Benefits for EPC Contractors
SmartPlant P&ID helps you reduce project risk by providing a more efficient way to create, access and manage P&IDs and associated information. By streamlining engineering tasks throughout plant design and enabling global worksharing, SmartPlant P&ID improves work processes and maximizes productivity.
Through the rule driven design and connectivity model, SmartPlant P&ID enables you to make the right decisions early and avoid late and expensive changes. SmartPlant P&ID also integrates with downstream tasks such as SmartPlant 3D, SmartPlant Instrumentation, and SmartPlant Electrical.
- Facilitates global worksharing for multi-office project execution and concurrent engineering, reducing hours and cost and increasing design quality
- Creates consistent design driven by the built-in rules, streamlining the entire data checking process
- Drives substantial savings during front-end engineering design, ensure accurate data and deliverables, and optimize design and review scenarios
- Helps with planning construction activities and allows extraction of plant views from the database during construction to create work packages for assignment to contractors
- Promotes early material take-off to streamline procurement, protecting the project schedule and reducing overall materials costs
- Enables global worksharing on multi-site and remote projects
- Facilitates the quick and accurate creation of deliverables, including common CAD formats such as AutoCAD or MicroStation PDF
- Effectively manages P&IDs from project onset to final handover of data to the plant owner
- Shortens the commissioning cycle, speed time to plant startup, and provide as-built P&IDs for operations
Benefits for Plant Owner/Operators
SmartPlant P&ID helps you keep your P&IDs accurate and as-built. You can improve, optimize and refine work processes, increase design quality and lower costs across the plant life cycle. SmartPlant P&ID is integrated with complementary tasks such as instrumentation, electrical, piping, data management.
It also integrates with SmartPlant Process Safety for HAZOP analysis with cause-and-effect diagrams and safety engineering verification and action management, plus SmartPlant Explorer for browsing for engineering data via the Web.
- Is part of the SmartPlant Enterprise for Owner Operators solution
- Enables use of P&ID data in complementary operational- and engineering-critical activities
- Helps to automate HAZOP identifications safety engineering verification through rules with SmartPlant Process Safety, reducing the effort required and improving the quality of the safety analysis
- Facilitates better planning for maintenance and plant shutdowns, and better management of risk-based inspection (RBI) processes
- Helps to ensure compliance with regulatory agency demands and governmental regulations, such as OSHA, EPA, and FDA
- Supports the as-built project, allowing customers to execute projects in running plants, keep new and existing situations separate, and consolidate them after project execution
- Finds first block valves to safely exchange assets using SmartPlant P&ID's built-in connectivity and relationships
- Uses display sets to create deliverables to execute specific tasks
- Makes data available via SmartPlant Explorer in an easy-to-use, safe environment
