Pilots in Action: Barcelona Pilot Pioneers Concrete Traceability

In the Circ-Boost Barcelona pilot, a new kind of sensor system is being tested – one that embeds the data directly into the concrete. How it works? Special RFID tags with high memory capacity are embedded up to 3 cm deep into concrete elements. These tags act as self-contained digital โ€œblack boxesโ€ storing all lifecycle
