Impulsionadas pela Covid-19, empresas de todo o mundo aceleraram seu processo de transformação digital.
No setor de Papel e Celulose não foi diferente. Considerando esse cenário, o grupo LADES-GIMSCOP da COPPE/UFRJ e UFRGS vai realizar o seminário “Myth vs Reality. How AI and Process Controls are changing the Pulp and Paper industry” .
O evento vai abordar temas como:
- Aplicações da inteligência artificial (IA) no setor;
- Controles regulatórios (uma saga de mais de 50 anos para minimizar a variabilidade por meio do controle);
- Dinâmicas de processos de curto e longo prazo;
- Motivos pelos quais a maioria dos investimentos em projetos de controle, IA e implantação de
ferramentas de machine learning não são bem-sucedidos.
O organizador e anfitrião do seminário será o professor Maurício B. de Souza, professor da EQ/UFRJ e um dos principais pesquisadores nas áreas de IA e controle de processos do Brasil. A Radix estará presente com dois especialistas da área de Papel e Celulose, apresentando trabalhos desenvolvidos pela Radix para empresas do segmento.
