Client Industry

Project Objective

The client was facing increasing operational complexity, production inefficiencies, and revenue leakage across multiple chemical processing units. Manual monitoring systems and fragmented operational data made it difficult to identify bottlenecks, predict failures, and optimize production performance at scale.

The goal was to implement an AI & Machine Learning powered industrial analytics dashboard capable of delivering:

• Real-time operational visibility

• Predictive maintenance alerts

• Production efficiency analytics

• Energy consumption tracking

• Automated anomaly detection

• Revenue leakage analysis

Initial Challenges Faced by the Plant

Before implementation, the factory relied heavily on:

• Excel-based reporting

• Manual machine inspection

• Delayed maintenance response

• Reactive operational decisions

• Disconnected production data

This created major operational issues:

Revenue Leakage

• Untracked raw material wastage

• Production inconsistency between shifts

• Energy overconsumption during idle cycles

• Machine downtime impacting delivery timelines

• Incorrect inventory forecasting

Estimated yearly operational losses exceeded:
₹1.8–2.4 Crores annually
