SmartPlant® P&ID

Key Features

Data-centric Solution

  • Maintains a "single source of truth" for all P&ID data
  • Helps ensure that the P&ID reflects the as-built plant at all times 
  • Enables the creation of intelligent P&IDs through built-in engineering rules and consistency checking 
  • Focuses on your data rather than the layers as seen in a CAD environment 
  • Ensures data consistency throughout the design process
  • Enables the sharing of application data and documents across disciplines and across the enterprise 
  • Facilitates data and design reuse on future projects, saving time and money
  • Allows refinement and addition of data throughout the project

Streamlined Work Processes

  • Streamlines engineering tasks throughout the workflow
  • Allows for better planning for maintenance, turnarounds, and plant shutdowns, and better management of risk-based inspections (RBIs)
  • Enables accurate early material take-off
  • Enables faster updates from redlines to blacklines
  • Allows you to conduct "what if" production scenarios to assess project capabilities 

Integration

  • Offers integration between 3D modeling tasks such as PDS, SmartPlant 3D, and AVEVA's PDMS, saving many hours of design validation  
  • Works with HAZOP analysis tools such as SmartPlant Process Safety 
  • Enables direct communication with external data from third parties or in-house development sources for data import, export, and verification 
  • Integrates with upstream and downstream tasks
  • Interfaces with upstream process analysis tools, such as AspenTech simulation software 

Workflow Improvements

  • Supports two modes of worksharing to facilitate project execution, providing the advantage of both online and standalone configurations and a mix of database platforms 
  • Exercises rules and connectivity checks to speed the entire engineering process and ensure design integrity 
  • Enhances QA/QC capabilities and substantially reduces design checking time 
  • Enables the distribution of work among subcontractors and successful management and execution of multi-site and remote projects worldwide 
  • Improves test package assembly during commissioning, and provides an accurate, up-to-date test status for planning and reporting
  • Streamlines project information handover to owner with a single database providing a single source of truth
