Leverage an integrated solution to enable global project execution across the engineering workflow to save significant time and expense.
aspenONE Engineering is an integrated set of software solutions designed to help E&C (Engineering & Construction) companies deliver greater value to their clients in the process industries. Using aspenONE Engineering, you can deliver projects faster and cheaper while collaborating more closely with customers and vendors -- all while improving engineering quality.
aspenONE Engineering will help you address competitive pressures by adopting new engineering work processes, including global worksharing and more concurrent engineering. It will also enable you to expand beyond your traditional role during design and construction, and embrace new ways of adding value throughout the facility lifecycle.
These changes involve better controlling the creation, capture, management and provision of engineering knowledge throughout the plant lifecycle. From the earliest conceptual design through operation and decommissioning, you will need to manage the flow of data, documents, models, designs, and engineering changes. You will need to do it across national, departmental, and corporate boundaries. And you must achieve it economically.
aspenONE Engineering leverages a single platform to manage cooperative design and engineering in a changing world. It provides the structured backbone you need to implement best-in-class engineering tools, structured workflows, and best practices throughout the enterprise. And because its property data, engineering tools, and computational techniques are de facto industry standards, it facilitates efficient deployment and sharing of engineering knowledge among business partners.
Critical Business and Operational Issues
Improve internal work processes. With intense global competition and cost pressures, you must continually improve the effectiveness of your internal project engineering and execution capabilities. In addition to reusing existing knowledge and designs, aspenONE for Engineering & Construction enables you to create workflow structures that embed best practices throughout the organization.
Reduce engineering errors and rework. The use of a single set of engineering information, documentation, and tools improves engineering consistency and quality while reducing re-work and project cycle times. Powerful simulations enable you to catch mistakes and mismatched components before the first steel goes into the ground.
Deliver value-added services. EPCs develop rich engineering information and knowledge during design and construction phase. Yet they are rarely leveraged effectively during plant operation and manufacturing execution. aspenONE for Engineering & Construction enables you to reuse this valuable information for operator training, real-time optimization, equipment and process performance systems, and other value-added products at relatively low incremental cost.
Communicate better with partners. The use of industry-standard tools expedites the smooth transfer of engineering information among customers and vendors. All engineering teams, no matter their location, have access to the same timely information and consistent tools. Data formats and applications are all compatible. Not only are communications clearer and faster, but revisions require less re-work to integrate into existing models and documents.
Key Capabilities and Technologies
Best-in-class engineering tools. aspenONE Engineering toolsets model a wide range of processes. The toolset shares common property data and yields internally consistent models capable of interacting with one another at the unit, process, and facility level.
Accurate cost estimates. Rather than rely on cost multipliers, aspenONE for Engineering & Construction uses the industry's most comprehensive cost database and rules- based software to accurately scope projects, predict expenses, and generate detailed cost breakdowns. This enables you to focus on critical cost issues during early design, when they have the most impact on total project cost.
Multiple workteam support. aspenONE Engineering acts as a central repository for just-in-time access to all engineering data, documents, and models. It supports re-use of data and designs, global worksharing, and change management among multiple task groups in organizations located around the world.
Universally accepted property data. Precise property descriptions of pure components and complex mixtures are critical to design decisions, plant operations, and safety. aspenONE Engineering offers the industry's most complete and widely accepted range of physical property databases. It also provides tools to generate properties from laboratory data or estimate them from minimal information.
Open platforms. No one company can support the enormous array of equipment and chemistry used by global process industries. That's why aspenONE Engineering is an open system. It supports product extensions using custom and third-party technology. You can preserve your investment in proprietary software that already meets your needs while benefiting from the consistency and connectivity of a larger environment.
