On the latest episode of the Chemical Engineering podcast, senior editor Scott Jenkins discusses the digital transformation in the chemical process industries (CPI) with Jonathan Alexander, the manufacturing artificial intelligence (AI) and advanced analytics manager within Albemarle Corp.’s global manufacturing excellence team. In this role, Jonathan has led a site-wide digital transformation program, and has thought a lot about how to scale up digital transformation technologies. This CE Podcast conversation focuses on ways to avoid “pilot purgatory,” a phenomenon where companies get stuck at the pilot stage in implementing digital transformation technologies, and find it difficult to move the technologies to scale in order to derive value from them. Jonathan takes us through what he has found to be the 10 most common hurdles for moving beyond the pilot stage, and how to overcome them. Listen using the link below:
