motive manufacturer in Europe. In 2012,the company celebrates its 175th an-niversary. Borsig's order intake rangesbetween 250 and 300 mill. euros. Onecore product with which the companycan claim world market leadership is thequench cooler used for back cooling eth-ylene.

Seeking the optimumAs Jürgen Stegger, Managing Direc-

tor at BMT GmbH, explained in discus-sion with our editors, the company doeshave a basic membrane-based processthat could be de-scribed as "standard".But extensive custo-mization is requireddepending on every single project. In thecourse of a year, twenty to fourty projectswith run-between three and fifteenmonths are realized. A typical plant witha total investment up to 10 mill. euros hasa footprint of about 10 x 12 m2.

BMT offers a comprehensive solutionpack-age starting at the FEED phase, in-cluding construction, maintenance andoverhaul. Already in consultation with thecustomer, the sales team presents a re-alistic tailor-made solution. At the twosites, Rheinfelden in Southwest Germanyand Gladbeck in the Northern Germany,all disciplines are available: project man-

Borsig Membrane Technology

persuades customers fasterBorsig Membrane Technology is not only an internationally successful company offering its customers innovativemembrane technology solutions but also it is a leading edge EPC with high-quality planning methods based on theCADISON® software writes BERNHARD D. VALNION (Editor in Chief, Economic Engineering)

The scenario is always much thesame: An owner-operator needs to han-dle or wants to reuse a purge gas pro-duced in his plant – say a chemical plantor a refinery – for the purpose of emis-sion control, product recovery or condi-tioning. This inert gas contains organicconstituents like propylene or ethylenemonomers. For such cases, the owner-operator may well call in the expertise ofBorsig Membrane Technology (BMT).The company, a member of the Berlin-headquartered Borsig Group with its600-strong workforce, has been devel-oping intelligent membrane-based sep-aration processes for over 20 years.BMT's outstanding technology is used ina range of applications in the chemical,petrochemical, and oil/gas industries forthe treatment of hydrocarbon-containingliquid or gaseous mixtures. Particularlynoteworthy are the successful imple-mentation of the gas permeation pro -cess for selective separation of organicvapours from exhaust gas, and espe-cially the treatment of vapours releasedduring the distribution of highly volatilehydrocarbons.

The parent company Borsig em-braces the following five business units: · Process Heat Exchanger· ZM Compression· Membrane Technology (BMT)· Boiler Systems· Service.

As a result of several acquisitions,BMT became part of the Borsig Group,one of the oldest manufacturers inGermany, back in the year2000. In the 19th cen-tury Borsig was thelargest loco-

agement, process, mechanical, electri-cal, and instrumentation engineering.

In the FEED phase Aspen Hysys isused for process simulation. But as MrStegger assured, they don't just use thissimulator straight out of the box: ”A lot ofcustomization work was done to map ourknow-how, e.g. concerning membranetechnology, into the simulation tool.Hysys can be used to model all unit op-erations like compression, adsorption,and distillation. Various case studies aretested to determine the optimal processfor the customer.” Mr Stegger mentionsthe customers' specified target valuesthat have to be reached during thisprocess. Based on these results, the di-mensions and corresponding parame-ters of all devices like compressors,vessels, or distillation columns are de-fined in the process engineering flowscheme (PEFS).

data into the (project) data-base has tobe considered. Moreover, 3D data ofreused components have to be gener-ated and copied into the database. ”Butonce this work has been done, a poten-tial source of errors is eliminated be-cause one-to-one data mapping isprocessed during the whole project life-cycle.” explains Mr Stegger, underliningthe huge benefit.

The productivity enhancements re-sulting from the new planning infrastruc-ture are not so important for BMT, MrStegger says, but: ”If there are two moreor less identical projects to execute thenthe time reduction is obvious because itis only a matter of copying the databaseand matching it to the actual situation”.However, this is not often the case. Asmentioned earlier, the increased qualityof the planning process is far more im-portant: ”For example, the possibility ofexporting well-defined revision statesfrom the CADISON® database – so tospeak a data freeze at special mile-stones – makes document exchangewith all the contractors involved ab-solutely traceable.”

