Aspen Unified Scheduling™
Increase margins, improve stability and save scheduler time by aligning planning and scheduling in one modern, web-based environment.
Turn Optimal Plans into Executable Refinery Schedules
Align Scheduling and Planning to Reduce Margin Leakage
Intuitive User Interface
Build Models Faster with Common Planning and Scheduling Data
Develop a scheduling model from your existing Unified PIMS model, then link data and models between planning and scheduling with model catalogs.
Automatically Generate Crude and Blend Schedules
Volatile crude markets, shifting demand and constant operational changes make refinery scheduling complex. Aspen Unified Scheduling empowers your team to:
- Connect planning targets with real-time operations
- Build feasible, up-to-date schedules faster
- Run "what-if" scenarios and evaluate constraints instantly
- Optimize crude scheduling and blending seamlessly
Crude Schedule Optimization
- Automatically generates a crude schedule aligned with the economically optimal plan and within safety and logistics constraints
- Improves refinery margins by automating time-intensive manual workflows
- Enables refineries to respond more quickly to market volatility
Multi-Blend Optimization
- Simultaneously optimizes the recipe of each individual batch of blended product within the time horizon
- Optimizes product qualities and operational constraints to ensure compliance with specifications
- Enables refineries to reduce quality giveaway, lower blend component costs and improve profitability
Energy and chemical companies seek better efficiency, collaboration and profitability but often rely on Excel for scheduling, leading to inefficiencies.
