""Advantages in technology, demand for processed products, and the spiraling costs of real estate are all contributing to the need for more compact, complex process designs and better plant management. The list of users who have settled on the Bentley PlantSpace technology reads like the who's who of South African industry,"" according to Tex van Deventer, managing director of Bentley Systems SA.
""Superior design tools, integrated with other disciplines and linked to process intelligence, result in an intelligent 3D model, the most effective tool for planning, constructing and successfully managing the modern facility.""
PlantSpace offers the flexibility to choose the user's preferred route to project completion. Created by plant engineers and designers, it does away with the traditional, expensive tasks of project setup allowing users to focus their skills, information and experience instead of having to grapple with software.
PlantScape technology, which is fully functional across the Internet, also provides Web access to any part of the 3D plant model or drawings, as well as any associated data from a variety of disparate data sources.
""The PlantSpace model control system and adherence to new standards for integration improve interdisciplinary communcations to a degree never before possible,"" concludes van Deventer.
