Not only is it important for Hitachi Zosen Corporation to be on the forefront of innovative products that are useful to society and technology, but they also want to ensure each product allows clients to retain a competitive edge with traditional products and other emerging technologies.

Ron Beck speaks to the power of a model based estimating system providing insight to its attributes like reusable templates and saleable features. How does ACCE differ from my proprietary Excel-based spreadsheets?

Adoption of ACCE can easily follow a known process that leverages organizational alignment, implementation of the software and a change in workflow processes that maximizes benefits.

Six tips are offered that speak to the strengths of ACCE: Eliminated manual tasks, automates repeated tasks, handles change management, leverages historical content and starts the estimating process leveraging conceptual engineering.

Wildfires are no longer just a seasonal threat — they’re a year-round crisis reshaping the way utilities must plan and operate.

Advanced Process Control (APC) continues to evolve, and AspenTech’s nonlinear APC capabilities are redefining what’s possible.

Frequent changes in refinery operating conditions cause planning models to fall out of sync with actual conditions, making them less reliable. At the same time, updating these models is complex, often forcing refineries to turn to expensive third-party consultants.

Maximizing energy efficiency and minimizing CO2 emissions remain critical goals for the process industries. Now you can leverage pinch technology from within the process simulation environment to identify opportunities to significantly lower energy use and reduce your carbon footprint.

Oil refineries are complex operations with tight margins, constantly adapting to changing crude types and product demands. Rigorous process simulation software like Aspen HYSYS® provides vital insights to manage these challenges effectively.
