A recent McKinsey article revealed that while many plants could benefit from the use of AI to accelerate process optimization, few are actually ready for it. The report found that only 10% of plants use AI to describe, predict and inform process decisions, while only 34% of plant systems have installed critical APC systems for critical unit operations, and 75% have instrumentation and sensors in place, but only 70% of these instruments are properly calibrated and cataloged. Only 18% have dedicated IT teams supporting AI solutions, and 60% organizations have a change management strategy in place to use AI solutions in their current operations. McKinsey advises manufacturers to implement sensor and process upgrades to enable AI deployments. System integrators (SIs) and automation suppliers are helping their clients choose automation equipment, sensors and software to build an automation infrastructure that uses AI to make better informed decisions.
