Borouge is set to collaborate with Yokogawa to conduct a proof-of-concept for AI-powered autonomous control room operations at Borouge’s Ruwais facility in Abu Dhabi, UAE.

Yokogawa UAE Industry, a provider of advanced automation technologies and solutions across the UAE will utilise advanced AI-based technologies to analyse data, identify patterns, and predict anomalies, enabling faster corrective actions that reduce the risk of unplanned shutdowns. The proof of concept will also explore how autonomous control room operations can unlock value by enhancing efficiency and optimising overall plant performance.

Hazeem Sultan Al Suwaidi, CEO of Borouge, said: “As we progress our AI, Digitalisation, and Technology (AIDT) transformation programme, our goal is to deliver an AI-powered autonomous control room at one of the largest petrochemical sites in the world, enabling Borouge to accelerate growth and create lasting value for shareholders.”

Norinao Sato, President and CEO of Yokogawa Middle East and Africa, commented: “An AI-powered control room is a next generation operational hub that leverages AI, machine learning, and automation to optimise decision-making, automate processes, enhance safety, and boost efficiency sustainably, transforming the control room from a reactive monitoring station to a proactive, intelligent command centre.”
