Intergraph Introduces SmartPlant Isometrics for Piping
 HUNTSVILLE,
AL, Jan 28, 2008 - Intergraph Corp. introduced today SmartPlant Isometrics,
its newest solution for generating industry-standard pipeline isometric
drawings for Greenfield and Brownfield design projects.
The announcement was made in conjunction with the DaratechPlant 2008
Conference in Houston, Texas.
Previously known as I-Sketch, SmartPlant Isometrics is an important piece
of Intergraph’s “Digital Isometric Value Chain,” which allows for the
electronic management of information associated with a pipeline throughout
the plant lifecycle, from the definition of its design requirement to
manufacturing details, and ultimately into operations and maintenance.
Based on ISOGEN technology, the industry standard for automatic
generation of piping isometrics, SmartPlant Isometrics allows users to
sketch piping systems in only minutes and generate isometric drawings with
full bills of materials (BOMs) in seconds. This is compared to 2D CAD
packages or paper and pencil where drawing isometrics usually takes several
hours. The results provide substantial cost savings and productivity gains
in piping isometric production.
“Enning, one of the leading German companies in the piping systems and
plant construction sector, adopted I-Sketch as a vital component of the
Digital Isometrics Value Chain to improve the efficiency of handling piping
data from the P&ID through design, fabrication and construction into plant
operations, said Matthias Sadus, chief engineering & information officer of
Enning. “We look forward to the additional functionality that SmartPlant
Isometrics will provide. Its ability to handle multiple pipelines and piping
systems in combination with SmartPlant Spoolgen will bring further value to
the Digital Isometric Value Chain.”
Gerhard Sallinger, president, Intergraph Process, Power & Marine said,
“This release represents yet another step in the integration of the
engineering enterprise. SmartPlant Isometrics delivers an improved product
reflecting the feedback from original I-Sketch users and better integration
into our SmartPlant Enterprise solutions.”
Once a pipeline has been designed, the digital data (drawing, materials,
welding, pipe cut lengths) can be electronically transferred to the pipe
fabricator in seconds – where it can be processed to define the fabrication
spools and drawings using its companion product SmartPlant Spoolgen.
SmartPlant Isometrics integrates with all of the leading 3D plant design
systems and contains all the key features of I-Sketch while adding the
following functionality:
- Allows the design of several pipelines within one session
- Creates an instant 3D scaled view of pipelines, provided by embedded
I-View
- Provides simultaneous 3D view of multiple pipelines – allows for
design of several pipelines in a confined location and visual clash
checks with new or existing pipelines
- Allows the design of complete piping systems
- Creates ISOGEN industry-standard piping system isometric drawings
With the addition of this new functionality, SmartPlant Isometrics meets
the broader design and documentation challenges faced by EPCs, pipe
fabricators and owner operators. And, as with I-Sketch, it requires no
prerequisite CAD or drafting skills and is easy to learn and use. For
existing I-Sketch users, upgrading to SmartPlant Isometrics is seamless and
will be at no charge to maintenance paying customers.
