Bridging the Gap between Scheduling & Operations with Unified Supply Chain and Operations Execution Management
One Business, One Tool

From feedstock data management, trading, plant, and network optimisation, to scheduling and process unit monitoring, a single source of knowledge allows enterprises to share and communicate decisions between diverse teams, and across global locations. The result is a solution that better explores opportunities, reduces operational risk, and shrinks the gap between plan and actual results.

Hermetic Feedthroughs for
Magnetic Bearing Chiller Compressors
Magnetic bearings help chiller compressors reach new levels of efficiency. These high-tech bearings, however, need extra signal connections thorugh the pressurized compressor housing. Epoxy-based hermetic feedthroughs can facilitate those signal—and power—connections without driving cost or compromising design freedom.
