Within the chemical industry, a sector in charge of converting raw materials into chemical products through chemical and physical processes, innovation is present through the synthesis of natural chemical substances, the replacement of inefficient processes and the production of new substances. Chemical industries have sought alternatives that allow for faster decision making, such as the identification process routes and plant design, guarantee optimal performance and short development cycles for new processes. The use of new artificial intelligence tools can help solve various problems, generate new ideas insights and make meaningful predictions in processes.
