Intergraph Launches SDB for SmartPlant Reference Data
 HUNTSVILLE, Alabama,
May 24, 2007 - Intergraph Corp.’s Process, Power & Marine (PP&M) division
has launched a Standard Database (SDB) for SmartPlant Reference Data that
delivers a comprehensive range of commodity codes that uniquely describe
bulk materials throughout a project’s lifecycle. SmartPlant Reference Data
provides clients with a centralized capability to efficiently manage
catalogs and specifications for multiple design systems and materials
management.
The SDB for SmartPlant Reference Data is a preconfigured, recommended
practice solution to enable rapid implementation of enterprise reference
data management, and/or materials management. The SDB incorporates a
comprehensive catalog of industry standard material parts, organized and
described for “out of the box” use by owner operators, and engineering,
procurement, fabrication and construction companies. The content is
pre-configured to enable catalog and piping specification interfaces to
intelligent 3D applications (initially SmartPlant 3D, Intergraph’s next
generation 3D plant design software).
Depending on the scope of an implementation, the key benefits of
implementing the SDB for SmartPlant Reference Data are that clients can
typically save between three to 12 months on the initial implementation, and
corresponding consulting and training fees. Training is minimized, reducing
implementation time and cost and high quality production start-up is ensured
by eliminating the need for clients to re-enter the same standard reference
data. The SDB also provides a common collaboration platform for all joint
venture partners in a project supply chain spanning the entire project life
cycle.
“With millions of individual parts to describe, and each part often
having to be described differently for each phase of a project, the
complexity in standardizing material descriptions is significant. Many of
our customers were struggling with the complexities involved in this, and
the SDB is a direct result of the many requests we receive for a recommended
practice solution to this problem,” said Patrick Holcomb, Intergraph PP&M
executive vice president, global business development.
The initial release of the SDB for SmartPlant Reference Data is delivered
configured to support 90 metallic piping component definitions according to
various US standards such as ASME/ANSI, and API. The content for metallic
piping in the initial release includes more than 10,000 commodity codes and
more than one million individual parts with full dimensional data for 3D
modeling and weights.
