Optimizing Reliability and Maintenance Programs with AspenTech Pharma Suite

Empower Your Reliability and Maintenance Teams

AspenTech Pharma Suite offers a solution that optimizes maintenance programs for improved production and reduced overall costs by predicting and minimizing the impact of equipment downtime. This allows organizations to reduce maintenance costs by 20-30% per year and increase throughput by 1-5%. By leveraging the power of AI-driven prescriptive maintenance, businesses can enhance the precision of failure detection, extend the lead time for anticipating asset downtime events, and ultimately reduce maintenance expenses. Industrial companies worldwide are successfully implementing this scalable, user-friendly solution to drive best-in-class reliability.

Impact Key Business Processes to Drive Best-in-Class Reliability

The AspenTech Pharma Suite focuses on key processes like risk assessment, management, and optimization, asset failure mode mitigation, asset performance, and risk mitigation, as well as operational decision support. These modules evaluate plants at a system-wide level to optimize availability, uptime, efficiency, and capital. By modeling the risk to functional processes, analyzing the impact of equipment failures, and assessing spare parts holding and maintenance routines, organizations can make informed decisions to enhance reliability and minimize downtime.

Asset Failure Mode Mitigation

Through continuous 24/7 monitoring of key equipment and action-based prescriptive outcomes, the AspenTech Pharma Suite enables organizations to mitigate asset failures effectively. By leveraging data-driven predictive maintenance technology, businesses can gain early and accurate warnings of equipment failures, empowering proactive decision-making and reducing maintenance costs while enabling production gains.

Asset Performance & Risk Mitigation

Strategic insight into operational and maintenance actions is crucial for balancing cost with risk and establishing the optimal maintenance approach. The AspenTech Pharma Suite provides organizations with the tools to monitor asset health in real-time, predict and prevent equipment failures, and optimize maintenance strategies to maximize performance while minimizing risks.

Operational Decision Support

By utilizing outcome-based decision modeling and weighing risk and reward during operations, the AspenTech Pharma Suite optimizes energy and emissions management, production, and maintenance costs. With hundreds of system performance simulations, organizations can make data-driven decisions that drive operational excellence, increase asset reliability, and improve overall efficiency.
