WIB Workgroup AI:  Artificial Intelligence

Artificial Intelligence at WIB focuses on the question: "How does AI contribute to the improvement of the production and work processes?".

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is potentially revolutionising chemical production plants by enabling intelligent process automation, real-time optimisation, and data-driven decision-making. AI systems analyse operational data from sensors and equipment to improve efficiency, product quality, and resource utilisation. Advanced algorithms support predictive maintenance, reducing equipment failures and unplanned downtime. AI-powered process control continuously adjusts operating conditions to maximise yield while minimising energy consumption and emissions. Digital twins and simulation models help operators optimise plant performance and test process improvements virtually. The ultimate vision is a self-optimising, safe, and sustainable chemical manufacturing environment that enhances productivity, competitiveness, environmental stewardship, and operational excellence.

​For WIB, the focus is on the function and the preconditions (including those for the infrastructure). The technological solutions will follow from that.​
