Grounding AI in Reality: Overcoming Plant Constraints with Process Intelligence

Across chemicals, refining, and pharma, operators are anchoring Advanced Process Control (APC) within a comprehensive process intelligence framework to deliver a more significant impact on overall plant performance. While digital twins and real-time analytics have advanced significantly, the dependency on lab analyses for mass balance closure presents a unique challenge. Overcoming this requires true process intelligence—deeply integrating first-principles engineering understanding with data-driven intelligence to unlock accurate, physics-aware optimization that respects real operating boundaries.
