SIBUR presented industrial AI solutions at the House of Polymers

Dmitry Chernyshenko, Deputy Prime Minister of the Russian Federation, visited a special exposition dedicated to artificial intelligence technologies at SIBUR's House of Polymers. This is the largest educational and exposition space about oil and gas chemistry in Russia. The opening of the AI exposition is timed to coincide with Artificial Intelligence Day at the International RUSSIA EXPO.

SIBUR's new thematic exposition is dedicated to achievements in the field of artificial intelligence. The company's digital transformation is aimed at improving the efficiency of SIBUR's production and business processes and their digitalization, with an accumulated annual economic effect of more than 45 billion rubles. Half of this effect was achieved through artificial intelligence-based solutions.

The delegation participants were presented with solutions that are actively used at SIBUR enterprises to improve labour productivity and production efficiency, ensure high product quality and industrial safety. While inspecting the exposition, Dmitry Chernyshenko noted the expediency of extending SIBUR's experience and solutions to other industries, for example, he pointed out the possibility of applying the technologies of intelligent diagnostics of steam pipelines for heat insulation safety in the housing and utilities sector.

SIBUR holding has more than 25 production sites with tens of thousands of equipment units. This makes tools for remote monitoring, continuous analysis and decision-making in the area of both process regimes maintenance and ensuring the reliability of plant operation highly demanded. The exposition showcases intelligent systems that combine AI and industrial Internet of Things tools to make the best decisions in production management.

"The creation and implementation of AI-based tools, including generative tools, is among the priority areas of SIBUR's digital transformation. To analyze and pilot new solutions, the company has created innovation laboratories, and now we have more than 70 new hypotheses in our portfolio. Our reliance on the use of AI has paid off: we are seeing a significant increase in process efficiency, labour productivity, efficiency and accuracy of business decision-making," said Alisa Melnikova, SIBUR's director for digital and information technologies.

In addition to the new exposition, guests of the pavilion got acquainted with the main exposition of the House of Polymers dedicated to the achievements of Russian oil and gas chemistry. Today Russia is among the world's leading producers of modern synthetic materials. Russia's share in some segments of the world market exceeds 25%.

House of Polymers is located in Pavilion No. 12 at the VDNH in Moscow. After the RUSSIA EXPO is over, the pavilion will continue its work as a scientific and educational space.

We would like to remind you that the plenary session "Artificial Intelligence - the Main Technology of the XXI Century" was held at the RUSSIA EXPO. There, it was announced that Russia is among the top 10 leading countries in terms of total computing power, and the overall level of implementation of artificial intelligence in priority areas of the economy amounted to 31.5%.
