Project Objectives

Design, fabricate, and install a new chocolate tempering unit while disrupting the client’s production schedule as little as possible.
Replace 2D drawing design methods with a single 3D model for the design of the unit in order to reduce piping design time and ensure clash-free installation

Fast Facts

Egemin reduced piping design time by 60 percent using products from the AutoPLANT Plant Design Workgroup and the AutoPLANT Process & Instrumentation Workgroup. Piping was pre-fabricated before installation onsite, reducing valuable down time for the client.
Egemin provided a clash-free installation that took only three weeks; AutoPLANT Explorer/ID was used to perform a thorough evaluation of the model for interferences before fabrication.
AutoPLANT includes modules for specific disciplines, permitting the exchange 3D models between disciplines, and enabling earlier collaboration.

By modeling a chocolate tempering unit in 3D with Bentley AutoPLANT, Egemin Automation reduced piping design time by 60 percent and ensured a clash-free installation that took only three weeks.

"Routing the entire project in a single 3D model turned out to be much faster than the old 2D approach, where we had to try and reconcile dozens of individual drawings," says Bart De Jans of Egemin Automation.
