China News Service, March 26. The 2024 Annual Meeting of the China Development Forum will be held on March 24-25, 2024. On the afternoon of March 25, the "Digital Empowerment Industrial Transformation Seminar" was held. Heda, President and CEO of Wacker Chemicals, said in his speech in the "Panel Discussion II" session that if Wacker Chemicals wants to achieve sustainable and green transformation and development, it must rely on digital empowerment. This is the development path and the transformation method.
Hektar pointed out that digitalization is very important for the chemical industry. As an energy-intensive chemical company, Wacker Chemical's products are directly or indirectly serving all aspects of people's lives.
Heda said that although Wacker Chemical's products cannot be digitized, as a development trend, Wacker Chemical also needs digital technology to empower the entire process of the company's development. Like many companies, Wacker Chemicals must rely on digital empowerment to achieve sustainable and green transformation and development. This is both a development path and a transformation method. In his view, the application of digital technology can reduce energy consumption and costs, improve product quality, and better meet consumer needs; the application of digital empowerment can connect systems, optimize processes, increase data circulation, reduce emissions, and contribute to the realization of carbon dioxide emissions. Contribute to the neutralization goal; applying digital empowerment can optimize construction planning, integrate traditional and virtual technologies, and seize digital development opportunities.
Hedda said Wacker Chemie has one goal: the company's solutions will make the world a better place. The development and empowerment of digital technology will help WACKER achieve this goal better and faster.
