PROCESS SIMULATION
Digital simulation represents the move into the next industrial era
essential goal of process engineering, however, has traditionally been very difficult to analyse. Until now, sustainability metrics have not formed part of simulations but have relied on engineers using unsophisticated methods to analyse sustainability data – often leading to time- consuming and error-prone outcomes. Now technologies such as digital twins,
digital data transfers to main operating centres and on-premise or out in the field connected devices are enabling engineers to have instant insight into calculations such as carbon emissions and energy consumption, which map to key sustainability KPIs. The use of data through AI is making these sustainable process simulations not only possible but infinitely more reliable and fast. Through holistic simulation, sustainability is just one way in which engineers are using digital technologies to enjoy near real-time optimisation across a range of interconnected KPIs. Holistic simulation doesn’t just deliver on profitability and sustainability metrics but is
an essential part of ensuring better employee experiences. It facilitates unmanned and automated operations to reduce the time taken on tasks and, in turn, opens opportunities for more flexible working and improves safety. Digital solutions which can be accessed

from anywhere, delivering near-real-time insights removes tedious time spent on spreadsheets and frees process engineers to concentrate on true innovation. Surprises are minimised, and opportunities for creative collaboration are maximised. This all feeds into the employee experience that today’s
top talent expects. Process simulation enables the next generation of engineers to deliver increased outputs by digital tools that enable flexible, accessible and collaborative working. We need to have complete oversight of
operations to make the right decisions – not simply in terms of profitability but also sustainability, feasibility and employee wellbeing. Total simulation, therefore, delivers on all levels. It results in process, people and planet-friendly industrial progress.
