Faced with new levels of complexity, disruptions and pressure to meet customer demands, chemical supply chains have been tested as never before in recent years. In addition, there is the growing challenge to achieve net zero targets while maintaining sustainable, profitable operations.

With dynamic market conditions, tight profit margins and stringent emission targets, process industries are facing a dual challenge of achieving ambitious sustainability goals while meeting growth targets. Companies must chart a course to rapidly overcome these challenges in a volatile market.

Sustainability remains top-of-mind for most executives as they work to balance environmental concerns with business performance. Digital solutions have emerged as a key enabler to help companies make progress toward their sustainability goals.

While most chemical companies have sustainability initiatives in place with varying reliance on digital technologies to achieve these goals, challenges remain. What are the key enablers to eliminate emissions and waste, extend material use and regenerate natural systems? How do new innovations accelerate this effort?

Widely used in various chemical manufacturing processes, inferential property models enable improved control by providing estimated properties in real-time. During this webinar, one of Dow Chemical’s APC engineers will discuss the practical application of inferential models as feed forwards in Aspen DMCplus® to manage the inventory of a reactor where the composition and flows into the recycle feed change over time.

La Transformación Digital busca el uso de tecnología para ayudarlo a lograr sus metas: Minimizar errores, maximizar producción, mejorar calidad de producto y servicio al cliente. La integración Vertical de tecnologías – también conocida como “Smart Manufacturing” o Industria 4.0 – sincroniza sistemas comerciales, como ordenes de producción del ERP, con sistemas de manufactura como los DCS, balanzas o lectores de códigos de barras. Este webinar le mostrará cómo puede reducir los errores de calidad del producto, los tiempos de ciclo de lotes y los costos operativos.

During this free webinar, Michael Reifer, leader of Momentive’s Sales, Inventory and Operations Planning (SIOP) Center of Excellence, and Aaron Hunt, SCM senior technical manager, will discuss how the company’s silicone and quartz business units excel at detailed scheduling and finite capacity optimization in both manufacturing and stock transfer scheduling. Additionally, they will share how Momentive’s SIOP Center of Excellence plays a key role in supporting sustainable talent and process development.

Digital transformation seeks to use technology to achieve your goals: fewer errors, more production, better product quality and improved customer service. The vertical integration of enterprise and IT technologies — also known as "smart manufacturing" or Industry 4.0 — synchronizes commercial systems, such as production orders from the ERP, with manufacturing systems like the DCS, weigh scales or barcode readers. This webinar will show you how can reduce product quality errors, batch cycle times and operating costs