Experts often propound the view thata vital data exchange between ERP andthe plant design system helps to ensurecost transpar-ency in project execution.However, at BMT there is no explicit dataexchange between the installed SAPsystem and CADISON®, meaningCADISON® objects are not referenced toSAP data sets. But there are no reasonsto miss this, the senior engineer says. Anexample helps to explain this: In eachproject let's say ten or twenty pressurevessels are placed and listed as corre-sponding objects in the CADISON®

database. But when it comes to pro-curement, because of discount ratesacross all ongoing projects, thesevessels are ordered. The same istrue for valves or other purchasedcomponents: ”We may even buy alarger volume of those parts to keepthem on stock for future projects,” Mr

Stegger explains.

used has to be added to the PEFS togenerate the P&IDs. All these data haveto be managed consis-tently,” Mr Steggerstresses. Since the P&IDs are the basisof the agreement with the customer, dataconsistency is extremely important. TheCADISON® 3D planning tool from ITand-Factory GmbH headquartered in BadSoden near Frankfurt/Germany concen-trates the engineering workflow at BMTinto one system and thus significantly ac-celerates the planning processes. Thecommon object-oriented data model forthe different fields of application (e.g.tender planning, process engineering,installation planning, pipeline planning,electrical engineering, and instrumenta-tion) enables the integration of all plan-ning phases. CADISON® uses AutoCADas a 2D/3D geometry engine. The dataexchange between Hysys andCADISON® is realized with "MS Excel" asthe interface. ”When the P&ID is gener-ated, the database is filled and all thepeople involved in the project are able toquery it with filters for special information.Over the whole project run-time, all proj-ect data coincide with that depicted inthe P&IDs,” says the General Manager,emphasizing CADISON®'s data integrity.

Of course, the initial effort requiredfor entering default

With the introduction of CADISON®,3D CAD was rolled out at the Gladbeckand Rheinfelden sites. Mr Stegger re-calls: ”It took some time to train our de-signers until they were really confident inusing 3D CAD because previously wehad only planned in 2D. After taking thishurdle, the acceleration in our planningprocess was obvious: faster navigationthrough the design, drawings and sec-tional views being generated at once bymouse click.” Also the possibility of clashdetection is a big plus for Mr Stegger.

For marketing and sales reasons, the3D models are prepared with AutodeskNavisworks. ”For customer presentationsI have always 3D renderings of formerCADISON® projects with me. Althoughthere is nothing special about a 3Dmodel, the surprise in customer's eyeswhen he sees his plant in a rendered 3Dmodel for the first time is always worthseeing.” With these visualization tech-niques, the project time is reduced be-cause Mr Stegger's sales team is able topersuade the customer faster. Quite sim-ply, because BMT's competence is bet-ter articulated.

Summary and outlookA lot of effort was put into getting an

overview of the market for plant design tools.”We did this with our modest company sizein mind,” Mr Stegger explained. In responseto our question why ITandFactory had comeout the winner of the selection process, theManaging Director explained: ”From the verybeginning, from the initial consultation up tothe sales phase and afterwards, we havebeen very satisfied with our contacts atITandFactory. And the hotline service is ex-cellent as well.” The quick response time ofthe CADISON® database supports our deci-sion in favour of ITandFactory.

BMT is taking an additional documentmanagement system into consideration. Atthe moment, it is not possible to link all doc-uments e.g. e-mails or word files to the cor-responding project database. ”Importing all

this information into theCADISON® databasewould mean losing toomuch performance,” MrStegger said and thatwould be a pity.

Efficiency Improvement – also at CADISON® Best Practice 2012

Breaking the mould with webinar-technology for knowledge-transfer to our customer-base

Innovations in CADISON® R11, Instrumentation and Dataexport, Electrotechnical Planning withCADISON® Electric Designer, Assemblies in P&ID’s, Efficiently Creating of Project and 3D-LayoutConstruction had been the themes of CBP 2012.

It was the first time to run this kind of event as webinar. But 130 registered users for our first webinar-series on 26 April are a very good result and speaks for itself. Most of the participants had seen the advantages of not moving around and attending directlyfrom the office via internet. They rated the seminars as good and now waiting for the next ones! Andyes we know, that with this kind of seminar the personal contact is missing.

With our satisfied customers in background we’re looking forward to our next webinars but also toCADISON® Best Practice 2013.

Bid Calculation and

Bid Preparation

Today a lot of bids have to be submittedbefore you can acquire a contract. Tothis end, normally a bid scheme will beprepared as the basis for preparationand supplementation of the respectivecalculation. Calculation is frequentlymade with Excel and the required data

Excel are generally of individual natureand do not always reflect the companystandard correctly. Multiple data inputscannot be avoided in this way anderrors will certainly arise.

