Emerson has released the flagship software of its Aspen Technology business. The release introduces a significant expansion of industrial AI capabilities, enhances user experience, provides new capabilities to accelerate progress toward sustainability goals and improves operational performance.
“By combining cutting-edge technology with practical tools for real-world challenges, the release of AspenTech v15 helps organizations unlock greater value from their operations and drive long-term performance improvements,” said Claudio Fayad, chief technology officer for Emerson’s Aspen Technology business.
Version 15 of AspenTech’s software offers expanded industrial AI capabilities, including generative AI (GenAI), and creates a more seamless and efficient user experience with streamlined integrations, enhanced visualizations and simplified workflows. The release also includes more than 175 sample models supporting sustainability-driven use cases, empowering users to make measurable progress toward decarbonization and resource efficiency goals.
New capabilities now available include the ability for subsurface science and engineering customers to break down silos and accelerate decision-making with AspenTech Subsurface Intelligence Beta, a cloud-native environment with AI-enhanced workflows and an intuitive user experience across all disciplines. In addition, the inclusion of AspenTech Cimphony Network Model Management in the Digital Grid Management suite enables utility customers to efficiently manage power system models with a data-driven network model manager that provides a persistent data storage layer for model-driven data, including the Common Information Model (CIM).
Additional highlights include expanded industrial AI offerings, such as precise analysis of reservoir changes using advanced machine learning techniques and automated generation of plant layout in Aspen OptiPlant 3D Layout for both brownfield and greenfield projects. Also, expanded AI capabilities in Aspen Virtual Advisor provide better understanding of model results and guidance on how to best proceed, both in support of higher margins and increased productivity.
Added user experience enhancements will streamline customer-utility interactions through the AspenTech Grid Apps™ web-based platform, and AspenTech Inmation will unlock online model deployment for Aspen Plus and Aspen HYSYS®
Sustainability initiatives will be accelerated with Aspen Plus and Aspen HYSYS now supporting circular economy, plastics recycling and green hydrogen efforts. Coupled with improvements to Aspen Supply Chain Planner™ for forecasting and visualizing emissions across the value chain, the enhancements will support improved sustainability across operations.
