Efficient process operation for chemical batch and bulk productions

The chemical market asks for an IT environment in which production and business processes are seamlessly interwoven. Smart plants that apply continuous process monitoring and adjustment to manufacture products that always meet the client's specifications and legal quality and safety requirements. Sustainability, paperless production, and waste and energy reduction are topical subjects, as are functional safety, order management, and the transition to management solutions. The integration between IT and OT plays an important part in this process.

Fine chemistry and biochemistry (we help obtaining kerosene from frying fat) are all about batch processes, production of client orders or (small) batches. They often involve special products, made according to a specific method. That demands a lot from the order management and production process reporting. In petrochemistry, on the other hand, we see mainly bulk productions: large volumes and long production processes. These revolve around direct process control from the control room, and data collection, so that the plant can always count on up-to-date and immediately available information. Functional safety is an important safety aspect in these processes. As a system integrator, ICT Group are at home in all of these fields. With consultancy, implementation, and managed services, we serve the entire product life cycle. We have a profound knowledge of both the chemical domain and the technology. We operate at all levels, from PLC engineering and SCADA to MES solutions and data enterprise integration. That makes us the ideal partner for long-term cooperation.
