Using prescriptive artificial intelligence, Converge, a world-leading construction technology company, has released Mix AITM, a new tool that uses a predictive algorithm in order to assist contractors in reducing concrete overdesign and embodied carbon emissions, promoting low-carbon construction practices.
Mix AITM complements ConcreteDNA®, Converge's AI-based concrete monitoring and data management platform. As part of the solution, Mix AITM analyzes concrete data to offer AI-based forecasts of concrete strength, temperature, and carbon footprint, taking historical and future environmental conditions into account.
In the building materials sector, there is an unprecedented opportunity for using artificial intelligence to accelerate the decarbonization of one of the hardest-to-decarbonize sectors in the economy. AI's impact on climate & carbon was a key discussion topic at the UN SDG summit earlier this year, and a potential solution to many of the challenges we are currently facing as COP28 approaches. Raphael Scheps, co-founder of Converge and CEO of the company, explained that through Mix AITM, Converge uses cutting-edge AI techniques to deliver a real-world, highly-scalable digital solution aimed at decarbonizing the concrete sector.

Mix AITM allows contractors to choose concrete mixes that contain less cement, thus meeting performance specs while reducing embodied carbon emissions at the same time and reducing global carbon dioxide emissions. The cement, which is essential for concrete's strength, accounts for about 8% of global carbon dioxide emissions.
The collaboration between Converge and Stanley Black & Decker in North America enables Mix AITM to be amplified even further. A statement by Brad Roberts, President of Construction Technology at Stanley Black & Decker, was that "Mix AITM will enable our customers to select carbon-efficient mixes and deliver concrete programs on schedule and in excellent quality." "It's a win for our customers, it's a win for us, and it's a win for the environment."
It is believed that in 2022, Converge will raise a £5M Series A round, led by Climate Investment, to accelerate its carbon footprint. Mike Bishop, Investment Director, Climate Investment, and Converge Board Member, said that Mix AITM will transform concrete. It balances construction demands with sustainability efforts, offering an innovative solution to address embodied carbon while simultaneously reducing costs and accelerating project timelines."
By using artificial intelligence, Converge's strategic partnerships span Europe, Asia and North America, and it promises to turbocharge the decarbonisation process in the construction industry.
