Bentley has long worked toward the goal of providing interoperability between applications that support open standards. OpenPlant is a set of plant design software products completely built on the ISO 15926 data model, signaling the next step in plant design software development.
Extensive knowledge and experience with intelligent P&ID systems and a desire to provide a truly open and flexible piping and instrumentation design solution has resulted in OpenPlant PowerPID. OpenPlant PowerPID is the first commercial P&ID software based on a completely open data model. Its base data model schema is ISO 15926. Now, any application that is mapped to the ISO 15926 schema can interoperate with OpenPlant PowerPID.
This means any data created in OpenPlant PowerPID is available to be shared without the need for complex, proprietary APIs. The data you create is all yours!
