Features

From old spreadsheets to AI-powered optimization.

An example. A concrete producer wants a C35/45 mix design with less embodied CO2 and as much strength as that allows.

Data

Start from your data, as it comes

Alfraido uses AI to extract and structure data from your spreadsheets and reports. It then uses it to build a private Machine Learning model, just for you and your team.

Optimization

Find improvement

Alfraido explores all possible mix designs, and uses your private Machine Learning model to find the ones that are most likely to achieve your objectives.

Predict

Check mix designs before batching

Outcomes of mix designs can be predicted before batching. Each prediction comes with a 95% confidence interval, so you know when predictions are reliable and when more data is needed.

Project Management

Hand out the trials

Alfraido offers a collaborative workflow, where mix designs become tasks for the team. You can then track workload and lab hours of your projects.

Quality Control

Hold the result in production

T-51 becomes a product with its specification and bill of materials. Each batch is inspected against it, so a drift shows up in the data the model learns from.
