2020 Green Supply Chain Award

AspenTech Awarded Green Supply Chain Award Two Years in a Row

For industrial organizations, IoT sensors can offer unprecedented insight into what's happening inside vats, pipelines and manufacturing processes. Insights such as temperature, flow rates and chemical composition can be measured against infinite variables, and even captured and analyzed in real-time to discover new opportunities…and potential problems.

Recently AspenTech and the ARC Advisory Group conducted a study on the circular economy among industrial manufacturers. Early results indicate that complex supply chains and proven technologies are the most significant barriers to achieving circular economy goals with 75% of respondents believing digital capabilities are essential.

Aspen Refinery Multi-Blend Optimizer is a multi-blend optimization tool that can be used for seamless scheduling and optimization of product blending.

GSK wanted to review the structure of its batch production record and associated workflows as part of a continuous improvement process. AspenTech was selected for this process due to integration with other solutions, such as Aspen InfoPlus.21® and GSK’s existing plant automation software (DCS). The pilot project was a resounding success, reducing order preparation time by 95% and record review time by over 50%. Read this case study to learn more.
