Siemens Opcenter Formulation

About Siemens Opcenter Formulation

Engineering Industries eXcellence partners with Siemens to automate and enable efficient formula management for manufacturers across a number of different process sectors, including Food & Beverage, Pharmaceutical and Cosmetics. Opcenter Formulation (formerly known as Formula Workbench within the Siemens SIMATIC IT R&D Suite) is a leading technology platform from Siemens designed to help enterprises easily develop and manage new formulations, while taking regulatory, consumer and supply chain constraints into account at the same time. Opcenter Formulation also enables the simulation of product performance factors (e.g. cost, nutritional profile, viscosity, etc.) in real time based on new and/or changed formula specifications.
