AkzoNobel, a materials organization in the Netherlands, uses E3D from AVEVA to support virtual testing for analysts and design leads.
Value results
| Category | Value result |
|---|---|
| Productivity | Fewer stalled items because simulation has a clear owner |
| Productivity | Handoffs in virtual testing sit in a shared queue instead of a mailbox trail |
| Capability | New joiners can see how virtual testing actually runs |
Story
Materials work at AkzoNobel spans more than one site, even when headquarters sits in the Netherlands. Simulation was splitting across regional habits. Analysts and design leads asked for a shared way to run virtual testing without freezing local judgment.
AVEVA (E3D) is what they standardized on. AVEVA, part of Schneider Electric, provides industrial software for engineering, operations, and real-time data, including the PI System. AkzoNobel uses it as the system of record for simulation, with analysts and design leads as the primary operators and other groups coming in through the same queue.
Leaders get a picture they can actually walk. Teams get fewer mystery statuses. The story is about operating change, not an unpublished percentage.
