Germany-based company ECM Ingenieur-Unternehmen für Energie- Und Umwelttechnik GmbH has established itself as a leading EPC (engineering, procurement, construction) partner and provider of engineering services in the process industry. A subsidiary of Kraftanlagen Energies & Services SE, ECM has set itself the goal of digitalizing the full plant planning process with a particular focus on sustainability and cross-system engineering.
Since 2021, ECM has enjoyed a close and trusting partnership with AUCOTEC AG that has been built around collaboration on numerous projects and a close working relationship. The aim of the partnership is to develop future-oriented solutions for the process industry and consistently drive forward digitalization in the sector.
Engineering with an eye to the future
ECM uses the cooperation platform Engineering Base from AUCOTEC to meet the exacting demands of the process industry. Playing a headline role here are both the technology itself and the added value ECM gives its customers through the combination of innovative software and comprehensive service.
“Our customers benefit from an integrative engineering approach that is based on cutting-edge tools, and above all on our many years of experience and our expertise,” says Heino Eiynck, Head of ECM Area North. “The partnership with AUCOTEC allows us to not only increase the efficiency of our projects but also to develop future-focused and sustainable solutions that cover the entire life cycle of a plant.”
A partnership that brings added value to the process industry
For ECM, using Engineering Base is not just a technical decision, it’s also part of an integrated engineering concept that is based on the needs of its customers. Thanks to the close working relationship with AUCOTEC, ECM can offer its customers a seamless solution that both enhances planning quality and shortens project run times – and that’s an important factor in the planning and implementation of turn-key projects.
“Engineering Base helps us to make customer projects more efficient and, at the same time, to further improve the quality of our services,” adds Peter Schwarz, EMSR Department Head at ECM. “Further added value is created in the way we use this technology in our projects and how we apply this technology to the specific requirements of our customers.”
Within the partnership, ECM serves as a bridge to the plant operators and ensures that the solutions implemented respond to needs both now and in the future. Teaming up with AUCOTEC, the company offers its customers a sophisticated engineering concept that is based on the digital twin and creates long-term benefits – i.e. a high level of planning quality, more efficient processes and future-proof solutions.
