Case Study: AkzoNobel achieves streamlined engineering change management with BlueCielo

Managing Engineering Information Changes at Akzonobel

AkzoNobel Industrial Chemicals, Europe’s largest producer of vacuum salt and a leading supplier of chlorine-alkali products, needed a better way to manage engineering change, document ownership, and access critical asset information across its global operations. Using BlueCielo Meridian, AkzoNobel aimed to replace outdated document management processes and improve the integrity of its as-built environment.

BlueCielo implemented BlueCielo Meridian with the Asset Management Module and Advanced Project Workflow, integrated with SAP PM and other engineering applications, to standardize change management and link documents to assets. The result was a clear, controlled process for concurrent projects, better separation of master and work documents, and faster access to maintenance information—cutting retrieval time from minutes to seconds while improving data quality and operational efficiency.
