About PlantWise
PlantWise enables rapid creation of fully piped 3-D plant concept model for immediate review and on-the-spot layout optimization. Find out more.
PlantWise™
A Front-End Engineering and Design Solution for plant layout optimization and early Owner/Operator (Customer) buy-in.
PlantWise lets plant designers optimize plant layout using a rapidly created and fully routed 3D plant model. Used in the bidding, front-end, and early detailing phases, PlantWise has demonstrated dramatic reductions in total installed cost and project schedule.
PlantWise ensures early Customer buy-in and increases the probability of winning project awards.
Gets the Concept Right
In the oil and gas and chemical process industries, accepting a plant concept is a commitment to the plant and associated costs that extend throughout a plant's life. PlantWise is a unique suite of knowledge-centric software solutions that enable fully informed decisions at the earliest project stage, greatly reducing both project cost and schedule. It is a great sales tool that provides the Customer with early visibility of the proposed plant solutions. Its rapid collaborative "what-if" change capability provides instant feedback to Customer requested modifications making the plant "his".
Instant "What-if"s !
Envision reviewing a fully piped three-dimensional (3D) plant model, finding a constructibility problem, then immediately making an adjustment. PlantWise automatically implements the change and re-routes the model to test and validate the solution. It can easily mean millions of dollars saved in any single project.
It's all about competitive advantage
Realistic renderings of fully piped plant models produced in an instant greatly help in collaborative "what-if" optimization and Customer buy-in of a plant layout.
Uses "Best Practices"
PlantWise uses your plant knowledge and "best practices" to optimize value throughout a plant's lifecycle. It reduces project time-to-completion and provides both up-front and long-term cost savings. 3D visualization of early concepts permits collaborative review of key factors such as constructability, operation, maintenance and safety.
Saves Detail Design Time
Proving the layout with piping early significantly reduces the need for changes once the detail desig has begun. Users report that piping design effort is reduced as much as 20% which translates to about 3% of total installed plant cost. It pays having the layout right before starting detail design.
Helps Teamwork
With PlantWise, designers, process engineers, operators and maintenance supervisors work together to quickly to implement changes that optimize plant functionality and minimize costs, while practically eliminating change orders and rework. It all adds up to a real competitive advantage.
Decide on Long-Lead Items Early
PlantWise enables instant creation and review of unlimited plant concept iterations, allowing the design team to make quick decisions. Rapid decisions and accurate take-off's permit early procurement of critical-path materials reducing project schedule. In contrast, graphics-centric 2D plant layout studies provide limited decision support, and conventional 3D tools are cumbersome to use in advance of the detailed design phase.
Involve Owner/User on Day One
3D visualization makes it easy for design teams to understand the impact of design changes and reach consensus on concepts. With PlantWise, fast review of Owner/Operator change-requests ensures informed acceptance of conceptual designs and eliminates misunderstandings.
