Radix, a global leader in technology solutions driving industrial digital transformation, is partnering with Celanese, a premier chemical and specialty materials company, and Cognite, a global leader in AI and data solutions for industrial applications, to introduce JO.AI. This revolutionary generative AI-powered solution is set to transform operations in asset-intensive industries, optimizing productivity and operational efficiency.
A Collaborative Breakthrough for Industrial Transformation
JO.AI emerged from a successful collaboration between Radix and Celanese, combining Radix’s engineering intelligence expertise with the robust data foundation provided by Cognite Data Fusion®—an advanced DataOps and AI platform designed for managing complex industrial data at an enterprise scale. The solution is engineered to help industrial manufacturers unlock the full potential of their data, enabling smarter, more efficient operations.
Showcasing Innovation at the ARC Industry Leadership Forum 2025
The new AI-powered solution will be showcased at the upcoming ARC Industry Leadership Forum 2025 in Orlando, Florida, from February 10-13. Under the theme “On the Ground: Accelerate. Optimize. Scale.”, Radix will highlight how JO.AI is driving the future of smart digital manufacturing and solving critical challenges faced by industries including Energy, Chemicals, Manufacturing, Oil & Gas, Power Generation, Pulp & Paper, and Metals & Mining. While many industrial manufacturers struggle to harness the full potential of their data, JO.AI provides the solution by enabling real-time, natural language interaction with complex data, making it easier for operators to derive actionable insights from the Industrial Knowledge Graph.
Leveraging Cognite Data Fusion® for Enhanced Operational Intelligence
At its core, JO.AI utilizes Cognite Data Fusion® to power its AI-driven capabilities. The platform’s comprehensive data management and AI infrastructure enable JO.AI to offer more sophisticated operations with higher accuracy. By combining operational insights with pre-trained AI agents tailored to specific industry processes, JO.AI enables companies to streamline their workflows and optimize their operations in real-time.
“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, leveraging the robust data capabilities of Cognite Data Fusion®, to harness AI’s full potential in improving efficiency, cutting costs, and boosting overall productivity. Furthermore, AI enables smart production through real-time data analysis, allowing for data-driven decisions and rapid responses to market demand.
