Aspen Technology, Inc. and Hexagon PPM announced a new level of collaboration founded on a memorandum of understanding (MoU) that will more closely align AspenTech’s conceptual, basic engineering and cost estimation solutions with the detailed engineering suite from Hexagon PPM, to enable a fully data-centric workflow across the asset lifecycle.

As a fully digital design and engineering process with integrated economic evaluation, AspenTech and Hexagon PPM suites align to help customers better manage the financial risks of complex projects, which is a major challenge today.  The combined capabilities can accelerate digital transformation and enable deployment of best-in-class integrated solutions from two leading software providers.

Working together, AspenTech and Hexagon PPM can provide a more complete digital twin, inclusive of both the plant infrastructure and the chemical processes occurring within that physical infrastructure, to allow operators to make better decisions that maximize throughput, quality and uptime.  AspenTech’s planning, scheduling and reliability software, coupled with the Hexagon PPM expertise for the detailed engineering phase of facility and plant design, will help operators more easily leverage engineering models during operations, obtain the most from their investments and allow them to respond better to changing market conditions.

The announcement came during the keynote speech of Hexagon PPM President Mattias Stenberg, at HxGN LIVE 2019 in Las Vegas, Hexagon’s annual digital solutions conference, where he was joined on stage by Antonio Pietri, president and chief executive officer of Aspen Technology.
