New Partnership Program — Fall 2026
Your data. Your people. Your platform.
A first-of-its-kind co-development partnership that closes the gap between proof-of-concept AI pilots and enterprise-wide deployment, helping cement producers build lasting competitive advantage through data infrastructure and workforce capability.
Silos hold producers back
Data is disconnected — PLCs, SCADA systems, LIMS, SAP, MES and retrofitted sensors all produce valuable intelligence that no one can act on consistently. Every new AI application requires its own costly integration from scratch. Even routine audits require dozens of back-and-forth exchanges because data lacks context and consistency across plants.
The cost of missing foundations
Without unified data infrastructure, every new plant and every new AI use case becomes another six-month implementation project. The ROI equation breaks down before beginning.
Teams lack the skills to sustain AI systems independently. Change management gets treated as an afterthought. Most organisations end up dependent on external vendors indefinitely—locked out of the compounding returns they expected.
For the first time, your team can actually build.
AI has crossed a threshold. The latest models can write code, query databases, and build applications through plain conversation. This step change in what's possible can be brought directly into your plants.
For the first time, the people closest to your process can build their own tools. Your quality engineers and process experts don't need to wait for IT or submit tickets. They can create dashboards, automate analyses, and solve problems themselves—in hours, not months.
We will help users set up their own unifi ed AI-ready data backbone on their own terms to bridge the many gaps between the many diff erent control systems, sensors and condition monitoring systems that are already installed. Th e result is a virtuous circle: better data infrastructure enables better AI applications. Better AI applications strengthen internal capabilities. Stronger teams continuously
improve their platforms, creating compounding ROI while reducing long-term dependence on external vendors. Th is will shrink implementation times, with each new AI system cheaper to start than the previous one.
What the program delivers
03 commitments
01
We build a unified AI-ready data backbone in your own AWS or cloud account — connecting PLCs, SCADA, LIMS, SAP, MES and retrofitted sensors into a single foundation. Because every application builds on the same infrastructure, integration times shrink dramatically and each additional AI system deploys faster, at significantly lower cost.
02
Your internal champions receive dedicated alcemy mentors and hands-on training to build their own dashboards and applications, manage third-party AI systems, and drive adoption across the organisation. We build ownership that outlasts the partnership — so you are never locked into a vendor indefinitely.
03
The partnership begins with a shared discovery phase: an AI readiness assessment, an architectural vision and organisational blueprint. It then transitions into long-term co-development. Upskilling and change management happen alongside technical deployment, not after it.
The Journey
Phase 01
Discovery & Assessment
AI readiness assessment, architectural vision for your data infrastructure, and an organisational blueprint tailored to your plant network and team structure.
Phase 02
Co-Development
Technical deployment runs alongside upskilling and change management. Your team builds applications with dedicated alcemy mentors — learning by doing, gaining confidence and ownership.
Phase 03
Virtuous Cycle
Better data enables better AI. Better AI builds stronger teams. Stronger teams continuously improve the platform — creating compounding ROI while reducing long-term dependence on external vendors.
