Project Overview
The Tessenderlo Group has achieved enormous time savings by integrating its AutoPLANT/PIDA/eDM system, consisting of a specific interface (PIDA) on top of an AutoPLANT database to link bidirectional design drawings, data and project documents.

Developed by an internal team from Tessenderlo, it has become an ingenious system for the support of engineering, maintenance and production.

Project Objective
Tessenderlo Group, a diversified Belgian group, is internationally active in several branches of the chemicals industry and synthetic material processing.

The group consists of approximately 8,300 employees, within 105 enterprises in 21 countries.

The operation sites are constantly going through engineering modifications where precise data and documentation is required and result in a large number of project documents being generated or updated.

The system creates a central database of tag numbers and data containing full details and links with documents and design models. Engineering can automatically generate design views, automatically generate isometric drawings, and automatically create material lists and their associated documentation.
