Evonik Oxeno Optimizes Operator Training with Honeywell Workforce Competency

How a leading specialty chemicals producer uses immersive simulation to build operator competency -without disrupting 24/7 production

Continuous chemical operations demand highly skilled operators - but some critical procedures happen only once every few years. Learn how Evonik Oxeno addressed this challenge by implementing Honeywell Workforce Competency, enabling realistic, simulation‑based training that supports safety, knowledge transfer, and operational excellence.

In this case study, you’ll discover how Evonik Oxeno:

  • Trains console operators on complex and infrequent procedures such as shutdowns, startups, and emergencies
  • Builds and maintains operator competency without interfering with live production
  • Uses a full‑function operator training system (OTS) that realistically emulates the plant’s existing DCS
  • Supports knowledge capture and succession planning as experienced employees approach retirement
  • Improves readiness, confidence, and consistency across control room operations

 

“With the Honeywell training system we can teach people these infrequent steps and build their competency without disrupting our 24/7 production schedule.”
– Stephan Peitz, Plant Superintendent, Evonik Oxeno
