Many of our customers have standardised on SmartPlant Instrumentation and SmartPlant P&ID as their single environments for managing field instrumentation and process layout," Holden said.
As a Smartplant Alliance technology member, IPS has developed complementary interfaces between Intergraphs Smartplant instrumentation, Smartplant P and ID, and Smartplant Foundation, with IPSs industrial automation solutions.
In addition, engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) companies and new customer locations benefit from shortened SmartPlant Instrumentation set-up time with the new ability to "reverse-load" instrumentation data from existing control systems via PAS' Integrity, the precursor to DOC 4000.
The contract includes SmartPlant 3D, SmartPlant Electrical, SmartPlant Explorer, SmartPlant Foundation, SmartPlant Instrumentation, SmartPlant P&ID, SmartPlant Review, SmartSketch, MARIAN Materials Management Solution and services related to implementation and integration with new products.
In mid-2005 Fives Cail Group decided to start production on this strategic project with a complete set of tools including SmartPlant PID, SmartPlant 3D, SmartPlant Instrumentation and SmartPlant Foundation.
SmartPlant Instrumentation supports controls system engineering, while SmartPlant P&ID and SmartPlant Electrical support piping and instrumentation and electrical engineering, respectively.
Applications included in the Global Alliance Agreement are: SmartPlant Foundation, SmartPlant 3D, SmartPlant P&ID, SmartPlant Instrumentation, SmartPlant Electrical, SmartSketch(R) and MARIAN(R).
These tools include SmartPlant Instrumentation powered by Intools(R) for instrumentation engineering; SmartPlant P&ID for piping and instrumentation diagram authoring and engineering; PDS(R) for 3D detail design; MARIAN for procurement and materials management; third-party Aspen Technology Zyqad process-modeling environment; Air Products legacy document management system and SAP, which precipitated a broad reaching legacy tool replacement effort.
