Agenda
Overview of Aspen Unified Scheduling (AUS): - Introduction to AUS & Workflow- Understanding the new interface and capabilities that improve usability and adoption - Explore benefits of Integrating Planning & Scheduling - Leveraging integrated planning and scheduling to improve feasibility and reduce rework. Integrating AUP and AUS models to enable consistent, executable schedules - Using the Catalog feature to standardize models and accelerate deployment across sites AUS Model Development - Designing flowsheets that accurately represent operational constraints - Configuring multisite models to reflect interdependencies and material flows - Managing work areas, model data, and settings to support scalable scheduling - Applying role-based settings to enable collaboration while maintaining governance Workshop 1: Create and configure an AUS flowsheet aligned with real operating scenarios Event Creation & Scheduling - Defining event types and details to drive realistic scheduling outcomes - Learn about Scheduling process such as process unit scheduling, blend scheduling, single segment pipeline scheduling, etc - Explore latest feature ‘Inventory grid work area’ to monitor availability and constraints - Learn how to interpret AUS trends to understand schedule behavior and bottlenecks - Leveraging case management to compare scenarios and respond to change Workshop 2: Import and create events, apply scheduling techniques, and evaluate results Introduction to Aspen Virtual Advisor (AVA) - Explore use and benefits of AVA to analyze scheduling results and identify improvement opportunities - Learn how AVA can help in performing post optimization analysis and sensitivity analysis to improve economic gains and productivity of assets. Workshop 3: Run AVA analysis and interpret insights for decision support Reporting & Integration APIs - Explore different methodologies and modes of Data import into AUS and understand how AUS processes and stores data for traceability - Learn how to export data from AUS and how the exported data can be used for enterprise reporting and analytics. - Leverage use of integration APIs to connect AUS with external systems and workflows - Automate Business Processes using AspenTech Workflow leveraging Unified APIs Demo: Integration with external sources for data import, export and reporting, walk through of Workflow |