Another problem is that in the graphicrange (AutoCAD, Visio, etc.) not allinformation like valve, measuring pointand pipeline numbers etc. should beshown in the bid scheme.

The bid scheme is prepared with a graphics editor(AutoCAD, Visio, etc.)

1. Inquiries regarding the most different objects aretransmitted to different manufacturers.

2. The required lists are prepared (manually,Attribute Extraction etc.) and adopted in the Excelcalculation.

3. The plant structures defined before are adoptedin the bid or modified.

4. Data taken from inquiries are incorporated in thebid.

5. The determined prices are transmitted to the bid.

This Best Practice Article is intended to show you how to useCADISON® for bid calculation with subsequent bid preparation.

Workshop Part 1

Basic principles

Today’s method of bid preparationNormally today’s method of bid preparation looks as follows:

This bidding procedure can beperformed to a large extent onlymanually. In case the plants are similar,”Copy & Paste“ can be used whereapplicable. The following manualadjustment and check-up is inevitable,time-consuming and error-prone.

Advantages· No extra tools for calculation and bidpreparation are required

· Similar data can be used with "Copy &Paste"

Disadvantages· Multiple data inputs· Error burst in case of manual dataprocessing

· Time-consuming procedure through ahigh number of manual steps

· Use of standards is almost impossible

BEST PRACTICE

The Workshop consists of three parts:

Part 1: Basic principles Part 2: Calculation with spreadsheet (following issue)Part 3: Bid preparation – inquiry, bid report (following issue)

A calculation matrix is required forillustration of a calculation. This matrixdefines which factors are used forcalculation. The matrix might slightlydiffer from bid to bid.

The following modes of calculationare possible in CADISON®:· Price calculation Price fixing through list prices, factors,discount rates etc.

· On-line calculation Quotation price, actual price, Delta(even in %)

· Calculation on the basis of workinghours Splitting into engineering, mechanicaland electrical environment

Calculation MatrixThe calculation matrix defines how thecalculation will be performed.CADISON® includes a generalcalculation matrix in the standardalready. The matrix can be customer-specifically adapted by means of theobject model. The structure developed in ProjectEngineer will be found in the calculationand in the bid report in the same wayagain.

Of course, a pre-fabricated template(for project preparation) is used in thiscase (see the previous issue ofCADISON WORLD), in which theproject-specific data are adapted. The

latter can be found even in the reports –e.g. as cover sheet, headline, footer etc.

In Project Engineer you can usedifferent structure views for ”settingdifferent cost views“. These views arepre-defined and are even ”clickedtogether“ depending on the mode ofview. Of course, each object with all itsfeatures is a unique object in thesystem.

completely eliminated. The shown chartindicates the principle of theprocedure. A difference is made

Bid preparation with CADISON®

To optimize calculation, superfluousmanual steps must be reduced or even

between the graphic (PID-, 3D-,Electric-Designer) and non-graphicranges (Project Engineer).

1. The bid scheme is prepared with symbols orassemblies from the central library.

2. The objects to be inquired are recorded in thelist (report).Objects recorded with prices already aredirectly specified from catalogues.

3. The respective lists can be generated directlyfrom the project or the drawing.

4. Valves and fittings are shown automatically orcan be made visible in the plant structurewith a few clicks.

5. Individual objects or complete plantstructures can be copied from a previouslydefined calculation structure.

6. List prices are taken either from existingcatalogues or completed by hand. Evaluationfactors can be pre-set through the ”projectstructure“ (outline in chapters) orperformance items so that the respectiveprice can be calculated.

7. In the last step the calculation structure isevaluated through a report module undedited in a bid (Word).


CADISON® combines the engineering workflow in one system and thus significantly accelerates the planning pro-cesses. All users can see on their workplaces – either graphically or as schematic, as 3D model or text-based in atree structure – the same data and objects in each case so that they can be optionally used and modified on all work-places through simple Drag & Drop. Data and/or objects are existing once only. Thus errors as a result of redundant data management are excluded.The sophisticated right system ensures that tasks are handled selectively. Modifications introduced by other usersare immediately made available to all other users. The continuity of the individual work steps in one object-oriented database forms the core of the CADISON® technology. CADISON® uses the widespread platforms AutodeskAutoCAD or Microsoft Visio for graphical presentations.

