AiPipe for Casale: an AI solution in the Chemical Industry
"Teaming up with Artificialy is an extraordinary experience! It is astonishing to see how fast their Artificial Intelligence Engineers and Scientists are able to deeply understand the specialist design of piping systems – and how quickly they pick up even the technical jargon and domain-specific language used by engineers. With them we developed AiPipe, which makes the design noticeably faster, improving accuracy and reliability throughout the process. We can now test multiple plant layout scenarios in just short time - something that was simply unthinkable before. This has completely changed how we approach design, unlocking faster decisions and smarter cost optimizations."
Challenge
Estimating the cost of an industrial chemical plant is a complex and time-consuming task due to the technical intricacies, the variety of equipment, and the massive number of components involved. For a global player like Casale, the executive design of such plants typically requires between hundred thousand man-hours, often extending over 12 to 24 months. Among all activities, 3D piping modeling alone consumes significant part of the total effort, representing a major bottleneck in both time and cost. AI used in the chemical industry can streamline complex design workflows and significantly reduce time and costs. That’s why we developed a tailored solution to support this transformation.
Casale is a global leader in the chemical industry, delivering integrated technologies and turnkey solutions in engineering, contracting, and construction - with a strong focus on innovation and sustainability.
