Hyperion Systems Engineering Ltd (HSE), the Cyprus-based industrial technology and deep-tech software company behind HYPPOS is proud to announce that the industrial implementation of its HYPPOS AI platform at HELLENiQ ENERGY (HELLENiQ ENERGY - Empowering Tomorrow) has been recognized with the **Industrial Best Practice Award at the SuSChemE–SUSTENS 2 Conference, organized under the auspices of the European Federation of Chemical Engineering (EFCE).
The award was presented to HELLENiQ ENERGY for the successful deployment of the HYPPOS AI soft-sensor system, developed by Hyperion Systems Engineering. HYPPOS AI enables real-time prediction of polypropylene product quality, helping production teams make earlier decisions, improve process performance, and reduce off-spec production associated with delayed laboratory-based testing.
The recipients were selected by an independent Industrial Awards Committee of experienced industry professionals and experts, following the evaluation criteria published by the conference organizers.
The recognition highlights the successful collaboration between Hyperion Systems Engineering and HELLENiQ ENERGY, demonstrating how artificial intelligence can move beyond proof-of-concept and deliver measurable value in demanding industrial operations. By providing reliable AI-based virtual sensing, HYPPOS AI supports improved product consistency, reduced waste, increased production efficiency, and enhanced sustainability.
“At HELLENiQ Petroleum, we continuously seek technologies that strengthen operational excellence and support our sustainability objectives. The successful deployment of HYPPOS AI shows how advanced artificial intelligence can be translated into measurable improvement inside an operating industrial plant, enabling better decision-making, improved quality control, and more efficient use of energy and materials”, said Dr. Aristi Bachtsi, Chemicals Production & Distribution Manager, HELLENiQ Petroleum S.A. “We are pleased that this collaboration with Hyperion Systems Engineering has been recognized through the Industrial Best Practice Award. It reflects the commitment, expertise, and close cooperation of both teams in delivering practical innovation with real industrial impact.”
“This award is important because it recognizes proven industrial impact, not just technological potential,” noted Evangelos Alepochoritis, CEO, HYPPOS AI. “HYPPOS AI demonstrates what can be achieved when advanced artificial intelligence is combined with deep process engineering expertise and a customer committed to innovation. We are grateful to HELLENiQ ENERGY for their trust and outstanding collaboration.”
HYPPOS AI combines advanced machine learning, first-principles engineering knowledge, and real-time process analytics to support operators in optimizing production, improving product quality, reducing energy consumption, and minimizing environmental impact. The award further validates Hyperion Systems Engineering’s strategy of developing explainable, industrial-grade AI solutions for the process industries.
The recognition comes shortly after Hyperion Systems Engineering secured funding under the INNOVATE/0525 Call of the Cyprus Research and Innovation Foundation to further extend the capabilities of HYPPOS AI. Together, these developments mark a period of strong momentum for the company, combining continued investment in next-generation industrial AI with independent validation of its successful application in commercial operations.
“Innovation succeeds through collaboration,” added Dr. Symeon Kassianides, Chairman & CEO, Hyperion Systems Engineering Group. “This achievement belongs to the engineers, operators, and project teams from both organizations who turned an ambitious concept into an industrial reality delivering measurable benefits every day. We see this recognition as motivation to continue advancing AI solutions that help industry become more competitive, efficient, and sustainable.”
As manufacturers accelerate their digital transformation journeys, artificial intelligence is becoming an essential enabler of operational excellence and sustainable industrial growth. This award represents another milestone in Hyperion Systems Engineering’s mission to establish industrial AI as a trusted, measurable, and sustainable technology for the future of process manufacturing.
