We announce ...

… a collaboration that combines PSE’s

Advanced Process Modelling technology with

Siemens’ process automation systems to bring a

new era in digitalization.

A successful exploration today results in a strategic collaboration

between Siemens and PSE in the area of process design, process

simulation and optimization, from concept to production.
