    "excerpt": "New software solutions integrate planning and scheduling processes to accelerate decision-making ST. LOUIS , July 16, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Global automation leader Emerson (NYSE: EMR ) has introduced software that automates two of refining's most time-intensive and margin-critical processes: crude scheduling and product blending. The new solutions enable refineries to increase operating margins, improve efficiency and respond faster to market changes. Customers use Aspen Unified Scheduling™ (AUS) to eliminate the disconnected tools and manual data gathering that make scheduling harder during volatile markets. AUS now adds two new products – Crude Schedule Optimization and Multi-Blend Optimization – that bring planning, scheduling and blending into one platform. As a result, customers can turn optimal plans into realistic schedules fast enough to keep up with changing market conditions. \"Refinery schedulers are managing more complexity and greater crude market volatility, with the same hours in the day,\" said Claudio Fayad, chief technology officer at Emerson's Aspen Technology business. \"By automating the most time-intensive workflows within a unified platform, our solutions free experienced teams to focus on higher-value decisions while enabling newer engineers to contribute faster. The result is stronger margins and better operational decisions across the organization.\"...",
