partners. It is currently being integrated into a general supervision platform proposed by a major software com- pany. By incorporating the platform into thermodynam- ics libraries and merging dynamic simulation tools and advanced process control into a single platform, this inte- gration could be a significant benefit. This way, customers would no longer concentrate on individual units but could supervise the entire refinery or petrochemical installation. Petrochemical and oil refinery customers working with Axens can count on a proven solution for evaluating and improving their operational performance. This solution is designed to adapt to their evolving needs and changes in technology, so they can continue to unlock new opportuni - ties and efficiencies. Meeting the expectation of considerably improving unit troubleshooting is a top priority for clients. Utilising AI through ML algorithms and clustering techniques to iden- tify anomalies is a promising approach to enhancing overall unit performance.
