Pathway A · Powered by CVO™
Digital Transformation & Optimization
Turn data into dollars. We bring Advanced Process Control, AI and dynamic modelling online to lift availability, reliability and profit across your brownfield operations, PCS upgrades and greenfield expansions.
Automation + Process Knowledge
Solving real operational challenges
High-performing plants begin with a clear understanding of the challenges, and data is the foundation of the solution. We combine business and technical expertise across Oil & Gas, Chemicals and Power Generation with advanced analytics and connectivity to transform insight into impact.
Bringing CVO™ online isn’t a cost, it’s a return. From day-one upgrades to long-term expansion, here’s where Owner/Operators see the value. Expand each to see what it means for your bottom line.
ROI — Increased return on PCS upgrades
A process control system upgrade shouldn’t just keep the lights on, it should pay for itself. By layering CVO™ optimization onto your upgrade, we turn a capital expense into a revenue generator, unlocking latent capacity and lifting throughput from assets you already own. The result is a faster payback and an upgrade your CFO actually wants to approve.
Feasibility — Enhanced PCS upgrade business case
Struggling to justify the upgrade? We strengthen the business case before you commit a dollar. CVO™ modelling quantifies the availability, reliability and profit gains up front, so you walk into the investment decision with hard numbers instead of hopeful estimates, and the confidence to move forward.
Autonomy — Toward autonomous operations
Reduce reliance on heroics and tribal knowledge. CVO™ moves your facility steadily toward autonomous operations, where advanced process control and AI handle routine optimization and disturbance rejection in real time. Your best people stop firefighting and start focusing on the decisions that genuinely need them.
Expansion — Greenfield expansion ROI
Growth shouldn’t mean repeating old mistakes. On greenfield projects, CVO™ bakes optimization into the design from the start, so new capacity comes online faster, runs closer to its limits sooner, and delivers a higher return than a conventionally engineered build.
What We Optimize
Business + Operations + Maintenance in one platform
CVO™ doesn’t just improve one part of your facility. It optimizes the entire value chain by connecting business objectives with operational reality.
01
Business Optimization
Revenue and feedstock optimization; strategy, tax, finance and partnership management; SAP integration and real-time decision support.
02
Operations & Maintenance
Asset availability and reliability, production planning and scheduling, predictive maintenance, product quality and SCM management.
03
Manufacturing Planning & Integration (MPI™)
Turns strategic production plans into optimized, tangible results, maximizing daily profit while minimizing daily cost.
04
Continuous Decision Support
Scenario support incorporating advanced process models, real-time optimizers, contracts and feedstock, keeping you in a robust operating window.
Efficiencies Gained
Optimize across the whole plant
MPI™ drives measurable efficiencies everywhere value is created, and everywhere cost hides. From power and feedstock to flaring and emissions, CVO™ and MPI™ drive measurable efficiencies everywhere value is created, and everywhere cost hides.
Power
Lower energy use per unit of output
Chemicals
Optimized dosing and consumption
Catalyst
Extended life, better yield

Less flared, more recovered
Emissions
Lower output, easier compliance
Your Command & Support Centre
Optimized for the ABB environment
The CVO™ toolset is built to run on ABB’s System 800xA — far more than a DCS. It’s an integration platform delivering process, safety and power automation alongside historian, device and asset management for truly collaborative operations.
Turn data into dollars
Experienced process experts implementing APC and AI controls to run your plant at peak performance.
Robust by design
Disturbance rejection, predictability and stability keep operations resilient against volatility.
