals to begin work sooner as users can directly measure hardening rather than relying on estimation. They can also tailor the exact amount of cement needed in the mixture which helps reduce unnecessary carbon emissions. 

“We are thrilled to be partnering with global tools leader DEWALT to tackle one of the biggest challenges facing the construction industry and indeed the planet today," said Converge CEO, Raphael Scheps. "By working together, we believe we can bring a suite of innovative solutions to North America that allow contractors to build up to 30 per cent faster, and drive concrete decarbonisation to build the future more efficiently, safely, and sustainably."
