Key Takeaways:
- IOTA is enabling real-time automation in concrete curing using Digital Twins.
- The University of Strathclyde will present this research at EG-ICE 2025.
- IOTA is gaining recognition in digital identity research for its decentralized approach.
The University of Strathclyde will be in the spotlight at the upcoming EG-ICE 2025 conference, unveiling groundbreaking research on the integration of IOTA smart contracts with Digital Twin technology. Running from July 1 to 3, the event is hosted by the European Group for Intelligent Computing in Engineering (EG-ICE), a platform uniting AI, engineering, and computing experts for over 30 years.
IOTA and Digital Twins: A New Era of Automation
This year’s presentation focuses on how IOTA smart contracts can automate complex industrial tasks, specifically concrete curing—a process where timing, temperature, and humidity determine structural integrity. Typically requiring manual oversight, the process is now being revolutionized through real-time monitoring via Digital Twins, paired with decentralized automation enabled by IOTA.
Sensors embedded in the concrete feed live environmental data to the Digital Twin. Once optimal conditions are met, IOTA smart contracts trigger automated actions, such as stopping heaters or progressing to the next construction phase—no manual intervention required.

From Code to Concrete
The technology demonstration, dubbed “Code to Concrete,” is a major step forward in smart infrastructure. According to technology enthusiast Salima, this application shows how IOTA can extend beyond traditional blockchain use cases into architecture and engineering.
The setup not only saves time but also reduces human error and increases precision—vital in high-stakes environments like construction.
IOTA’s Growing Academic Spotlight
Beyond EG-ICE, IOTA is gaining broader academic recognition. A recent study from the University of Oslo ranked IOTA Identity alongside eIDAS and Hyperledger as a leader in self-sovereign identity management. Researchers highlighted IOTA’s ability to eliminate middlemen and empower users with full control over their digital identities.
