The use case: how Shell deploys C3 AI
Shell uses the C3 AI Platform to build and run enterprise AI applications at scale, including predictive maintenance for industrial reliability, asset optimization and integrity management. It also applies AI to real-time production optimization at LNG facilities and to reducing the footprint of its operations.

the technology delivered a CO2 emissions reduction of ~355 tonnes a day when the plant was operating at full capacity
this can add up to 130 kilotons per year, the equivalent of taking 28,000 average US vehicles off the road
In the customer’s words
We chose C3 AI because we wanted a platform for our enterprise applications. We want to leverage the platform and domain expertise already created and bring our IP on top of that,Other AI tools used by Shell
