Since 2022, geopolitical tensions have disrupted regional food supply chains, driving an urgent need for fertilizer and complicating the supply of natural gas, a primary raw material. Operating at near-maximum capacity, SOCAR Carbamide needed to improve efficiency to expand output and contribute to regional food security. In response, the plant deployed 42 digitally enabled use cases, supported by an in-house AI-machine learning engine, to enable closed-loop autonomous process control and strengthen workforce support through generative AI and robotics. This initiative increased production throughput by 21% and improved natural gas efficiency by 24%.
