Wacker Chemie Implements Cloud-Based Engineering Solutions

This customer case study outlines the implementation of AVEVA Unified Engineering by Wacker Chemie, a German chemicals company, to enhance operational efficiency in its engineering processes. The study details the challenges faced by Wacker Chemie, including inconsistent and outdated 3D plant models and decentralized data hosting, which required excessive administrative efforts. The adoption of cloud-based solutions facilitated global access, reduced administration efforts by 25%, and significantly improved the speed of 3D project ramp-up by 40%. Furthermore, it allowed for enhanced project flexibility and scalability. The case study also presents how the integration of AVEVA Point Cloud Manager contributed to the creation of a digital twin, improving data security and collaboration across global teams. The document highlights Wacker Chemie’s plans to expand the use of these cloud solutions in different regions, including the United States and Asia-Pacific, to replicate these efficiency gains.
