Innovation is the lifeblood of Danish manufacturing technology company FLSmidth, which relies on globally dispersed teams serving customers in the mining and cement industries around the world. With its digital transformation, FLSmidth found the perfect vehicle for optimizing the engineering simulation platforms that depend on high-performance computing. 

 

 

The company adopted the UberCloud Engineering Simulation Platform, based on AMD powered Microsoft Azure, and optimized for leading engineering applications. UberCloud, AMD, and Microsoft collaborated with a team of FLSmidth engineers, bringing the performance and collaboration gains they need for continuing success.

 

As the world is increasingly committed to sustainable development to drive growth and prosperity, the mining and cement industries are a vital part of the green energy transition. Mining provides the minerals and metals needed for growth and innovation, while cement is a key ingredient of society’s infrastructure. But while they are key to the future, the two industries combined generate 10-12% of global CO2 emissions, currently making them the third-largest emitting source. Increasingly, mining and cement companies are looking to future-proof their operations, not only by reducing emissions, energy consumption and water waste, but also by ensuring they meet their ethical obligations.
