Digital Transformations Boost Safety, Efficiency in Chemical Industry
Digital transformations in the chemical industry are driving real improvements in safety, efficiency, and reliability. Key principles include a business-centric approach, clear path from pilot to scale, integrated transformation, solid business case, and change management. A European producer recently reduced unplanned downtime by 22% and saved €4.7 million in capacity using predictive tools.
Fernando Cruzado, David Sedge, and Gernot Schaefer, working for a chemical and digital/AI-focused firm, highlight the importance of digital tools addressing specific business problems. Enhancing proven methodologies with digital enablers can exponentially increase efficiency and effectiveness in chemical plants.
They stress that it's not about technology adoption, but performance evolution, owned by those who deliver it daily. Combining digital innovation and traditional performance improvement is more effective than choosing one over the other. Selectivity in deploying digital programs leads to better impact and transformation.
Digital value generation in chemicals is about present-proofing performance and driving real gains in safety, efficiency, and reliability. A European producer's success story demonstrates the potential of digital tools in reducing unplanned downtime and saving capacity. Cruzado, Sedge, and Schaefer's insights underscore the importance of a strategic, business-centric approach to digital transformations in the chemical industry.
