Converge, a leading concrete materials and operations optimization company, and Dewalt, a leader in total job site solutions, announced a strategic partnership to help decarbonize construction through Converge's revolutionary AI-based platform, Concrete DNA, powered by data from Dewalt's new wireless concrete sensor, the Dewalt Signal Sensor. Concrete is one of the most widely used materials in the world, with a global production of more than 10 billion tons per year. However, the production process for concrete is very energy intensive and generates up to 8 percent of all man-made carbon emissions.
ConcreteDNA interprets real-time data from the DEWALT signal sensor that allows users to observe concrete's compressive strength gain and predict when it will reach critical strength through advanced AI and local weather data. This allows concrete professionals to get to work earlier, as users can measure the pavement directly rather than rely on estimation, and additionally adjust the exact amount of cement needed in the mixture, which helps reduce unnecessary carbon emissions.
With deep insight into the strength of the material, lower embodied carbon concrete mixtures can be produced without compromising performance or safety to meet job site deadlines.
