In order to gain higher efficiency in plant processes, BASF set up an innovation project with Siemens to develop fast optimization from idea to implementation. The challenge? Combining different digital tools from
automation and engineering domains to a full integrated system with the continuity
from the simulation model to E&I planning and deployment in the process
control system
Full
automation of interface between COMOS, SIMATIC PCS 7 and SIMIT
Common
data management in COMOS
Integration
of automation and modeling
Planning
and testing of plant modifications / extensions in the digital twin,
before it is implemented in the real plant (e.g. risk reduction)
Machine-processible
delta information for interfaces between COMOS and gPROMS for
use case scenarios
We have shown that digitalized work
processes make it much easier to implement optimization measures. This
ultimately enables us to apply our ideas faster so that we end up with more
efficient production.

Higher
transparency and flexibility by availability of all information across the
entire plant lifecycle
Planning,
simulation and application data kept consistent across tools
Shortened
development times thanks to Digital Twin
Maintaining
competitiveness through constant optimization of production processes
Saving
of time and costs and reduction of efforts and errors
