SCG Chemicals achieves 99% plant reliability
Petrochemical leader deployed an AI-driven digital reliability platform across engineering, operations, and maintenance to achieve 99% plant reliability and 9X ROI in six months.
How industrial AI optimizes planning, operations, and the supply chain
Industrial organizations today face growing pressure to run every part of their value chains with greater speed, stability, and efficiency. From the plant floor to enterprise logistics, small inefficiencies compound into significant losses in margin, missed demand, excess energy use, and unplanned downtime. Yet many teams still rely on fragmented, disconnected tools, forcing them to switch between systems, wait on slow simulations, and make critical planning decisions with limited data.
AVEVA’s industrial AI brings these pieces together into one continuous loop of performance optimization. It learns from live and historical data across operations, supply chain, and planning to reveal hidden inefficiencies, guide decisions, and automate improvements.

Faster decision-making
Better decisions start with actionable insight. The Industrial AI Assistant helps operations teams understand complex situations by turning industrial data into straightforward guidance. Teams can ask questions in natural language, quickly surface the insights that matter, and see what is driving changes in performance. By clarifying what is happening and why, the Assistant supports faster, more confident operational decisions.

Confident operational control
Operational teams work best when issues are visible before they become problems. AVEVA Operations Control brings AI-powered analytics directly into HMI and SCADA, giving operators clearer context and earlier warnings. Combined with Vision AI Assistant, teams gain real-time visual detection that highlights anomalies the moment they appear. Together, these capabilities help operators respond sooner and with greater confidence across every stage of operations.

Optimize operational reliability
Operational reliability improves when emerging risks are visible early. AVEVA's Industrial AI identifies subtle deviations and failure patterns and provides time to failure forecasts, helping teams act sooner to prevent unplanned downtime. Its no-code approach enables reliability and maintenance teams to build and deploy models quickly, without relying on data science resources.
Predictive Asset Optimization then uses AI-driven insights to prioritize the most effective maintenance actions across fleets and complex asset networks.
Together, these capabilities help organizations shift from reactive to proactive reliability strategies, improving asset availability, extending asset life, and reducing the risk and cost of unexpected failures.

Drive process performance
Process excellence depends on continuous refinement. AI-enriched models in AVEVA Process Simulation help teams test and validate improvements before they are implemented, reducing risk and accelerating decision-making. AVEVA Process Optimization then applies real-time AI guidance during live operations to keep throughput, energy use and quality on target.
Advanced Analytics supports centerlining and highlights deviations from approved operating conditions, helping teams maintain optimal performance more consistently. Integrated process approvals and centerline comments ensure that changes to operating strategies and setpoints are reviewed, approved and documented before implementation. Together, these capabilities help organizations maintain more stable performance and drive ongoing process gains across their operations.

Built supply chain resilience
Supply chain resilience requires agility from planning to delivery. AVEVA Unified Supply Chain uses AI-enabled optimization to strengthen forecasting, streamline planning, and keep materials moving reliably, even as conditions shift. By integrating data across production, logistics and commercial systems, teams gain more visibility into constraints and opportunities. This helps organizations respond faster, reduce disruptions and maintain smoother, more predictable supply chain performance.

FAQs
Industrial AI refers to a range of mathematical techniques that recognize patterns, detect anomalies, provide expert guidance, and predict future outcomes. AVEVA’s industrial AI integrates AI throughout the entire industrial life cycle to inform better decision-making, accelerate innovation, optimize design, streamline planning and scheduling, improve production, and enable predictive maintenance.
Industrial AI accelerates simulations, automates anomaly detection, optimizes production schedules, and provides conversational guidance. This enables teams to run leaner operations, adapt faster to changes, and maximize the value of every decision.
At AVEVA, customer data is never blended to train or fine-tune generative AI models, ensuring privacy and security and protecting intellectual property. AVEVA’s approach prevents data blending between customers, ensuring a secure and trustworthy AI experience.
The data integrity and transparency of the Industrial AI Assistant is guaranteed by using citations that clearly show data sources and values, enabling users to validate results quickly and act with confidence.
Robust guardrails ensure questions are specific and focused on industrial use cases. Out-of-scope queries won't be answered, and if relevant data is unavailable, the Industrial AI Assistant will inform you instead of searching the internet, ensuring accuracy and reliability.
No, AVEVA’s AI products do not fall under the EU AI Act’s definitions of “High Risk” or “Prohibited” systems. The EU AI Act is the first comprehensive regulation for artificial intelligence, designed to ensure AI systems are safe, transparent, and respect fundamental rights.
The EU AI Act explicitly bans certain types of AI systems that are considered to pose unacceptable risks to people’s safety, rights, and freedoms and establishes a set of stringent obligations for AI systems classified as “High Risk.”
AVEVA’s AI solutions are designed to support customers in analyzing their own industrial data and do not fall within the categories identified as “High Risk” or “Prohibited” under the EU AI Act.
