AVEVA Announces New Global Agreement with Covestro to Transform Process Engineering and Simulation
20 May 2019: AVEVA, a global leader in engineering and industrial software, announces that Covestro, one of the world’s largest high-tech polymer companies, 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 to increase efficiency and allow its engineers to focus on innovation and develop new solutions to complex problems.
Process simulation is the virtual modelling of production processes designed to help engineers understand their operations better and enable them to predict performance and optimise processes with a high degree of accuracy.
With AVEVA SimCentral Simulation Platform, Covestro employees will be able to collaborate seamlessly across projects, engineering disciplines and locations with the potential to drive further productivity and efficiency gains. It is the first 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 a single easy-to-use environment that spans the entire plant lifecycle.

“AVEVA’s SimCentral Simulation Platform will help us to fundamentally change the way we use process simulation software from conceptual design to the engineering and operation of our plants. It’s a key part of our journey to digitally transform our production” said Dr. Frank Döbert, Head of Production and Technology, Coatings, Adhesives and Specialties at Covestro. “AVEVA has the right technology, the right people, the right understanding of our industry and business and the right business mindset to be a valuable global strategic partner.”
