The chemicals industry includes a large number of specialised sub-industries that are heterogeneous in raw materials used, designated use of products, and production processes. The chemicals industry is widely deemed to be a process manufacturing industry, although some of its sub-industries (the mining and chemical, paint and coatings, and tyre sub-industries) are discrete manufacturing ones. This is why there is a very wide range of solutions traditionally offered to companies and groups in the chemicals industry.
However, the chemicals industry does have some common, industry-wide specific features that make some solutions more relevant. Such features include:
-
high resource intensity (e.g. raw materials costs average 50 to 60 per cent);
-
production facilities that are remote from raw material markets and target markets; complicated supply chains;
-
sophisticated production equipment, a very high level of low-end automation;
-
a high equipment wear rate and, consequently, equipment repair costs that rise each year.
In addition, the current economic environment brings to the fore the issues of raising production, management and labour efficiencies, and reducing costs. This is why companies in the chemicals industry require a high level of automation of production and management processes.
