I-Chemistry idlala indima ebalulekile emphakathini futhi inendima enkulu ngokulinganayo ekubhekaneni nokungcoliswa kwemvelo kwabantu kanye nezingqinamba zesimo sezulu. Ukuqhubekela phambili ekusaseni elisimeme, izinkampani zamakhemikhali kumele ziguqule indlela amakhemikhali aklanywa ngayo, athuthukiswa ngayo, futhi asetshenziswa kanjani. 

Umongo wedijithali yemboni yamakhemikhali

Eminyakeni emibili kuphela, umqedazwe we-COVID-19 ubangele ukwanda okusheshayo kokufakwa kwedijithali emhlabeni jikelele. Ngokusho kwe-Ernst & Young (EY)'s DigiChem SurvEY 2022, ehlole abaphathi abangama-637 abavela emazweni angama-35, ngaphezu kwesigamu sabaphenduli baveze ukuthi uguquko lwedijithali luthuthuke ngokushesha emkhakheni wamakhemikhali kusukela ngo-2020. Nokho, ngokusho kwe-EY CEO Outlook Survey 2022, i-digitalization iyinkinga enkulu yamafemu amaningi amakhemikhali. Ngaphezulu kwamaphesenti angu-40 ezinkampani zamakhemikhali ezilandelela ngokushesha ukwenziwa kwedijithali kuyo yonke imisebenzi kusukela ngo-2020. Ukwengeza, ngaphezu kwamaphesenti angu-65 abaphendulile babike ukuthi ukwenziwa kwedijithali kuzoqhubeka nokuphazamisa amabhizinisi abo ngo-2025.

Ukusimama nokuhlelwa kochungechunge lokuhlinzekwa kwempahla kuyizindawo ezimbili ezithakaselwayo abaphathi abaningi bamafemu amakhemikhali abakholelwa ukuthi zizofakwa kudijithali ngo-2025. Ngokusho kwe-DigiChem SurvEY, ukuhlelwa kochungechunge lokuhlinzeka ngempahla kunezinga eliphakeme kakhulu ledijithali phakathi kwabaphenduli (amaphesenti angama-59). Nakuba umkhakha wokusimama ungomunye wemikhakha engahlangene kakhulu nedijithali; nokho, kulindeleke ukuthi ikhule kakhulu ngezinhlelo zedijithali. Kusukela ngo-2022, idijithali ithinta ukuhlelwa kwe-supply chain, futhi lo mkhuba uzoqhubeka njengoba izinkampani zilwela ukuthuthukisa ukuncintisana kwazo nokusebenza futhi zonga imali.

Umthelela ophazamisayo

Isidingo esandayo sokwenziwa kwedijithali kusukela ngo-2020 siholele amafemu amakhemikhali ukuthi enze imisebenzi yawo yokuphatha kanye nokuxhumana kwamakhasimende abe yidijithali. Ngaphezu kwalokho, amafemu amakhemikhali nawo abone ukubaluleka ekuthuthukiseni amanethiwekhi okuthengwa kwempahla angaphumeleli. Lezi zinhlelo eziku-inthanethi zingazisiza ukuthi zilinganisele isidingo, zilandele imithombo yezinto ezingavuthiwe, zilandelele ama-oda ngesikhathi sangempela, zenze ama-warehouse namachweba ngezinjongo zokuhlunga nokuphepha, futhi zithuthukise amanethiwekhi okunikezela jikelele. 

Kodwa-ke, ngokusho kwe-2022 DigiChem SurEY, amafemu abhekana nezinselelo ezintsha ngenkathi enza idijithali, ehluka ngesifunda ngasinye. Ngokwesibonelo, imboni yamakhemikhali yaseYurophu ithuthuke kakhulu futhi iye yaba neminyaka yokusebenzisa izinqubo eziyinkimbinkimbi. Nokho, abaphathi babika ukuthi izinkampani zamakhemikhali zaseYurophu zinenkinga yokuntuleka kwezisebenzi eziqeqeshiwe (amaphesenti angu-47). Abaphendula eMpumalanga Ephakathi nase-Afrika bathe inselelo yabo enkulu ingqalasizinda yezobuchwepheshe (amaphesenti angama-49). Isifunda sase-Asia-Pacific sihlangabezane nenani elikhulayo lokuhlaselwa ku-inthanethi, ngakho-ke ukukhathazeka kwezokuphepha kuyisithiyo saso esikhulu ekuthuthukeni (41%).

Isexwayiso: lokhu kukhula kwedijithali kuphinde kwadonsa ukunaka okungafunwa kwezigebengu ze-inthanethi. Ngenxa yalokhu, izinkampani zamakhemikhali nazo zitshala imali ngamandla ezindleleni zedijithali nezokuphepha ku-inthanethi, ikakhulukazi ezimbonini ze-petrochemical ezinezitshalo ezinkulu zokukhiqiza. 

Imithelela yedijithali yemboni yamakhemikhali

Imithelela ebanzi yedijithali yemboni yamakhemikhali ingase ihlanganise: 

• Izinkampani zamakhemikhali ezishintshela kubuchwepheshe obuluhlaza nezinhlelo ukuze zithuthukise izilinganiso zazo zemvelo, ezenhlalo, kanye nokubusa.
• Amafemu amakhulu amakhemikhali ashintshela kumasistimu asekelwe emafini noma ezisombululweni zamafu ezixubile ukuze athuthukise ukuphepha kwe-cybersecurity nokuhlaziywa kwedatha.
• Ukukhula kwe-Industry 4.0 okuholela ekutshalweni kwezimali okwengeziwe kumadivayisi e-inthanethi Yezinto (IoT), amanethiwekhi ayimfihlo e-5G, namarobhothi.
• Ukukhula kokubona ngeqiniso kunqubo yokukhiqiza amakhemikhali, okuhlanganisa amawele edijithali okulawula ikhwalithi nokuphepha kwezisebenzi okuthuthukisiwe.

Imibuzo ongaphawula ngayo

• Kungenzeka kanjani futhi ukuthi ukwenziwa kwedijithali kwemboni yamakhemikhali kudale amathuba okuhlaselwa ku-inthanethi?
• Yiziphi ezinye izinzuzo zedijithali yemboni yamakhemikhali?
