Technology advances in chemicals enables creation of new applications, penetration to new markets, and the achievement of new production economies. Chemical companies are adopting digital technologies in manufacturing processes such as machine learning, internet of things (IoT), augmented reality, virtual reality and others which are helping them to reach a new level of productivity. Chemical companies are also using technologies to transform themselves from pure product to product & service companies. For instance, some companies are using sensors at customers’ location to track their product performance. Data gathered is used to innovate the product further and make it more suitable for their customers’ operations.
