Intergraph SmartPlant integrated in PAS
Integrity
Intergraph SmartPlant Enterprise plant configuration solution, integrated with the PAS Integrity/DOC4000 will improve plant operations management with a consolidated view of the control infrastructure
The consolidated, up-to-date view of the plant control infrastructure - from instrument to advanced control scheme - will give process industry users the ability to: make faster and better-informed decisions based on a single view of the plant infrastructure, keep engineering data synchronised with changes to control system configurations, navigate multi-system configurations for troubleshooting or optimisation of the real-time controls, reduce costs by automating creation of consolidated loop sheets and other documentation In addition, engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) companies and new customer locations benefit from shortened SmartPlant Instrumentation set-up time with the new ability to "reverse-load" instrumentation data from existing control systems via PAS Integrity, the precursor to DOC 4000

BASF selects PAS alarm management software
BASF has selected PAS alarm management software for its enterprise-wide alarm management initiative.
The plant configuration solution of SmartPlant Enterprise, an open engineering design and data management software suite, helps users better manage and store instrumentation and control data.
The PAS DOC4000 product family is a configuration management solution that logs and reports all changes to the real-time infrastructure used to maintain and operate plants for optimal performance and safety of operations.
Changes are presented automatically and securely, via intuitive web-based views.
DOC4000 provides up-to-date loop diagrams and data flow maps on which operations, maintenance and safety personnel can rely.
"The integration of SmartPlant Instrumentation and DOC4000 will provide plant owners and EPC customers with a complete picture of plant dynamics to make better operational decisions," said Eddie Habibi, PAS founder and chief executive officer: "As a result, plant operators will lower their operational risks, reduce production interrupts and increase plant safety".
"This product integration will provide our customers with a new capability to improve operations efficiency and keep their instrumentation documentation in sync with the very frequent changes to control systems," said Patrick Holcomb, Intergraph Process, Power and Marine division executive vice president.
The product integration will be rolled out to customers in phases.
First prototype release planned for summer 2008.
