Centre for Connected Plants of the Future

We're exploring the development of technology-driven innovation for the chemical industry.

Evolution of traditional chemical plants

Harnessing the latest technologies will lead to responsive, data-driven and more secure plants.

By utilising modular technologies, plants will be able to respond to changes in production requirements more easily.

Utilising robotics will mean safer working environments for employees, whilst automation will lead to greater efficiency and accuracy.

Data and simulations can help predict chemical reaction rates; better data will lead to greater efficiency and accuracy in production.

Find out how the same technology that is in self-driving cars and connected homes will run chemical plants.

The centre will work collaboratively across the University to transform the chemical industry.
