System Solutions

ACo understands the needs of the process industry. We combine our long experience in systems solutions, our high quality standards, and our understanding of process industry needs to achieve profitable projects for our customers.

ACo specializes in system solutions centered around Aspen Tech's InfoPlus.21 Real Time Database (RDTB). We have over 15 years of system solutions experience for Setcon, InfoPlus, InfoPlus-X, and IP.21. We also integrate systems from a wide variety of venders and applications to Real-Time Database (RTDB) based systems.

ACo solution experience covers the entire refinery from crude to finished products, as well as the power plants needed to run these units, the steam generation, waste water treatment, related petrochemical plants and the interfaces to and from external systems.

ACo solution experience encompasses bulk terminals: oil, vegatable, and chemical. We understand this "contract to cash" service business from initial contract through processing to final invoicing (and occassionally dispute resolution).

ACo solution experience includes plastics. We appreciate the batch process particulars from initial order through execution to final product specficiation and delivery, while always trying to achieve that "Golden Batch".

In all of these industries, ACo understands and appreciates the similarities and differences between the different business types, particularly the differences and overlaps between pure batch processes, continuous processes, and hybrids.

ACo solution experience covers the supply chain and the planning and scheduling necessary for each of these industries, from monthly LP runs to hold and restart actions in the DCS. We understand who should be involved in what roles, how actions at different times and by different users affect the rest of system, and what needs to be done in each situation.

ACo understands the connections and interdependencies with upstream, downstream, and parallel systems. Whether it is an ERP, LIMS, Data Reconciliation, Yield Accounting, or a separate Production Accounting system, ACo has the experience and knowledge to bring together a benefit generating solution in a profitable project.
