DuPont standardizes on Bentley OpenPlant
Bentley Systems, Incorporated, the leading company dedicated to providing comprehensive software solutions for sustaining infrastructure, today announced that E. I. du Pont de Nemours and Company (DuPont) has standardized on Bentley OpenPlant to improve its processes for managing and updating intelligent piping and instrumentation diagrams (P&ID) critical for contract and regulatory compliance. DuPont made its selection after conducting a rigorous Six Sigma vendor evaluation process, which determined that Bentley is uniquely able to support a fully integrated, open, ISO 15926-based workflow for process, instrumentation, and electrical plant operations that can be rapidly implemented. Bentley OpenPlant PowerPID was selected as the software for its ease of use, power, and affordability. As a result, DuPont is now using OpenPlant PowerPID to support initial projects at plants in the North American and Asia-Pacific regions, and anticipates time and cost savings from enhanced information sharing.
William Ellsworth, 2D CAD integration leader, Engineering Systems, DuPont, said, “Our evaluation determined that OpenPlant PowerPID is the best tool on the market for producing and maintaining P&IDs. Its powerful and friendly user interface helps us build intelligent P&IDs in an accessible and open format so as to be readily used by our EPC partners and operations and maintenance personnel. We find value in a contractor’s ability to work with intelligent P&IDs to more efficiently perform design, and deliver more actionable information back to us, and therefore will recommend the use of Bentley OpenPlant PowerPID.”
Anne-Marie Walters, Bentley global marketing director, said, “DuPont manages plants throughout the world and, like many other owner-operators of process facilities, relies heavily on P&IDs in its operational workflows. Therefore, processes and technologies to help it manage those P&IDs are crucial to its success in sustaining and optimizing plant operations. Only Bentley OpenPlant offers shared information in an open environment through its use of an ISO 15926 intrinsic data model, as specified by the iRING user community, to effectively support drafters, engineers, project managers, and other team members in a distributed environment. At the same time, it provides cost-effective P&ID management, plus excellent user training and an extremely friendly user interface to get new users productive quickly.”
