Radix, a global technology company specializing in industrial digital transformation, and Celanese, a global chemical and specialty material company, have collaborated with Cognite, the global data and artificial-intelligence (AI) company, on the development of JO.AI, a generative AI-powered product designed for asset-intensive industries.
Born from the development and implementation at Celanese by Radix through its engineering intelligence and powered by Cognite Data Fusion, the DataOps and AI platform for enterprise-scale, industrial data management projects, JO.AI will be showcased at ARC Industry Leadership Forum 2025, taking place in Orlando, Florida, February 10-13 under the theme "On the Ground: Accelerate. Optimize. Scale." Radix will showcase and discuss how it can optimize smart digital manufacturing, directly addressing the challenges faced across industries such as metals, mining and minerals, manufacturing, oil and gas, power generation and distribution, pulp and paper, energy and chemical.
JO.AI acts as an industrial copilot. It leverages Cognite Data Fusion’s data management and AI infrastructure to enable the generative-AI application to carry out operations. With Cognite Data Fusion as its backbone, JO.AI is designed to combine operational insights with pre-trained AI agents focused on specific process use cases.
“AI has proven to be a valuable business catalyst in today’s dynamic manufacturing landscape, offering unparalleled opportunities for optimization and innovation,” said Sameer Purao, senior vice president and CIO at Celanese. “We developed JO.AI, in collaboration with Radix, on top of the robust data foundation provided by Cognite Data Fusion, to harness the power of AI to improve efficiency, reduce costs and elevate overall productivity. Additionally, AI enables smart production through real-time data analysis, facilitating data-driven decisions, process optimization and swift response to market demand. Incorporating AI into our manufacturing operations is not just a technological advancement, but also a competitive advantage.”
“Digital transformation, especially with AI-powered solutions, is only as strong as the data foundation it’s built upon," said Bill Hendricks, president of Cognite Americas. "Cognite accelerates time-to-value by enabling seamless integration and management of complex industrial data, providing the essential infrastructure for innovative applications like JO.AI. Working alongside a forward-thinking partner like Radix, who shares our commitment to pushing the boundaries of industrial innovation, we empower organizations to unlock unprecedented value from their data and drive real operational impact."
