POSCO E&C ensures consistent concrete quality with AI

POSCO E&C said Tuesday it has developed an artificial intelligence (AI) system that predicts the quality of ready-mix concrete and automates its production, ensuring consistency in product quality. Construction firms have long struggled to maintain consistent concrete quality, due to factors such as operator skill, material characteristics and ambient temperature. To tackle the issue, the construction arm of POSCO Group partnered with SHLab, a technology firm specializing in ready-mix concrete automation, to create a system that enables real-time monitoring and automatic quality adjustments. According to POSCO E&C, the new AI analyzes video footage of concrete during mixing to assess the its condition and automatically adjusts the mix ratio in line with the Korean Industrial Standards. The system can also predict compressive strength in advance by analyzing mixing conditions and batching data, helping reduce the uncertainty that typically requires a 28-day wait after casting. In addition, it detects residual water inside mixer trucks to maintain the concrete’s strength. “Ready-mix conWeiter zum vollständigen Artikel bei Korea Times Weiter zum vollständigen Artikel bei Korea Times
