Aspen Mtell is a prescriptive maintenance solution that uses Agents to recognize asset failures earlier and with greater accuracy. Learn what an Agent is, what they do, how they are created, and how they work—to help you put an end to unplanned downtime and achieve your production goals.

Across the globe, leading organizations are embracing and implementing advanced digital technologies and the industrial metaverse. This industrial digital transformation journey will change the nature of asset intensive industries, particularly the energy and chemicals businesses. In that context, digital twins — virtualized copies of physical assets and their operating behaviors — will play key roles.

Hydrocarbon Processing Editor-in-Chief and Associate Publisher, Lee Nichols, discusses with Paul Donnelly, AspenTech Industry Marketing Director how EPC firms are adopting and using new digital technologies, and most importantly, how these technologies are improving return on investment for these organizations.

EPC firms that were already under stress from the COVID-related downturn are investing heavily in digitalization initiatives. According to a June 2020 McKinsey report, EPCs have an opportunity to double their profitability by embracing a handful of “emerging disruptors.” One of these disruptors, digitalization of processes, is within reach for most EPCs and aligns with efforts and initiatives already underway at many firms.

As predictive and prescriptive analytics become better understood across industries, companies are putting new focus on maintenance maturity and the use of digital technologies. They’re realizing that having a robust maintenance program means leveraging APM technology—and their data—to the fullest advantage.
