Project Success Story

Schneider Electric, a global specialist in energy management and automation, today announced JFE Engineering has standardized its engineering process design workflow with Schneider Electric. As an existing SimSci user, JFE Engineering chose to upgrade to SimCentral to utilize its unified platform-based solution, which is designed to help improve efficiency, collaboration and the re-use of simulation assets.

In a world where process improvement and engineering design strategies are highly dynamic, it is imperative that engineering firms have the correct workflow to accommodate client needs for agility and accelerated response times. Schneider Electric’s SimCentral platform is designed for more agile process development within a modern software architecture that helps enable higher levels of performance improvement and collaboration.

An important benefit that JFE Engineering expects from their Schneider Electric solution has been to further simplify and streamline the engineering workflow through the integration of various simulation designs, including heat and material balances, hydraulic and sizing calculations and abnormal simulation scenarios. The capability of a rapid preliminary design during Front End Engineering Design (FEED) helps to add further efficiency. With one solution to address each of the process design phases, it is possible to help improve productivity and responsiveness, which can save JFE Engineering time and resources.

No two engineering design projects are the same based on unique requirements and attributes. A factor that led to JFE Engineering’s decision to pick SimCentral was based on how much it could be customized while delivering operational agility without sacrificing reliability. As a unified platform solution, all simulation tasks are modeled with a common data model, leading to a “single source of the truth” for data acquisition. This attribute helps to enable improved sharing, model re-use and greater collaboration.
