Digital Forward is our new global program designed to leverage digital technologies to evolve business processes, provide a superior customer experience, and increase business value for Cemex.
After talking about how we will enable a digital-first commercial experience, we now present the second process of the Digital Forward Value Creation Model: Digitalising our Operations.
This journey towards digitalisation has been characterised by continuous experimentation and learning.
Today, the operations stand at a pivotal moment where they are ready to take a bold step forward in transforming our production plant operations.
Our goal is to leverage cutting-edge technologies to enhance efficiency, productivity, and sustainability across our operations.
This strategic imperative is not just a technological upgrade but a necessary evolution that will shape our future competitiveness. One of main examples is the usage of Digital Twins, a new technology that we use to create virtual representations of physical thing, person, or process. Check out the video HERE.
We focus on the SmartOps Program which will lead to this change, showing how things can be done faster and smarter leveraging data. We have already proven a positive impact is possible with better performance, lower costs, higher quality, and less environmental impact.
We are doing this being agile and thinking of scalability, which means our digital plan continuously grows as our business needs change. We will use cloud computing, microservices, and modular design to make a stronger IT landscape that supports everything we do in our production plants.
Data will be the key to our strategy.
Through powerful analytics and machine learning, data helps us turn information into action. We will soon make smarter data-driven decisions at every step of the production process, making our operations better and always looking for ways to improve.
We have advanced well in our Artificial Intelligence (AI) Process Optimisation journey, mainly in the kiln and milling processes. We have used quality instruments and real-time data to reduce our CO2 emissions, in line with our Future in Action objectives.
As we continue implementing these strategies, Digital Forward will propel us into a new era of efficiency, innovation, and sustainability.
By embracing digitalisation as a transformative journey we redefine how our organisation operates and thrives in the modern world. Remember, digital transformation is a collective effort, and every contribution counts towards achieving the strategic goals.
