The investment comes after CEMEX installed PRYSMEX’s technology at all of its Mexican cement plants.
“Through the IoT, PRYSMEX enables a comprehensive analysis of data such as impacts, light and noise levels, locations, temperatures, and the presence of toxic gases, among others,” CEMEX said in a press release.
