Concepts of automation and data exchange in manufacturing have propelled both upstream and downstream sectors into the 4.0 world, gradually extending to petrochemical plants
Numerous benefits are expected from digitalisation transformation, including real-time business management and associated efficiencies, minimised environmental impact, and improved sustainability and safety.
In petrochemical complexes, process licensors and catalyst suppliers play a key role in accompanying this transformation as they provide the digital tools complementing their proprietary technologies, implement tailored users features such as diagnostics and alerts, predictive functions and improvement suggestions, as well as cybersecurity solutions to ensure the confidentiality of their real-time exchanges with operators.
