Case Study: Nynas improves refinery asset information management with Hexagon PPM

Nynas manages 200,000 documents with Hexagon PPM

Nynas, a global oil refining company specializing in naphthenic specialty products and bitumen, faced challenges with a legacy document management system at its Nynäshamn refinery. The system lacked intelligence, automated workflows, and robust tag management, making version control difficult and documentation accuracy uncertain. This hindered collaboration between engineering and operations and made the handover of information a significant challenge. To overcome this, Nynas turned to Hexagon PPM for a new data-centric solution.

Hexagon PPM implemented its Asset Lifecycle Intelligence solutions, including SmartPlant Foundation, to digitalize asset lifecycle information management. This provided a single version of the truth for all engineering data, enabling automated workflows for management of change and seamless handover from projects to operations. The results included enhanced efficiency by eliminating time spent searching for documents, improved decision-making, and reduced operational risk. The system now manages hundreds of thousands of documents and over 69,000 tags, with daily users across multiple departments. Hexagon PPM's solutions provided a connected, collaborative environment that made data management transparent and trustworthy.
