Eighty percent of costly plant decisions
are made in the conceptual design stage.

Imagine that you could get P&IDs done more quickly, and evaluate lots of different process and layout options, and could make better informed, more accurate decisions.

AXSYS.Process and PlantWise can help.

By optimizing the front-end phase of plant design you can make investment decisions with greater confidence and experience significant savings in capital and operating costs over the entire project lifecycle. 

Front-end engineering, particularly conceptual design, has become pivotal to successful plant construction project implementation. Companies realize that key decisions made early in the conceptual design phase drive downstream engineering tasks and govern the operability, performance, and economics of operating a facility.

Bentley provides a comprehensive front-end design solution that automates the conceptual design of complex plants by automatically generating process flow diagrams (PFDs) and piping and instrumentation diagrams (P&IDs), and converting simple 2D process diagrams into working 3D models.

This 3D model then enables better communication between the engineering design contractors and owners because it helps visualize multiple what-if scenarios. Designers, process engineers, operators, and maintenance supervisors can work together to quickly implement changes that optimize plant functionality and minimize costs.

By integrating AXSYS.Process and PlantWise, Bentley delivers a unique solution for FEED.
