Case Study: LANXESS achieves democratized industrial analytics and six-figure savings with Software AG’s TrendMiner

Every employee a data scientist Advanced analytics in the hands of every process engineer

LANXESS, a global specialty chemicals company headquartered in Cologne, faces intense competition in a €1 trillion market while managing tight production runs, strict quality requirements and a group-wide push for digitalization. To remain competitive and meet efficiency, sustainability and operational-transparency goals, the company needed production specialists across its sites to access and act on real-time operational data without relying on scarce data-science resources.

LANXESS deployed Software AG’s TrendMiner self-service industrial analytics across about 70% of its plants, putting advanced analytics in the hands of process engineers. The rollout delivered real-time alerts, predictive maintenance, golden-batch detection and yield optimization, producing multiple six-figure savings in individual cases, higher capacity utilization, better asset availability and faster, data-driven decision making across the group.
