Bentley Wins FIATECH CETI Award
 EXTON,
PA, Apr 3, 2008 – Bentley Systems, Incorporated today announced that it has
won a FIATECH Celebration of Engineering & Technology Innovation (CETI)
Award in the Lifecycle Data Management & Information Integration category.
The award was accepted on behalf of Bentley by Dr. Manoj Dharwadkar, Bentley
director, technology management, and Rahul Patil, Bentley software engineer,
during FIATECH’s annual conference in New Orleans. It honors Bentley for its
collaboration on FIATECH’s “Accelerating the Deployment of the ISO 15926” (ADI)
project, and recognizes Bentley’s extensive work this past year on the ISO
15926 international standard for process plant information, including:
- Development of Adaptive Information Models based on ISO 15926
Reference Data Library.
- Development of ISO 15926 adapters for Bentley products.
- Development of Bentley Class Editor for managing the Adaptive
Information Models and data mappings and the implementation of ISO 15926
Part 7 WIP facade (Web Services) within it. This technology provides a
user-friendly view of ISO 15926 information models to the domain experts
who want to contribute to the standard, as well as to the implementers
who want to write adapters to the neutral standard. Bentley has offered
complimentary copies of the Bentley Class Editor to FIATECH and POSC
Caesar members.
- Collaboration with leading contractors on ISO 15926 implementation
issues.
A direct result of this work was Bentley’s introduction at
daratechPLANT2008 of OpenPlant, the first range of software products for the
creation and management of plant infrastructure inherently based on the ISO
15926 standard. Bentley’s OpenPlant products enable collaboration by solving
the problems inherent in a distributed enterprise that spans disparate
systems. The OpenPlant hallmark is a seamless federation for sharing and
reusing consistent and accurate data among distributed teams and work
packages throughout the plant lifecycle. Bentley’s first ISO 15926-compliant
offering was its ProjectWise Lifecycle Server. At daratechPLANT2008, Bentley
introduced OpenPlant PowerPID, the only commercial P&ID solution to be based
on a completely open data model.
Commenting on Bentley’s award, Dr. Richard H.F. Jackson, director of
FIATECH, said, “Clearly, Bentley is steadfast in its commitment to data
interoperability using open industry standards and continues to be a leader
in providing the vision for and fostering the widespread adoption of ISO
15926. Bentley is implementing ISO 15926 at the core of its existing plant
offerings and earlier this year said that all future Bentley plant
applications will be ISO 15926 based. This will allow interoperability among
Bentley’s software solutions and third-party ISO 15926-based solutions in a
consistent way.”
“Bentley is honored by this recognition and looks forward to continuing
its work with FIATECH,” said Rob Whitesell, vice president, Bentley Plant,
Building, and Structural development. “Without question, FIATECH, in
collaboration with POSC Caesar Association, has made great strides in
accelerating standardization activities around ISO 15926. Bentley is
actively engaged in these important efforts through, for example, the
contributions of Manoj, Rahul, and other Bentley colleagues in support of
the FIATECH ADI and POSC Caesar projects. At the same time, Bentley is
aggressively implementing emerging interoperability standards in our
comprehensive portfolio of solutions and products.”
Whitesell continued, “As CEO Greg Bentley announced at daratechPLANT2008,
Bentley has become the first plant creation software vendor to deliver truly
open solutions, including our adoption of ISO 15926 data models as the basis
for the next version of all of our plant applications. By basing our
OpenPlant products on ISO 15926, we are enabling project teams and plant
owner-operators to reduce downtime, increase plant safety, and deliver
greater flexibility and productivity to stimulate innovative engineering and
operations for sustaining infrastructure.”
About ADI
More than 30 FIATECH owners, contractors, equipment suppliers, and
software providers are working together in the jointly funded ADI project,
along with the POSC Caesar Association and DNV, to create a WIP ISO 15926
online reference data library. This library includes lifecycle information
models as well as software interface tools for process industry lifecycle
information integration.
About OpenPlant’s ProjectWise Lifecycle Server
ProjectWise Lifecycle Server supports Bentley’s standards-based
engineering data warehouse, addressing engineering automation and other
asset information management needs for the full plant lifecycle. Built on
ISO 15926, ProjectWise Lifecycle Server accordingly offers unprecedented
interoperability – providing the ability to share data across Bentley and
competitive plant applications, and with enterprise IT environments. For
more information about ProjectWise Lifecycle Server, visit

About OpenPlant PowerPID
Bentley’s OpenPlant PowerPID is the only commercial software for process
and instrumentation diagrams to be based on a completely open data model.
Because the native data model schema for OpenPlant PowerPID is ISO 15926,
any data that is mapped to the ISO 15926 schema can natively interoperate
with OpenPlant PowerPID. This means that any plant schematics created with
OpenPlant PowerPID can be shared without the need for complex application
programming interfaces. The data is stored and maintained in a neutral,
nonproprietary format that can be accessed by any application that is mapped
to the ISO 15926 schema. For more information about OpenPlant PowerPID,
visit www.bentley.com/PowerPID.
About FIATECH
FIATECH is an industry consortium that provides global leadership in
identifying and accelerating the development, demonstration, and deployment
of fully integrated and automated technologies to deliver the highest
business value throughout the lifecycle of all types of capital projects.