CADISON® Engineer2Web: Use your webbrowser online fordirect access to all CADISON® project data. Provided you areauthorized to do so, you may not only view project data withEngineer2Web but also modify existing data and structures orcreate new ones. This is the ideal access feature for main-tenance and site personnel and for “pure data consumers” notinvolved in the planning process.

CADISON® Archiver: The CADISON® Archiver allows you toswap and archive complete projects from the CADISON® pro-ductive environment. Archived projects can be rapidly and ea-sily viewed with the CADISON® Archive-Browser without theneed to retrieve them from the productive environment. Infor-mation about documents in projects completed before plusknowledge from experiences remain directly accessible.

CADISON® ERP-Interface: The bidirectional CADISON®

ERP-Interface combines ERP and engineering workflow forcreation of a highly integrated system. For instance, orderscan be directly released from the engineering workflow andeven controlled. During plant operation the technical specifi-cations can be adjusted and the maintenance processes canbe initiated. Company-specific standards may be presentedindividually.

CADISON® Stresstest-Interfaces: The two stresstest-inter-faces ROHR2 and CAESAR2 (new with CADISON® R12)makes it possible to transmit all pipeline systems created withCADISON® 3D-Designer to the calculation programs. All re-quired information will be completely transmitted to ROHR2or CAESAR2 in the form of import-files for analysis. Weakpoints are recognized and can be iteratively eliminated.

CADISON® Maintenance: CADISON® Maintenance is the so-lution for lifecycle management in plant construction and main-tenance. This module makes it possible to fix essential datalike maintenance intervals already in the planning phase, sothat data are accessible later for use by your technical andservice staff. You may automatically create lists for the main-tenance staff (even with an offline version) while modificati-ons are brought back to the life system again.

CADISON® Steel: Use CADISON® Steel to rapidly and easilycreate your steel construction in the 3D model “around the 3Dplant”. Comprehensive component libraries are available,such as steel sections, staircases and railings etc. Apart fromautomated derivation in 2D workshop drawings, planning canbe transmitted via a standardized interface directly to stressanalyst and production division.

CADISON® Project-Manager: Tracking Project-Times for theProject Engineer working with CADISON® but also exchan-ging project-data between Microsoft Project and CADISON®

gives the Project Manager the possibility, to track ressourcesand the progress in the complete project – including orderswith a 3rd-party system.

CADISON® Secondary Support Modeler: with user friendlywizards for creating various Secondary Support Structureswith inbuild inteligence and design validations.

CADISON® Navisworks: Through integration of almost allknown graphics formats Navisworks turns out to be the idealtool for Design Review Meetings and Highend Visualizations.Navisworks presents complete project real-time views for ef-ficient 3D coordination, 4D planning, photo-realistic visualiza-tion and dynamic simulation. Navisworks is the standard toolfor detection of collisions with other trades. Apart from gra-phics, CADISON® object information is made available.

CADISON® Application Programming Interface (API): TheCADISON® API allows you to optionally integrate yourCADISON® engineering workflow in your business workflow.CADISON® API offers you a high rate of flexibility – not only forexternal access to data, contents, structures and points ofview of CADISON® but you can use it even for dynamic dataexchange. New objects can be generated and existing objectscan be modified or even deleted. Thus you have a new qua-lity of openness and accessibility of database content.CADISON® API can be used by all customers as free-of-charge supplementary module.

VPT has been using CADISON® asplanning tool for many years alreadysince this object-oriented and inte-grated engineering solution for plantconstruction unites the complete engi-neering workflow from tender planningand process technology, erection plan-ning, pipeline planning and electricalengineering up to instrumentation etc.Another important feature: The toolsupports project management in net-worked teams. Until now the ‚multi-userability' has been understood merely as

Secures Performance

CADISON® as the object-orientedand integrated engineering solution forplant construction combines the com-plete engineering workflow so that timeand money are saved and productivity ofplanning engineer is improved. But whathappens in case the planning engineerworks outside the company? The com-pany VPT Kompressoren GmbH uses thevirtualization technology Citrix to securethe performance of CADISON® in caseof external access to 3D models.

