Simulation use cases for process industries: Reduce risk and improve performance

Simulation helps process industries validate automation, test changes and prepare operators with less risk. This brief explores key use case scenarios, including process automation validation, continuous testing, validation of modifications, virtual commissioning and operator training. It also addresses common challenges such as costly modifications, manual testing, downtime and operational risk.

Some examples of how simulation can improve quality, efficiency and plant performance across the lifecycle include:

• Validate process automation before deployment
• Automate continuous testing and reduce human error
• Validate plant and process modifications before implementation
• Accelerate commissioning and reduce operational risk
• Prepare operators with realistic virtual training
