Evonik Oxeno goes live with upgraded decision-centric planning platform

Simulation of scenarios enables data-driven

  • By ICN Bureau | September 04, 2025

OMP and Evonik Oxeno announce the successful go-live of a significant digital transformation milestone. The move of OMP’s Unison Planning to the cloud across Evonik Oxeno’s production sites in Marl and Antwerp. With this project going live, Oxeno elevates its planning capabilities into a new insight-driven, decision-centric planning era.

It’s the next evolution of a platform that has been live and delivering real results since April 2021. Over the last four years, Evonik Oxeno has embraced decision-centric planning, calculating 30 to 50 scenarios per day and nearly 10,000 simulations since the launch.

These scenarios allow teams to explore future possibilities and make informed, data-driven decisions across the company’s chemical value chain. The result is Oxeno being at the core of a supply chain that can respond to feedstock volatility, market shifts, or logistical risks while safeguarding business continuity and capturing opportunities.

The newly deployed version is a significant enhancement, built from the ground up based on four years of operational insight. It introduces a streamlined cloud environment, a purpose-built framework for continuous production, and more intelligent, low-friction workflows, making it easier and faster for planners to proactively optimize, simulate, compare, and act on complex scenarios.

While the core approach remains the same, the new version lowers the barriers to advanced planning. It accelerates the path to insight, empowering planners to focus more on strategic decision-making.

“We didn’t reinvent how we work, we just made it easier,” said Frank Beißmann, Managing Director at Evonik Oxeno. “With this new version, we’ve taken everything we’ve learned and turned it into a faster, more intuitive, and even more powerful platform supporting confident, proactive decisions.”
