The key for sustainable production is automation and digitalization

Byggelement concluded that these precast products can only be produced fully automated and with a software solution that optimizes the process as productivity goes down due to the longer curing time of the new binders. According to Carl and Tobias they were discussing with various suppliers to find a solution. The aim was to get a high level of automation and a higher level of alternative binders. The best answers as well as the most personal relationship they got from Progress Group.
