The Digital Factory Emerges
The latest digital technology enables process manufacturers to reduce costs, strengthen innovation and meet environmental requirements.
Using the latest digital technologies, Cognizant helps process manufacturing majors and niche players overcome the top challenges they face every day: capacity consolidation, falling commodity and energy prices, emerging market dynamics, uninterrupted sourcing of raw materials and compliance with stringent environmental regulations.
We help leaders in chemicals, pulp and paper, packaging, building materials and resource-based industries to run streamlined processes, reduce operating costs, enhance plant yields and reduce environmental impact.
Artificial Intelligence, robotics, blockchain and the cloud all have roles to play in the connected factory. At Cognizant we can help you integrate the latest digital solutions to leap forward from traditional automation to the fully connected smart processes of tomorrow.
Cognizant provides digital expertise in all leading enterprise resource planning (ERP) and supply chain management (SCM) packages to help process manufacturing companies deal with industry consolidation, global supply chain complexity and volatile commodity prices. Our expertise covers the entire spectrum, from roadmap definition to design, implementation and maintenance of IT systems, as well as running back-office processes.
Our Chemical Industry Template solution is built on top of an industry standard enterprise package that can be used to significantly cut the lead time for large-scale ERP roll outs in chemical companies.
Given the ever-increasing demand for reducing the carbon footprint of process manufacturing, Cognizant’s clients engage with us for a variety of needs, including waste lifecycle management, energy management, Green IT, REACH compliance and global regulatory reporting.
We offer consulting and technology implementation expertise to make a Green Plant viable. Further, our WasteTrace solution tracks industrial waste from generation through transportation and disposal. It also enables printing of labels, placards and various compliance reports.
We help our process manufacturing clients manage their capacity in an intelligent and cost-efficient manner, making use of the latest digital monitoring and management technologies. These are integrated with supply chain planning systems, as well. The result is longer life for plant assets, reduced maintenance expenditure and higher reliability of plant operations. It also helps cut down the need for manual intervention in potentially hazardous environments.
Cognizant’s experience in delivering cutting-edge solutions to our process manufacturing clients allows us to offer a range of services in batch and recipe optimization, plant performance management, key account management and business analytics. Use the latest digital technologies such as IoT and blockchain, we enable clients to take a data‑driven approach to decision-making.
Our iBatch solution enables intelligent batch execution and proactive management of shop floor events, together with support for data analytics. Our Laboratory Information Management (LIMS) solution provides integrated sampling, sample traceability, analysis scheduling and result reporting. The solution interfaces with lab equipment and provides data for further analysis. Finally, our Plant Metrics Management Solution (PMMS) aids organizations, aligning and streamlining plant operations with overall business strategy, making business KPIs react immediately to changes at the operational level.
