SmartPlant Instrumentation to Integrate with PAS DOC4000
 HUNTSVILLE,
AL, June 5, 2008 - Intergraph will integrate its SmartPlant Enterprise plant
configuration solution, SmartPlant Instrumentation, with the PAS
Integrity/DOC4000 product family to provide plant owners with a consolidated
view of their control infrastructure for improved operations management.
The consolidated, up-to-date view of the plant’s control infrastructure –
from instrument to advanced control scheme – will give process industry
users the ability to:
make faster and better-informed decisions based on a single view of the
plant infrastructure keep engineering data synchronized with changes to
control system configurations navigate multi-system configurations for
troubleshooting or optimization of the real-time controls reduce costs by
automating creation of consolidated loop sheets and other documentation. In
addition, engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) companies and new
customer locations benefit from shortened SmartPlant Instrumentation set-up
time with the new ability to "reverse-load" instrumentation data from
existing control systems via PAS’ Integrity, the precursor to DOC4000.
The plant configuration solution of SmartPlant Enterprise, an open
engineering design and data management software suite, helps users better
manage and store instrumentation and control data. The PAS DOC4000 product
family is a configuration management solution that logs and reports all
changes to the real-time infrastructure used to maintain and operate plants
for optimal performance and safety of operations. Changes are presented
automatically and securely, via intuitive Web-based views. DOC4000 provides
up-to-date loop diagrams and data flow maps on which operations, maintenance
and safety personnel can rely.
"The integration of SmartPlant Instrumentation and DOC4000 will provide
plant owners and EPC customers with a complete picture of plant dynamics to
make better operational decisions," said Eddie Habibi, PAS founder and chief
executive officer. "As a result, plant operators will lower their
operational risks, reduce production interrupts and increase plant safety."
"This product integration will provide our customers with a new
capability to improve operations efficiency and keep their instrumentation
documentation in sync with the very frequent changes to control systems,"
said Patrick Holcomb, Intergraph Process, Power & Marine division executive
vice president.
The product integration will be rolled out to customers in phases. First
prototype release planned for summer 2008.
