Technological trends continue to accelerate. Innovation remains constant, and there is a growing urgency to transition from proto types to full-scale industrial implementation and integration with complementary technologies.
The impact of automation on process intelligence is steadily expanding.
Digital transformation is already underway, demanding the adoption of Artificial Intelligence (AI), the Internet of Things (IoT), machine learning, digital twins, and cloud-based services to optimise industrial operations.
Predictive maintenance platforms, machine vision for quality control, and real-time connected working environments are increasingly in use, reaffirming the trend towards smart factories.
For those of us involved in the design of industrial plants and processes, once the conceptual and basic engineering phases are completed and the process flow has been defined, the full process is hashtag#simulated to ensure operability, avoid bottlenecks, prevent product accumulation, and verify that no stage of the system is under-capacitated.
Latin America is advancing towards the integration of intelligent technologies, focusing on efficiency, traceability, personalisation, and sustainability.