Since more than 30 years the com-pany VPT has been the supplier of in-dustrial customers requesting air andgas compressors, for instance asbooster compressors for gas turbines inpower stations, as flare-gas compres-sors on offshore platforms and for usein chemical and petrochemical industry.In the meantime the company extendedits activities even to the sector of re-generative power generation (biogas).VPT is a specialized supplier of plantson a turn-key basis together with all re-quired ancillary equipment, such as fil-

the possibility for joint use of projectdata but CADISON® offers a new di-mension for this. Now it is possible forthe first time to have an optional num-ber of staff members working at thesame time on the same project (e.g.process engineers and I&C techni-cians). This becomes possible bymeans of the intelligent Check-IN /Check-OUT technology.

But what about the performance ofCADISON® 3D planning in case of ex-ternal access per VPN tools (Virtual Pri-vate Network) and Remote Desktop?When working a longer time on a com-plex 3D model with a low-efficiency lap-top, performance might dramaticallydecline. VPT found a solution throughuse of the virtualization technology ofCitrix. The Citrix technology does not re-quire any obligatory local graphicsworkplaces for work with computation-ally intensive graphics. The planningengineer can location-independentlyget access to efficient workstationseven with a laptop.

From the viewpoint of the plant de-sign engineer or operator the centralprovision of virtual desktops offers thespecific advantage of faster knowhowtransfer: Citrix makes it possible for na-tional and international participantsworking on the same project to coope-rate much closer and more efficiently.

Citrix: Performance for the external 3Dplanning engineer

In case of desktop virtualization theuser interface gets de-coupled from theterminal unit. Thus the laborious and ex-pensive provision of individual userclients is no longer necessary. Insteadof that they can be centrally providedfrom the computer centre as virtual

needing access to the 3D model andthe central database only a few minutesper day via the remote desktop fromtheir laptop to get informed about thecurrent status of planning work mightfind the comparatively slow access asacceptable. However, this is no longerefficient in case I have to work manyhours per day with this low performancerate. By use of Citrix I can do my plan-ning work now from my home office withthe same speed as if I would be on myworkplace at VPT in Remscheid. UsingCitrix, I can work from my home officethe same as local!"

In addition to that, Mr. Lenz praisespractical details like this: ”Dependingon the respective application, you mayfor instance adapt the image quality tothe graphics. In my day-to-day businessI am working with loss-free image qual-ity. In case of design review with com-plex graphic presentation I can adaptthe image quality so that I can fluidlycontinue work.”

Step-by-step VPT is now going toequip its marketing and after-sales divi-sions with Citrix. Moreover, the companyanticipates the chance to supply itselfwith free engineering capacity both onthe national and the international level.Mr. Retterath: ”Under the aspect of in-creasing shortage of qualified staff, ex-cellent perspectives can beanticipated. We established initial con-tacts to some external engineering of-fices already.”

desktops for individual users in thecompany. The result: The rigorous se–paration of operating system, applica-tions and user profiles considerably facilitates lifecycle management of virtual desktops along with remarkablereductions in storage requirement.

The initial point for the first Citrix in-stallation with VPT KompressorenGmbH was the desire of the Design En-gineer Mr. Bastian Lenz to work from hishome office. Mr. Matthias Retterath asthe competent project manager definesthe problem as follows: ”Our workmateLenz performs planning work with AutoCAD and CADISON® primarily inthe 3D range – and in this case theusual standard solution via VPN toolsand Remote Desktop is not fast enoughso that “judder-free” and smooth work-flow is not possible in the high-endgraphics range.” One essential aspectis that CADISON® has been based on acentral database so that all staff mem-bers working on a joint project have access to this central database.

In general, VPT with two locations inGermany, a number of internal salesand erection employees and externalfreelancers is faced by the problem thatdata inventory must be kept consistentfor all project participants. In principle,this works properly with the conven-tional procedure (remote desktop) butin case of multi-hour work in the 3Drange the performance limit is reachedrather quickly. Mr Lenz stated: "People

The conclusion: Citrix helped VPT toacquire a company-owned and safeCloud Technology, After release, staffmembers and external planning engi-neers may get access to the centrallymanaged CADISON® database fromany workplace with a laptop so thatcomplex 3D models can be handled.Even under the aspect of missinghuman resources which we deploretoday already, VPT now has available animportant strategic tool for the safestanding of the company: ”Citrix virtu-ally opens for us the perspective to in-tegrate external planning staff fromhome and abroad efficiently into ourplanning team – so to speak in real timeand not with a more or less large timeloss caused in former times throughshipping and updating of drawings”,stated Mr. Matthias Retterath. Using Cit-rix and CADISON® means that real col-laborative work around the world isdefinitely no longer a problem.

