About Chemical 4.0

The chemical industry is the mother of all industries and every industry, in some way, is dependent on it. Putting numbers to it, over 96 percent of manufactured goods contain products from the chemical industry.

Since the last few years, the Chemical Industry has witnessed a myriad of challenges such as rise in competition, increased production demand, stringent environmental protection requirements and call for uninterrupted logistics. The pandemic added additional roadblocks, spiralling any growth momentum to a zero level.

Now that the markets are slowly opening up, there will be newer challenges and the traditional operations will no longer be sufficient for the chemical industry to compete. Be it Manufacturing, Production, Operations, Quality or Supply Chain, the Chemical Industry will need to ‘Automate its Future.

Understanding this need, WorldofChemicals in association with Rockwell Automation is organising a Virtual Symposium on ‘Chemical 4.0: Automating the Future’ on July 16th, 2021. Industry experts from across the world will answer the toughest automation questions and discuss solutions for the chemical industry.

As a knowledge partner, Rockwell Automation, is a global automation solutions leader in creating ‘Connected Chemical Plant’ helping companies to optimize plant operations, improve asset utilization, lower support costs and reduce risks with a modern distributed control and information system.
