Case Study: LANXESS achieves six-figure savings and higher capacity utilization with TrendMiner

Advanced analytics in the hands of every process engineer

LANXESS is a leading specialty chemicals company based in Cologne that faced fierce competition in a €1 trillion market, tight production runs, stringent quality requirements, and a push for group-wide digitalization. To give production specialists fast access to operational data and analytics, LANXESS adopted TrendMiner (Software AG’s TrendMiner Self-Service Industrial Analytics) to democratize analytics across its plants.

TrendMiner was piloted in 2018 and rolled out across the Group, delivering self‑service pattern recognition, real‑time operating notifications and predictive maintenance so engineers can act without being data scientists. The TrendMiner deployment uncovered multiple use cases with up to six‑digit savings, increased capacity utilization and asset availability, improved energy efficiency and process transparency, and empowered analytics‑driven decision making across LANXESS.
