𝗕𝗟𝗜𝗖 𝗩𝗼𝗼𝗿𝘂𝗶𝘁 | Practical Guide to Enhancing Process Safety with AI Chemelot aims to be Europe's safest and most sustainable chemical site by 2025. Leveraging AI and data-driven technologies shows great promise in enhancing safety by identifying hazards and hidden patterns in Big Data. 𝗕𝗟𝗜𝗖 𝗩𝗼𝗼𝗿𝘂𝗶𝘁, which in Dutch stands for 'Better Learning from Information in Chemistry by Looking Ahead', is an initiative by Brightsite focused on extracting valuable insights from plant data to eventually develop a predictive safety model. This effort has resulted in a practical Guide for factories to implement immediately. Watch the video to see how 𝗕𝗟𝗜𝗖 𝗩𝗼𝗼𝗿𝘂𝗶𝘁 is transforming process safety. This Safety Deal is financially supported by the Ministry of Infrastructure and Water Management's Subsidy Scheme for Strengthening Environmental Safety, executed by the Netherlands Enterprise Agency, and contributions from participating parties. ➡️ Learn more about BLIC Vooruit and download the Guide: https://lnkd.in/ejbv_353 (DUTCH). #blicvooruit #processsafety #ai #sustainability #chemicalindustry #bigdata #predictivemodeling Ministerie van Infrastructuur en Waterstaat Rijksdienst voor Ondernemend Nederland (RVO)
