Mexico: Cemex has joined a partnership for the development of OpenBuilt, a digital platform aimed at connecting supply chains for the construction industry. The initiative is intended to increase the safety and sustainability of construction practices. Companies using the system will be able to securely connect their current technology and digital platforms to partners, suppliers or subcontractors in their supply chain via a single integration hub. The platform will be developed on the Red Hat OpenShift hybrid cloud platform and run on the IBM Cloud.
Chief executive officer Fernando Gonzalez said "OpenBuilt is a strategic initiative that will help integrate the construction value chain by increasing productivity, innovation, and collaboration." He added "We are constantly seeking to provide a superior experience to our customers through the innovative use of digital technologies."
