Chemical Companies Partnership with Data/Digitalization-Focused Companies

Developments in such areas as automation, monitoring, computation, sensing, modeling, and networking technologies should be immensely useful in chemical companies operations.   In order to take advantage of such advances, chemical companies likely need to partner with data/digitalization-focused companies that spearhead advances and develop capabilities in applying data and digitalization in manufacturing processes.  Five companies judged to have these capabilities are: 

Artificial Intelligence Global, a Saudi Arabia company, provides digital solutions to chemical companies.  Services incudes artificial intelligence, robotics, and blockchain.  Click here to go to Artificial Intelligence Global’s website. 

Aveva, a British company, provides artificial intelligence and cloud services to improve chemical processes and operations.  Click here to go to Aveva’s website.

Siemens, a German company, helps companies become “digital enterprises”.   Siemens assists companies to collect, understand, and use massive amounts of data.  Click here to go to Siemens’s website. 

The recently passed and signed “Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act” has several provisions in it that should be important to the chemical industry, including support for smart manufacturing (click here to read a Bergeson & Campbell article on those provisions in the act supporting the chemical industry).  The bill’s section pertaining to “smart manufacturing” is consistent with data-digitalization efforts that have been going on in the European Union for several years.  For example, read a blog entitled “Germany’s Chemical Industry Embraces Industry 4.0 and Digitalization” by clicking here.
