Track: Digitalization

By analysing images and video data, computer vision systems can detect defects, monitor processes and optimise production. Over a period of several years, at BASF we have teamed up with Tecnalia to establish a framework to help researchers working in the chemical field of R&D. As a demonstration of our efforts, we will present a case study that assesses the effectiveness of phytosanitary chemical products used in agriculture.

The approach, methodology and management process of the change made by Cepsa in its industrial innovation and transformation projects. Presentation of some project case studies now implemented and discussion of the future challenges these now face.

Development of autonomous control systems for the efficient management of waste water treatment processes in Amsterdam’s main waste water treatment facility. The system implemented consists of a package of data-based solutions that integrates virtual sensors, digital twinning, variable prediction or autonomous control agents. The goal is to seek the minimum environmental impact and power consumption link to the biological processes involved in treatment operations, all compliant with the current water quality regulations.

Design and development of a customised factory management computer system that allows the management, control and monitoring of the existing production plants and packaging lines in the Linasa factory (Murcia), resulting from this the total traceability of the product made. This software includes all the modules of a MES system (production control) and it complements them turning it into a global factory software. Being a “System” totally interconnected with the different existing software (ERP, SGA, GMAO, DCS, LIMS, etc). Becoming a technological enabler of the TQM (Total Quality Management) principles.

Strategic collaboration between Telefónica and Repsol to take advantage of the Data Science from Telefónica equipment to put them at the service of Artificial Intelligence applications to improve Repsol’s industrial processes.
