From batch to plant: AI that runs chemical manufacturing operations
Batch variability, feedstock swings, and razor-thin margins leave no room for generic AI that needs months to learn your process. IRIS Foundry arrives pre-trained on chemical manufacturing — connecting DCS, LIMS, historians, MES, and ERP data — so your team gets from raw signal to corrective action in weeks, not quarters.
AI-powered solutions built for every step of chemical manufacturing
Generic AI wasn't built for the multivariable complexity of chemical plants — reaction kinetics, thermal sensitivity, and interdependent process variables that shift by product line. IRIS Foundry closes that gap with domain intelligence built around batch and continuous chemical processes, so insight doesn't wait for a data science team to catch up.

From batch drift to fragmented plant data, IRIS Foundry addresses the real operational pressures in chemical manufacturing.
Process safety and HSSE
Monitor safety-critical process parameters and high-risk conditions in real time, helping teams catch process safety events before they escalate into incidents.
Quality and yield optimization
Catch deviations against tight product specifications and target yields in real time, using AI models trained on your process data, not generic defect libraries.
Asset reliability and corrosion detection
Predict failures and detect corrosion on reactors, compressors, pumps, and heat exchangers before they force an unplanned shutdown or safety event.
Soft sensors and advanced process control
Fill instrumentation gaps and stabilize continuous operations with AI-based soft sensors and advanced process control, extending visibility without new hardware.
Fragmented operational data
IRIS Foundry unifies DCS, LIMS, historians, MES, and ERP data into one governed, real-time view, replacing the manual reconciliation that slows root cause analysis.
Skills gaps and workforce
AI copilots and guided work instructions put process expertise in front of every operator, so tools fit existing workflows instead of fighting them.
AI outcomes in production, not in demos
Typical time to first production value with IRIS Foundry, versus 12–24 months for build-your-own approaches.
Pre-built industrial agents included with IRIS Foundry and IRIS Flows, ready to deploy across batch and continuous chemical processes.
Use cases across chemical operations
From predictive maintenance to agentic operations, IRIS Foundry, Forge, and Flows apply one unified data foundation to the use cases that matter most on your line.

Predictive asset intelligence
Predict compressor and rotating equipment failures with remaining-useful-life modeling, catch heat exchanger fouling early, and automate maintenance dispatch before assets fail.
Process optimization and digital twin
Optimize reactors and distillation columns, model amine and CO2 absorber performance, and get closed-loop setpoint advisories for real-time FCCU and unit optimization.
Quality intelligence
Forecast in-process quality issues, run AI-driven SPC and alarm rationalization, and trace off-spec root causes with LIMS and batch genealogy integration.
Process safety monitoring
Monitor safety operating envelopes, log near misses for PSM reporting, catch early warning signs of runaway reactions, and automate compliance documentation.
Energy and emissions intelligence
Optimize steam, air, and utility consumption, track Scope 1 and 2 emissions, tune heat exchanger networks, and manage peak demand across the plant.
Industrial DataOps
Unify OT and IT data across sites into a single namespace with 100+ connectors, and build a Cortex graph purpose-built for chemical operations.
Agentic operations with IRIS Flows
Run autonomous agents from anomaly to root cause to work order, auto-respond to process safety deviations, and coordinate multi-agent yield optimization with a human always in the loop.
AI copilot for plant operations
Ask natural-language questions over plant data, capture operator advisories and shift handover reports, and search SOPs and P&IDs instantly.
Resources for chemical manufacturing teams
Articles, data sheets, and case studies built for chemical manufacturing operations.
One platform: IRIS Foundry, Forge, and Flows
One unified data foundation, one way to build new AI applications, and one layer of agentic execution, built to work together across your plant.
The industrial DataOps platform that unifies DCS, LIMS, historians, MES, and ERP data into one governed, AI-ready foundation.
