Leading chemical companies across the globe face more competitive pressures with volatile market conditions and a rapidly changing workforce pushing the demand for increased sustainability and profitability. Digital twin software offers new levels of operational excellence through enterprise-wide insights that drive improved business operations.

In this session from OPTIMIZE™ 21, learn how how Polymer Digital Twin models built by Equinox Software and Services Pvt. Ltd. (EQNX) helped build capabilities at a Greenfield Polymer manufacturing facility. The Digital Twin Process models using Aspen Plus® were deployed prior to the plant commissioning, helping the Operations team to quickly build capabilities for Polymer manufacturing enabling agility, collaboration and profitability from the first day of operations of the integrated refinery, petrochemical and polymer complex.

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.

Agile has traditionally been used for software product development, however, it can also be applied as a key enabler for supply chain transformation. Hexion, a global specialty chemical company, has applied Agile to improve supply chain processes, driven by Sales and Operations Execution (S&OE), across 45 global production sites.

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?
