Equipment Leader Aided New Concrete Maturity Data Delivery Approach

As the CEO of PASCHAL, a Danish construction equipment supplier, Jacob Christensen asked a tech company to develop a tool it could use to monitor the concrete pressure inside of formwork it rents out.

That gave the tech company, Sensohive, the idea of trading its work on the pressure-monitoring tool in exchange for Christensen’s help creating a system to monitor the internal temperature of curing concrete. It then leveraged the emerging capabilities of the internet of things to continually report the data in real time, delivering concrete maturity monitoring over the internet, anywhere.

The resulting product, called Maturix, attracted the interest of a Canadian admixture company, Kryton International, which bought a 30% share in Sensohive in September to bring it to North America, which it plans to do this spring.
