AVEVA to help Covestro digitize process engineering workflow

May 20, 2019 – AVEVA announced that Covestro, a polymer company, has signed a multi-million Euro agreement to help digitally transform Covestro’s entire process engineering workflow.
Covestro chose AVEVA’s SimCentral Simulation Platform as a single solution to replace legacy systems across the plant lifecycle.
Process simulation is the virtual modelling of production processes designed to help engineers understand their operations and enable them to predict performance and optimize processes.
With AVEVA SimCentral Simulation Platform, Covestro employees will be able to collaborate across projects, engineering disciplines and locations with the potential to drive further productivity and efficiency gains. It is a process simulation platform developed from the ground up to support steady-state, fluid-flow and dynamic modelling. It also integrates with engineering design tools in an environment that spans the entire plant lifecycle.
Covestro provides its polymer materials for a range of applications ranging from insulation for refrigerators and entire buildings, laptop and cell phone cases to scratch-resistant and fast-drying vehicle coatings and soft foams for furniture and car interiors. By replacing traditional materials with durable, environmentally-compatible equivalents, Covestro’s materials and application solutions are being used in many areas of modern life.
