To be a leading 'player' today's specialty chemicals environment, overcoming these challenges is crucial to staying competitive and ensuring the entire supply chain is optimized.

In the Pharma Times article “Working in Silos” AspenTech’s Justin Eames discusses the pitfalls of working in silos in the pharmaceutical industry and explains how AspenTech’s solutions can make an impact at speed using predictive analytics. Discover how to predict asset degradation and failure well in advance of an impending breakdown or disruption and gain the ability to make decisions that can not only minimize cost and disruption, but that can also protect public health by ensuring continuity and resulting quality of drug supply.

Prescriptive maintenance technology is transforming how companies increase asset availability. With more advance warning of equipment failures comes more opportunity to mitigate the negative impact of those events.

After an electrical storm stopped gas production at one of its plants, SABIC executives and reliability engineers turned to Aspen Fidelis Reliability to calculate the probability of it—or a similarly debilitating event—happening again. Read this article from Plant Services to learn more.

This article, featured in The Chemical Engineer, discusses why operators often struggle to know where to begin to digitally transform. AspenTech's Paige Morse outlines how many operations, particularly in specialties, have become increasingly complex as customers demand higher levels of performance and quality and a greater range of options from producers. Operators realize they need to diversify product lines to meet these increasingly sophisticated needs. Download this article to learn more.
