Giatec, a leader in digital concrete technology, announced three new advancements to its SmartMix platform at its 3rd annual Concrete Tech Summit. The innovations include an industry-first AI-powered MCP Connector that provides natural language access to production data, Smart Analytics that puts on-demand business intelligence in users' hands, and Single Sign-On to streamline platform access. These releases reflect Giatec's commitment to building an open, intelligent, and accessible concrete data platform to empower forward-thinking producers.

Why it matters

Concrete producers have long struggled to turn their wealth of data into actionable insights. Giatec's new SmartMix features aim to break down those barriers, giving concrete professionals immediate access to their own data through AI assistants and self-service analytics. This represents a fundamental shift in how the industry can leverage technology to drive innovation, efficiency, and performance.

The details

The MCP Connector is a first-of-its-kind integration for the concrete industry, built on the emerging Model Context Protocol (MCP) standard. It enables users to query and action on mix designs, batch records, and quality control data through natural language interactions with AI chatbots like ChatGPT and Claude. The new Smart Analytics feature also empowers users to build custom reports and dashboards in minutes using plain language commands, without specialized technical expertise. Additionally, Giatec is rolling out Single Sign-On to streamline access across the SmartMix platform.

What they’re saying

“Giatec is leading the industry by treating data as something to be unlocked, not protected behind walls. Their MCP gives us direct access to our own production and quality data in a way that allows us to invent, automate, and analyze faster than ever before, and honestly, we're only beginning to discover what's possible.”
