چکیده مقاله :

The increasing complexity and interconnectedness of industrial processes require innovative solutions to optimize operational decision-making. Artificial intelligence (AI) technology has gained attention for its potential to revolutionize operational decisions by harnessing vast amounts of data, analyzing it in real-time, and making informed decisions quickly and accurately. AI algorithms can automate decision-making processes, identify patterns and trends in data, and make predictions about future outcomes.  This study investigates the development of an efficient operating model for the deployment of large-scale artificial intelligence (AI) systems in a selected cement factory in Iraq.  The proposed methodology involves data collection, pre-processing, feature engineering, data visualization, and model selection. Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) were identified through partial least squares regression analysis to model the relationship between energy consumption, production rate, temperature, and moisture content on product quality in a cement factory in Iraq. The results of the study show that the machine learning model accurately predicted energy consumption, production rate, and product quality, with R-squared values of 0.95, 0.92, and 0.88, respectively. The optimized neural network model reduced energy consumption by 12% while maintaining production rate and product quality. Overall, the implementation of AI in the cement industry in Iraq has the potential to improve operational efficiency, reduce costs, and enhance product quality.
