AI for plants where a wrong reading is a safety event
Heavy-industry clients use Exec × AI when AI sits inside a process-safety boundary or a Seveso-regulated site.

How the sector reads
You will see deployments designed against ISA-84 and IEC 61511 expectations. The model never lives inside the safety-instrumented function. We document the boundary.
Predictive-maintenance use cases pay back in 9 to 14 months for asset values above 50 million pounds, based on five plants across cement and chemicals. The basis is on file.
Where the case is weaker (small plant, mature SCADA, mature TPM), we say so. Not every plant needs AI for predictive maintenance.
