Engineering Base to modularize across disciplines is a particular focus for Sunfire .” Sunfire employs highly standardized modules that can be ‘ clicked together ,’ scaling plants through module multiplication .
Aside from modularization , the overall package was convincing for the hydrogen specialist from Germany . In addition to seamless object orientation and clear navigation possibilities between disciplines , the functionalities of Engineering Base along the entire engineering process were compelling – from the FEED phase to process engineering and EMSR technology .
Trailblazer for the energy transition
Companies that standardize recurring plant components benefit enormously from modular designs : these shorten planning and design times and optimize their processes . Especially for companies that view their plants as products rather than projects – such as electrolyzer planners – modularization offers decisive advantages .
For operators of these plants , modularization plays a secondary role . Nevertheless , operators also benefit greatly from a digital twin that provides reliable as-built documentation and an interdisciplinary plant model . Engineering Base enables this through direct development within the system or through integration and digital enhancement of existing data . The digital twin always remains up-to-date , allowing both manufacturers and operators of plants to focus more on essentials : building better plants faster and making more hydrogen-ready facilities operational with green hydrogen .
Key technology for the potential of green energy
With Engineering Base , Aucotec positions itself as a leading partner in the Power-to-X and hydrogen industries . The platform combines data centricity , modularization , and digital twins , enabling companies to achieve not only significantly shorter development times but also groundbreaking scalability and efficiency . Aucotec provides the key technology to fully unlock the potential of green energy and actively drive the transition to a sustainable future .
Last but not least , the Power-to-X and hydrogen industries are still at the development stage and face the challenge of creating sustainable and scalable structures . For young industries , it is crucial to rely on structured and data-driven processes early to remain competitive in the long term . Data forms the basis for innovative business models like predictive maintenance , AIsupported analyses , precise lifecycle cost calculations , and utilization forecasts . With its structured data , Engineering Base provides a future-proof foundation for efficiently tapping into these potentials and advancing the industry .
