What changes when it is chemicals & process industry

Most RAG projects fail at retrieval, not generation, the model was fine, the right passage was never fetched. We benchmark retrieval separately, because that is where the accuracy actually lives.

In chemicals & process industry, process safety and environmental compliance dominate every operating decision. That single fact reshapes how rag & knowledge retrieval has to be built here, the guardrails, the approval points and the evidence trail are design inputs rather than things bolted on before go-live.

The workload we are most often asked to take on first is safety incident analysis, usually integrated against ERP. We start from the constraint, not the capability, what the system must never do, who signs off, and what happens when it is wrong.

Built by engineers who ship production systems, not by a practice that subcontracts the build. Six weeks to something running in production, not six quarters to a strategy document.

Questions from this sector

Can AI optimise our process parameters?

Where historian data is rich enough, yes, and always as recommendations to operators rather than direct control, unless your safety case explicitly permits otherwise.

How do you handle safety-critical systems?

We do not put AI in the safety instrumented path. Advisory and monitoring roles only, with the existing safety systems untouched.

RAG or fine-tuning?

RAG for knowledge that changes and must be cited; fine-tuning for style, format and task behaviour. Most production systems use RAG for the facts and light fine-tuning or few-shot prompting for the form.

How accurate will it be?

We build a labelled question set from your domain and report retrieval precision and answer accuracy against it. That number is the deliverable. We do not ship a system whose quality nobody has measured.

Can it respect our existing permissions?

Yes. Retrieval is filtered by the user's actual entitlements, so the assistant can never surface a document the user could not already open.
