CEMEX, the global building materials company, was sitting on a gold mine. Ten years ago, the company digitized operations, installing equipment sensors and PI System technology in every facility, creating an inbound stream of real-time data. With a decade’s worth of operational data, it was time for CEMEX to leverage that information to further advance its digital transformation. “Data is the new gold. We had a gold mine sitting there and we were not tapping it,” said Rodrigo Javier Quintero, operations digital technologies manager at CEMEX, during the PI World San Francisco 2019 conference. Taking a giant step towards autonomous manufacturing, CEMEX combined existing process knowledge with Petuum’s Industrial Artificial Intelligence (AI) solution, creating a springboard for predictive — and prescriptive — methods that would transform future operations. Thanks to Petuum and OSIsoft’s PI System, CEMEX is on the path to automating processes and achieving previously impossible production goals.

Pharmaceutical manufacturing is one of the most complex and highly regulated industries in the world. Succeeding at the cutting edge of drug development and production requires the ability to quickly and flexibly respond to increasingly complex challenges. The key to that flexibility is data: harnessing a fire hose of real-time information to analyze, adapt, predict, and improve processes. Headquartered in Kenilworth, NJ, USA Merck & Co. (also known as MSD outside the United States and Canada) first implemented the PI System at its small molecule manufacturing facility in Pennsylvania in 1993. Since then, Merck has expanded the use of the real-time data infrastructure to more than 18 sites around the world and has become a long-time OSIsoft Enterprise Agreement customer. At a pair of presentations delivered during PI World San Francisco 2019, Merck experts spoke about the transformative impact that holistic data management with the PI System is making on the company to enable a shift from batch to continuous manufacturing and support improved monitoring and real-time analysis.

Founded in 2018 from the merger of two major Canadian agriculture supply businesses, Saskatoon-based Nutrien is the world’s largest producer of potash and the second-largest producer of nitrogen fertilizer. When PotashCorp and Agrium merged to form Nutrien, one side of the merger was already on the road to an enterprise-wide approach to data management with the PI System™, while the other had operational data in an entirely different system. By taking a methodical, enterprise-wide approach to data, Nutrien was able to bring all of its historical data into the PI System and is now using data to look ahead to new business opportunities.
