WHY CORIUS?

Why Does the Chemical Sector Choose Corius Over Standard Software?

The REACH compliance burdens, spectrophotometer data complexity, and strict quality standards of chemical production are areas where standard software falls short. Corius is the only software company that understands these requirements, integrates with existing MES and ERP infrastructure, and sets measurable ROI targets before starting every project.

What Are the 6 Core Problems Blocking Profitable Growth in Chemical Production?

Scrap from quality deviations, intuition-based formulation decisions, reactive maintenance costs, and increasing regulatory compliance burdens are the common pain points of Turkey's chemical sector. Research shows that 78% of manufacturers experience at least three of these problems simultaneously.

15–25% Average Scrap Rate

High Scrap and Rework Costs

Scrap rates in chemical and plastics production range from 15–25% depending on the sector. ML quality prediction models reduce this rate by an average of 38%.

2–4 weeks Supplier Adaptation

Formulation Decisions Based on Intuition

Switching to a new pigment or raw material supplier involves a 2–4 week trial-and-error process. Data-driven formulation models reduce this to days.

30–40% Unplanned Downtime Share

Reactive Maintenance Cycle

Equipment failures halt production and emergency maintenance costs are 3–5 times higher than planned maintenance. Predictive maintenance agents reduce this rate by 60%.

3–5 days Compliance Report Duration

REACH and ISO Compliance Burden

Manual compliance processes consume resources and time; each new REACH registration or SDS update means 3–5 days of workload. Automation reduces this process to 4 hours.

11% Batch Failure Rate

Quality Control Delays

Post-production spectrophotometer measurement catches errors too late; the problem is noticed only after the entire batch is completed. A real-time prediction model reverses this process.

4+ Disconnected Systems

Fragmented Production Data

MES, ERP, LIMS, and laboratory systems don't communicate with each other. Real-time decision-making becomes impossible, and data remains siloed.

SOLUTIONS

Which 5 AI Solutions Are Chemical Manufacturers Using to Gain Competitive Advantage?

Every solution is integrated into your existing MES and ERP infrastructure to deliver measurable production improvements.

Get It Right the First Time: Raise Your FTR Rate Above 90%

An XGBoost-based quality prediction model analyzes pigment ratio, temperature, and resin parameters to forecast color deviation (ΔE) before a batch starts. Validated at MAE=0.18 precision in the Mine Colours project, raising the FTR rate from 68% to 93%.

Frequently Asked Questions About AI Solutions for the Chemical Sector

How long does it take to deploy an AI quality control system in chemical production?
Including data preparation, it takes an average of 6–10 weeks: data exploration and integration 2–3 weeks, model development and validation 3–4 weeks, go-live 1–2 weeks. In the Mine Colours project, this process was completed in 8 weeks and full ROI was achieved by month 5.
Is integration with our existing MES and ERP systems possible?
Yes. Our models connect to SAP, Oracle, and custom ERP systems via REST API, OPC-UA, and MQTT protocols. The integration architecture is designed at the start of the project; a zero-downtime transition is achieved without stopping your existing production line.
What sensor data does the predictive maintenance system use?
Reactor temperature and pressure sensors, extruder torque and current data, vibration sensors, and mixer RPM data are the primary data sources. Real-time data streaming from your existing SCADA system is provided via the OPC-UA protocol.
Which databases does REACH compliance automation work with?
It works integrated with the ECHA (European Chemicals Agency) REACH registration database, SDS (Safety Data Sheet) templates, and ISO 9001 audit requirements. Test results drawn from your LIMS system are automatically matched with the relevant regulatory templates.
How much historical production data do we need for our ML model?
A minimum of 18 months of batch data (raw material parameters, production conditions, quality measurements) is sufficient for quality prediction models. 12–24 months of sensor logs is ideal for predictive maintenance. It can also be started with less data; the model matures over time using transfer learning techniques.
Do you develop solutions for small and medium-sized chemical manufacturers as well?
Yes. Corius's modular approach is also applicable to SME-scale chemical manufacturers. You can start with a single high-impact problem (e.g., FTR optimization) and expand the scope after proven ROI.
How is data security and KVKK compliance ensured?
All production and customer data is protected with encrypted transmission (TLS 1.3) and access control policies. Models can be run on in-house servers (on-premise) or a private cloud environment, depending on preference. Personal data processing steps within the scope of KVKK are separately regulated in the project contract.
