Centre for Connected Plants of the Future
In order to maintain its competitive edge, a radical new paradigm is required in the chemical industry that deviates from traditional approaches.
We are exploring the development of technology-driven innovation through the evolution of traditional assembly production systems into cyber-physical systems. These will be able to respond to market requirements in real-time and provide visibility across production and value chains.
Evolution of traditional chemical plants
Harnessing the latest technologies will lead to responsive, data-driven and more secure plants.
