Aspen Technology announced the availability of the 7.2 release of aspenONE software. Building on innovations delivered in aspenONE V7 and best practice input from users, the 7.2 release makes optimising engineering, manufacturing and supply chain processes faster and easier.
Examples include:
- Engineering – addressing the global increase in multibillion dollar "megaprojects," aspenONE Engineering software includes new economic evaluation functionality that allows large owner-operator and engineering companies to slash the amount of time it takes to produce accurate project estimates by as much as 75%. In addition, integrated economic evaluation is now up to four times faster in Aspen HYSYS and Aspen Plus software.
- Manufacturing – in the face of dynamic market conditions, aspenONE Advanced Process Control allows process manufacturers to sustain performance improvement benefits from advanced process control by reducing the time and effort required to maintain control applications at peak performance.
- Supply Chain – as government standards for gasoline blending specifications become more stringent, aspenONE Planning & Scheduling allows refineries to model true physical constraints for better blend optimisation. This is a critical step in improving margins and specification quality.
- Infrastructure – the new Aspen Reporting Framework provides operational intelligence for refineries that enables faster, more profitable decision-making.
The new features are the latest in a series of innovations delivered by aspenONE V7, which sets the standard for best practices in process optimisation.
"Since its initial release in September 2008, over 1,000 AspenTech customers have deployed aspenONE V7 to help improve profitability and achieve operational excellence goals. The 7.2 release incorporates hundreds of best practice ideas from our customer base. Now, it’s easier than ever for process industry companies to optimise engineering, manufacturing and supply chain processes for greater profitability."
