Digital Transformation
Why is digital transformation necessary?
The fast development of the industrial environment infrastructure enhances the novel technologies and innovation potential to change the global industry 4.0 through cyber-physical systems to face with short innovation cycle and uncertainty. The digital transformation or intelligence design aims to empower employees, engage customers, optimize production, and enable competitiveness.
What are the digital solutions in the polymers and specialty chemicals manufacturing process from i-APC?
A smart factory is a compelling example based on entire value creation. The digital transformation will be a short and long-term strategy of the organization. I-APC selects the customized best-fitted digital solution in each state of Digital Transformation Roadmap from various software platforms into polymer and specialty chemical process technologies on different production units. The digital transformation aims to reduce unnecessary costs and waste such as time-consuming, energy-consuming, production failure, and workforce while optimizing the production.
I-APC provides Machine Learning to evaluate a non-linear regression model to reduce the variation between golden and active for the Batch Process. We turn field data availability (Big Data) into digital with Automation in a developing production step. All are connected to meet the actual manufacturing limits or create chemical process and product recipe information.
Artificial intelligence (AI) is for real-time supporting workforce capability and remote monitoring to reduce communication load by appropriate algorithm, including an intelligent operation dashboard (The Plant Mobile Data Management and Decision Support System). Predictive (Smart Sensor for predictive failure and Hierarchical Predictive Control for Batch, HPCB) and prescriptive analytics deliver safety and novel technology to the manufacturing ecosystem.
The ideals to ensure competitiveness in the market
in three areas of sustainable development
- Customer trends focus on the Digital Economy and Innovation, which might create a new need for material. Chemical manufacture and stakeholder are working together to meet the insight of customers. Digital transformation is a value-added service and product to the fast and uncertain redesign market.
- Using digital to optimize cost and performance is significant shows the benefit from an attractive ROI
- In terms of reducing carbon emissions or lowering the carbon footprint, optimizing the production enhances the efficiency, quality of the product, optimizing waste and energy consumption which are the commitment for a viable natural environment.
