Across various industrial sectors, digitalization has rapidly developed, utilizing several existing and emerging digital technologies, including artificial intelligence (AI), Big Data analytics (BDA), Internet of Things (IoT), machine learning (ML), natural language processing (NLP), robotics, and automation. While the chemicals sector was relatively slow to adopt these technologies, the transformation rate in the sector has increased considerably in the past 5 years.
