Aspen OptiRouter

Aspen OptiRouter by AspenTech is an automated routing solution that accelerates plant layout and early engineering by generating efficient, clash-free paths for piping and raceways. Using advanced constraint-based optimization, it evaluates routing alternatives and applies design rules—such as spacing, separation, slope, minimum bend radius, and access—to produce constructible routes that respect project standards and safety requirements. OptiRouter helps engineering teams and EPCs rapidly iterate layouts, reduce manual routing effort, and improve consistency across projects, enabling faster progress from concept through FEED and into detailed design.

Key capabilities:

• Automatic routing for piping and raceways based on equipment connectivity and specifications
• Constraint-driven optimization that honors design rules and reserved zones
• Clash avoidance with equipment, structures, and no-go areas
• Rapid scenario studies to compare alternative layouts
• Early quantity takeoff support to inform estimates and planning
• Smooth handoff to downstream 3D design environments

By shortening routing cycles and minimizing rework, Aspen OptiRouter improves productivity, supports better decision-making early in the project, and helps teams deliver higher-quality layouts in less time.
