Earlier this week, I visited Pan-United’s Innovation Centre and Command Centre to learn more about their R&D efforts in producing sustainable, low-carbon concrete, as well as their AI-driven efforts to streamline their supply chain operations. The company has worked with LTA to successfully implement a proof-of-concept using CO2-mineralised concrete in 2022. Following the success of this trial, LTA has expanded the use of this innovative material across various projects, including rail, road, and commuter facilities. Pan-United’s low-carbon concrete has also been used in other construction projects like Tuas Port, Changi Jewel and Terminal 3. The Pan-United team also briefed me on their AI-enabled Command Centre, where all stages of operations are optimised – from order placement, production to delivery and billing. Powered by their in-house AiR Digital system, they achieved a 45% reduction in costs and manpower and coordinate around 7,000 truck trips a day.
