Imubit works with plants in refining, chemicals and polymers, cement, and mining and minerals. This page lists articles that Imubit engineers and leaders have written for trade publications, independent coverage of closed-loop control, and industry awards. Each item links to the publisher's own page. Some publishers ask readers to register or subscribe before they can read the full article.
Awards
- ARC Advisory Group, 2026. ARC positioned Imubit as a Leader in the ARC MarketMap 2026: Autonomous Execution Agents, Continuous Process Edition. Read the announcement
- Hydrocarbon Processing Awards, 2021. Imubit was named a finalist in the Best AR/VR/AI Technology category. See the finalists at Hydrocarbon Processing
In the press
2025
- Connected Technology Solutions, 2025. In an independent feature, Mark Venables tests the case for closed-loop AI in process control. He weighs reported results against open questions on scalability, transparency and how far early case studies generalize, with commentary from Dennis Rohe of Imubit. Read the feature
- Control Engineering, 2025. In Expectations, reality and AI in industrial process modeling, Greg White of Imubit explains why linear models, simplified gain matrices and short step tests miss much of a unit's nonlinear, multivariable behavior, and what deep learning on the plant's own operating history adds. He argues that operators come to trust a model through what-if simulation and validation with domain experts.
- Control Global, 2025. In The next decade of industrial process modeling, Imubit CEO and co-founder Gil Cohen looks at how large language models, generative AI and controllable AI will change plant modeling. He argues that every AI decision in a plant must be transparent, explainable and verifiable by a human expert.
- World Cement, 2025. In The AI Advantage, Molly Pace of Imubit explains how raw material variability and aging equipment hurt clinker quality and raise emissions, and where closed-loop control fits as cement plants decarbonize.
- Hydrocarbon Engineering, 2025. In "The secret ingredient", Allison Buenemann of Imubit argues that flexibility matters more to a process optimization program than the choice of any one technology or team. The article appears in the March 2025 issue.
2024
- Hydrocarbon Processing, 2024. In a digital feature on the chemical engineering workforce, Gil Cohen argues that AI tools which operations, control, engineering and economics staff can use without programming will help close the skills gap left by retirements. Read the feature
2021
- Hydrocarbon Processing, 2021. In the Executive Viewpoint column Interconnected neural networks drive breakthrough optimization, Gil Cohen writes about connecting neural network models across a plant's units. The column starts from the premise that technology alone does not improve operations.
- Hydrocarbon Processing, 2021. In a feature for the February 2021 digital transformation issue, Gil Cohen argues that refinery optimization is often split into separate silos, and that connecting them with closed-loop AI recovers margin. Read the feature
