10 raisons d'acheter PlantWise
| 1 |
Reduce Total Installed Cost
Piping is a significant portion of plant cost. Unlike the capital equipment, piping costs depend significantly on the layout. Using PlantWise to automatically route 3D conceptual plant models has demonstrated reductions of two to four percent of total installed costs. PlantWise lets designers explore many “what-if” alternatives to understand all the trade offs in the original design and to respond to required changes. |

| 2 |
Reduced Lifecycle Costs
PlantWise can save lifecycle costs through early review of the 3D design for maintenance and operability concerns. Even before any detailed design has begun, operators and contractors can walk through the fully-piped 3D plant model, find operations access problems, and immediately make adjustments. PlantWise re-routes the model to test and validate the solution. |

Essential Part of the FEED Toolkit
With PlantWise, designers, process engineers, operators and maintenance supervisors work together to quickly implement changes that optimize plant functionality and minimize costs, while substantially reducing change orders and rework. It all adds up to a significant competitive advantage. |

| 4 |
Shorten Project Schedule
Rapid decisions and accurate material takeoffs permit early procurement of critical-path materials reducing project schedule. Early validation of the layout with piping significantly reduces the need for changes once the detail design has begun. Users report that piping design effort is reduced as much as 20 percent. It pays having the layout right before starting detail design. |

Fast and Easy Conceptual Plant Modeling
PlantWise's PlantBuilder module allows designers to quickly lay out equipment, piperacks, and structures during the early phases of a project. Start your plant concept modeling without a P&ID. You need only minimal input to create a realistic model to which you can add incrementally as more information is available. |

| 6 |
Automatic Pipe Routing
PlantWise's AutoRouter module is tightly integrated with PlantBuilder. AutoRouter rapidly computes pipeline paths, selects and places in-line components, optimizes piperack packing, and lets pipers interactively edit routed pipelines and inline component placement. Inline components are selected automatically from standard or user defined libraries. The logical connections between pipelines and equipment nozzles enable instant re-routing after layout changes, allowing virtually unlimited "what-if" iterations. |

Visualize and Communicate the 3D Layout
Rapid modeling and autorouting lets you communicate plant concepts far beyond the capabilities of two-dimensional plot drawings. The realistic visualization in rendered CAD views or standard plant walk-through programs facilitates detailed review for constructability, operation, maintenance, and safety at each step. As one user has put it, a review of PlantWise model at zero percent of detailed design is worth more than the reviews they used to do at 50 percent of detailed design. |

Start Directly From Process Design Data
PlantWise starts with the information straight out of the process design: equipment and pipelines (or streams). Start from the PFD data—the 3D layout can proceed in parallel with the P&ID development. The process information can be loaded directly into PlantWise through spreadsheets or text files, as in these sample spreadsheets from Bentley's AXSYS Process. |

|
| 9 |
Accurate Piping Quantities During Conceptual Design
PlantWise provides designers with precise material takeoffs (MTOs), based on an optimized layout. Use standard reports to see pipeline quantities or customize the reports with estimation data to get immediate costs for comparisons between layouts. |

| 10 |
Manipulate Key Pipes and Components and Let the AutoRouter Adjust Everything Else
As the layout concepts evolves, PlantWise can move into detailed pipeline planning. Designers can take control of key pipelines and make adjustments to further optimize the routes or avoid bottlenecks. PlantWise can then re-route other pipelines and adjust component placement in response to the manual overrides. |
