There is a strong demand from the industry for the development of specific tools (adapted sensors) that can be embedded in concrete as soon as it is applied. In the case of refractory concretes, the optimisation of drying time has a significant economic impact (reduction in downtime of manufacturing lines, energy cost, etc.) while rendering them more efficient and limiting the risk of damage to the structures. However, their implementation requires real-time availability of certain physical data via specific sensors embedded in the concrete. Meanwhile, the existing sensors on the market are too restrictive regarding the conditions of use (temperature ranges, pressure, environment, etc.) and therefore do not correspond to the industrial needs of the refractory concrete sector. Consequently, the CUBISM project aims to fill these gaps by offering humidity and pressure sensors that work at much higher temperatures, in greater measurement ranges and in an environment compatible with that of refractory concretes. The project is part of a campaign to boost the competitiveness of companies active in the fields of refractory concretes and civil engineering, two highly developed sectors of activity on both sides of the cross-border region.