Brief information regarding CitrixCitrix was founded in 1989 and com-

bines virtualisation, network and Cloud-computing technologies in one completeproduct portfolio and permits virtualisedworking environments for users and virtu-alised computer centres for IT divisions.More than 230,000 companies worldwideare using Citrix technologies so that theycan deploy their IT environment rapidly,easy and cost-efficiently. The company witha turnover of 1.6 billion US-Dollars (2009)has 10,000 trading and alliance partners inmore than 100 countries.

”Our design engineers perform their planningwork primarily in the 3D range – and in thiscase the conventional standard solution viaVPN tools and remote desktop is not fastenough for “judder-free” and smooth workflow“(VPT Project Manager Matthias Retterath).

Advantages of VPT’s container concept are plausible. The machine can be pre-assembledand tested in the workshop under defined and clean conditions – this raises quality and reli-ability of equipment to a higher level.

technology trend. Not only in relation touse of social networks but also inrelation to Cloud Computing gainingimportance in combination with growingdata volumes and complex plants. Goodnews even for hardware and IT provider.Even smaller engineering undertakingsmust invest more into their ITInfrastructure since they manage evenlarge-size projects, says Mr. Joshi.

Almost all undertakings are dealingwith the continuity of data in theworkflow (‘interoperability‘). Interfacesnot existing or interfaces with non-sufficient compatibility never ceased tobe one of the crucial points in thebranch. The intra-discipline dataexchange functions perfectly with anintegrated tool like for instanceCADISON® but in case of differentplatforms we still reach limits.

Mr. Joshi states: ”Since plants aregetting more complex on the one handand the global competition to acquireengineering orders is getting harder onthe other hand, all engineering serviceprovider must do the splits that isn’teasy: Cost reduction and increase ofproductivity. He recommends theengineering tool CADISON® as the

With 130 participants from 10nations the ‘CADISON® InternationalConference 2011‘ had been sointernational as never before. Theselected place of the conference of thisyear had been the ‘darmstadtium‘ in thecentre of the university town Darmstadtas a perfect meeting point for science,economy and culture with a high levellectures and discussions. Even thesymbolic force was correct: While thechemical element darmstadtium with theordinal number 110 is formed from theconnection between one lead and onenickel ion so interesting new propertiesare developed, the conference informedthe audience how ITandFactory withpartners like Citrix help the engineeringtool CADISON® to acquire attractive newfeatures.

From technology trend to marketdrivers

When specialists of a specifictechnical branch come together, themost interesting question is: What arethe news on the market? Mr. Ajit Joshi,Managing Director of ITandFactoryGmbH detects in the engineering world-wide similar developments with plantdesigners and operators: He considersthe ”digital wave“ as the most essential

current solution since it can bedemonstrated that efficiency isincreased by at least 30%. Projectexamples from national and internationalCADISON® clients show that this is notonly wishful thinking.

Paradigm change for planning toolsMr. Ketan Bakshi, Chairman of

ITandFactory and manager of theNeilsoft-Group but also majorityshareholder of ITandFactory GmbH(another shareholder is the engineering-service provider Triplan AG), even thinksabout a paradigm change in enginee-ring. He summarizes his ideas under theslogan ”Transform engineering – createbusiness value‘ (from engineering toentrepreneurial net product)”.

Mr. Bakshi states: ”Customers wantto create their products faster and withlower costs. Therefore they needsupport: Solution providers thataccompany them in this phase that thedesired target can be reached together.“He promises: Even CADISON® R11helps the design engineer to save some750 engineering hours for theimplementation of an average project. Incase of R12 to be introduced on themarket in the middle of 2012, the

Plant construction projects are more frequently characterized by internationalisation. This means on the one side dis-tributed project processes exceeding culture and time limits and on the other side shorter project life spans. The keyword for that is: Time-to-Market. How can we assure quality and manage the costs under those circumstances? Thishad been one of the central isues of the ”CADISON® International Conference 2011“. As the congress report reveals,there had been interesting contributions.

engineer may savefurther 1000 engineering hours.

Moreover, IT provider should be ableto develop customer-specific tools. Heunderlines: ”ITandFactory is small andflexible enough to provide this”. Thefigures are clear: In the past three yearsITandFactory invested additional 15%per year in product development. In thelast six months alone the undertakingincreased its development capacity byone third.

