Stop reacting: 3 ways chemical producers can deliver proactive operations
Join Cognite and Pinnacle as they present case studies and learned experience from the chemical industry to discuss three key ways to become more proactive in daily operations:
- How to inject more relevant context into data-driven analytics and applications
- How to empower the workers most close to operations with more insights and agility than ever
- How to use these changes in data strategy to move to a proactive reliability strategy

Process industries have an industrial data problem
What can technology do for your frontline workers, subject matter experts, and data scientists? While most have invested in digital programs to deliver predictable operations, reduce energy consumption, respond to changes faster, and upskill their workforce, many still struggle to move beyond lighthouse projects and realize ROI at scale.
Siloed industrial data
Structured and unstructured data remains in disparate systems such as historians, ERP, CMMS, IoT platforms, etc., making data difficult to find, access, and use
Lack of context
Data relationships remain largely unmapped, putting the burden on subject matter experts to understand and interpret what the data means
Inability to scale use cases
Today, scaling is largely a manual process as use cases are developed individually, at high cost, and with little repeatability
Deliver operational excellence across diverse sites
Process industries continue to increase their product portfolio through expansion and acquisition, but consistent performance is often challenging due to unique data source systems, instrumentation, and processes that exist at greenfield and brownfield sites.
Improve operational excellence across your operations by integrating and normalizing structured and unstructured data with simple access to complex industrial data. Leverage automation, domain data models, and quality monitoring tools to make data speak human with more context and granularity than ever before.

Unlock and scale brownfield asset performance management
Aging assets and diverse equipment create additional challenges at brownfield sites, resulting in a disproportionate amount of reactive responses to unplanned process disruptions.
Deliver industrial digital twins to equip your organization with consolidated views of critical operations for condition monitoring and advanced analytics. Leverage work orders, event logs, and time series data to deliver prescriptive insights with less effort and an improved user experience.

Generate insights with trusted data
Garbage in = garbage out.
People need data they can trust to make high-quality decisions. Solutions that improve operations require time series that are of sufficient data quality. With data quality rules, quickly verify that recommendations from analytics models can be trusted. Use Cognite’s industrial data science library and data profiling features to perform on-the-fly evaluations, no data exports or Excel files required.

Create a trusted data foundation to deploy and scale operational excellence
Cognite Data Fusion® offers a more scalable and sustainable approach to industrial data management that puts data directly into the hands of experts and data scientists. Compared to existing analytics vendors that you may already be contracting with, our software is built to solve the foundational data problem.
Simple access to complex industrial data
Cognite Data Fusion® connects diverse data sources (historians, IoT platforms, MES, ERP, CMMS, PLM, engineering/design data, etc.) for secure, unified access. Utilize its no-code calculation engine for improved decision-making with time series, events, and engineering documents in one workspace. With this, you can calculate cross-site KPIs for production, maintenance, and ESG using normalized data, such as overall equipment effectiveness (OEE), mean time between failure, emissions, energy load, and emissions per unit.

Open, extensible, and secure
Provide easy access to data through pre-established connections to popular solutions and applications, such as Grafana and PowerBI.
Create personalized views of solutions and dashboards, organized by areas of focus such as operations, maintenance, and quality, as well as by functional areas such as production and engineering.
Offer the ability to iterate and improve key performance indicators over time through flexible data modeling, and adopt a scalable approach to gaining insights.

Industrial, simple, scalable
Tackle the data problem first and foremost to give complete visibility to your operations. Cognite Data Fusion® is at its core:
- Industrial - Prebuilt calculations and a no-code calculation engine for analysis
- Simple - Access insights using tools and applications experts already know
- Scalable - Templatizing KPIs and dashboards across sites using normalized data
