AlexFert cuts missed
handover items by 73%
at Egypt's largest fertilizer complex.

AlexFert's operators work across Arabic and English, with shift supervisors responsible for briefing incoming teams on running alarms, open work permits, and equipment in non-standard states — all within a 30-minute handover window. Paper logs and verbal briefings left critical items uncaptured, and no structured audit trail existed for HSE review.

A deviation in the ammonia synthesis loop flagged during a night shift was not fully communicated to the day team, contributing to an unplanned shutdown and a lost production day. AlexFert needed a structured, auditable handover system that could run entirely on-prem — no cloud, no external data transfer — while supporting both Arabic and English input from the same interface.

Capped AI deployed an on-prem appliance alongside AlexFert's existing Yokogawa CENTUM VP historian, with a fully Arabic-first UI and bilingual handover reports. Operators enter shift notes in Arabic or English — the system accepts both in the same input. Capped AI generates a structured brief covering synthesis loop status, running alarms, open permits, and equipment deviations, with automatic translation so incoming supervisors always receive a consistent format.

The appliance runs on-site with no external data transfer, satisfying AlexFert's IT and HSE requirements from day one. Installation, integration, and operator training completed within the first three weeks of the pilot. All handover records are stored locally and are exportable for HSE audit in Arabic and English simultaneously.