Moreover: The cooperation ofNeilsoft and Triplan in the joint societyITandFactory will ensure that allcustomers will benefit from the globalknow-how and the long-yearinternational experiences of engineeringspecialists from Neilsoft and Triplan. Thiswill include assistance in the migration ofinventory data (AutoCAD, paperprintouts) into the 3D models ofCADISON®.

What will be the development trendof CADISON® in the coming years? Mr.Bakshi states: ”The focus will be clearlyshifted from engineering efficiency toplant efficiency what definitely means:The optimum energy and water footprintwill be in the centre. We shall offer therequired tools for giving support to thedesign engineer in this new orientation –such as search assistants giving supportto the design engineer responsible forthe purchase of components. EvenCloud technologies will be used moreintensively in order to optimizecooperation within the whole supplychain. Last but not least smart tools arerequired that may actually support thedesign engineer in the design of aplant.“

Efficient planning processes throughmodularization

In this connection Professor Dr.-Ing.Gerhard Schembecker from TUDortmund presented an interestingapproach. His initial point: The growing


globalization increases the pressure onthe chemical industry in Western Europe.Even specifically in Germany the focusmust be increasingly shifted to theproduction of special chemical productsand pharmaceuticals. These productgroups are manufactured in smallbatches but many and complex reactionsteps. The slogan is applicable here aswell: Time-to-market is getting more andmore critical.

”Nevertheless we are stillconstructing so as if the plants aremega-plants, which it takes an averageof 10 years up to commissioning.“ But inthis period of many years the basicassumptions regarding the salespotential are frequently changing etc. asa result of the simple fact that the marketshave changed. ”Therefore we need afundamentally different plant designphilosophy“ says Mr. Schembecker. Herecommends standardized modules withone independent process engineeringfunction in each case that, in principle,can be used again. These modules arefiled knowledge-based and in the form ofa decision tree in a data base. ”It shouldbe our target that the system shows thedesign engineer in the development of aPiping and Instrumentation Diagram(P&ID) which variant will produce whichcosts.“

The design engineer receives onlyan 80% solution as result but this solutionis available very quickly. Can we acceptan 80% solution? Of course, says Mr.Schembecker: ”In case of such acorridor planning under the aspect ofplant output we might have to accept10% higher investments but these arepeanuts in comparison with costadvantage due to the enormous time

saving. We start production muchearlier.“

Citrix: The access of CADISON®

through the CloudCitrix was founded in1989 and

combines virtualization, network andCloud computing technologies in onecomplete product portfolio thatgenerates virtualized operating worldsfor users and virtualized computingcentres for IT division. More than230,000 companies worldwide are usingCitrix technologies in order to developthe IT environment rapidly, easily andcost-efficient. The undertaking with aturnover of 1600 million US-Dollars(2009) has 10,000 commercial andalliance partners in more than 100countries.

Among them is even ITandFactorywith CADISON®. The advantage: Whenusing the Citrix technology a localgraphic workplace is not ultimatelyrequired for work with compute-intensivegraphic. The design engineer hasaccess independent of the location tohigh-efficiency workstations even with alaptop.

If a user gets registered on itscomputer via the Web-Interface ofXenDesktop, the access gateway first ofall checks the safety features of the

terminal unit. The user will be granted thecorresponding rights to use applicationsand documents depending on the user’swork on a company-owned computer, itsprivate PC or from on a computerinstalled e.g. in an Internet-Café.

From the view of a plant designengineer and/or operator the centralprovision oft he virtual desktops mainlyoffers the advantage of of the rapidknow-how transfer: Citrix makes itpossible that national and internationalparticipants in one project are able towork together much closer and moreefficiently.

The conclusion: The use of Citrix andCADISON® R11 ensures that the actuallycollaborative work around the globe isdefinitely no longer a problem.ITandFactory wants to take up a bet eventoday already that all plant designengineers working with CADISON® mayincrease their efficiency by at least 30%.The reports of national and internationalCADISON® customers presented on thecongress reveal that the bet risk is keptwithin tight limits. The developmenttargets presented on the ‚CIC 2011‘show that the management fixesstandards that are still higher. Last butnot least a paradigm change is standingbefore: CADISON® is on the way fromengineering efficiency to plant efficiency.
