A Japanese pharma used Aspen Plus process modelling to understand a new API process and move to continuous production.

The company needed to improve synthesis of a new active pharmaceutical ingredient and develop a more efficient continuous approach. It adopted Aspen Plus simulation. The page states it gave an in-depth understanding of the API process, led to equipment improvements and optimized recipes, and enabled a continuous process. No quantitative figures are given.

AspenTech is an industrial software vendor whose process simulation, analytics and maintenance tools are used in pharma for continuous manufacturing, PAT and predictive maintenance

This sits in the Design & Stress-Test stage of the AI use-case lifecycle: Named examples from the tools pharma teams use to scope, prototype and benchmark an AI use case before committing to build it — data-catalog, sandbox and evaluation platforms.
