Benefits of plant design software like the Plant 3D toolset in AutoCAD include centralized project data and BIM workflows, such as automated drawing generation based on the 3D model, spec-driven piping, and P&ID creation.
Process plant engineering involves the design, development, construction, and operation of industrial facilities to produce materials or chemicals on a large scale. It aims to optimize processes, ensure safety, select suitable equipment, and manage projects efficiently. The field spans industries like oil and gas, water/wastewater, power generation, pharmaceuticals, semiconductors, and food and beverage processing. Engineers collaborate across disciplines like chemical, mechanical, electrical, and civil engineering to achieve efficient and cost-effective production while adhering to safety and environmental standards.
Plant engineering software is used by a wide range of professionals, ranging from plant engineers responsible for overall plant design and operation, process engineers optimizing industrial processes, and mechanical, civil, and electrical engineers designing specific systems within the plant. For example, the Plant 3D toolset, included as part of AutoCAD, enables plant designers to create and edit piping and instrumentation diagrams (P&IDs), and to generate and modify process plant models, which they use to produce piping isometrics and piping orthographic drawings.
In addition, project managers, engineering services, compliance managers, operations managers, engineers, on-site staff, and executive decision makers use software to monitor and optimize plant operations. For example, Autodesk Info360 Plant is a cloud-based operational analytics solution designed for water and wastewater treatment plants to improve real-time data analysis and enable workflows associated with performance, compliance, and improvement planning.
A digital twin is a virtual replica of a physical asset that is updated in real time to represent its live characteristics. It is a virtual reality where process plant engineers can experience and ask what-if questions to simulate scenarios to help them solve problems, train staff, meet challenges, increase efficiency, reduce expenses, and improve service.
New software as a service (SaaS) platforms like the Autodesk Info360 Plant application make it possible for process plants to power digital twin initiatives by converting raw data from SCADA and IoT systems into an actionable dashboard and digital workspaces that you can use to manage critical plant events, incidents, and KPIs. It unifies plant data in the cloud and applies sophisticated analytics, data modeling, and alerting tools to make operational information more accessible, reliable, and actionable.
Info360 Plant is a cloud-based operational analytics solution within the Info360 platform designed specifically for water and wastewater treatment plants, water utilities, and industrial owned plants to improve real-time data analysis and enable workflows associated with performance, compliance, and improvement planning.
As a workflow solution with enterprise-level technology, it enables repeatable plant workflows like chemical process sustainability and energy audits, replacing spreadsheets and paper-based processes. Users can access asset performance data and analysis to perform daily operations such as maintenance, sensor calibration, process optimization, and capital improvement planning.
Info360 Plant enables plant owners, operators, and engineers to increase their insights through data to improve operational cost management and overall plant performance, and reduce energy, chemical usage, and environmental impacts.
Plant Design software is used to help plant engineers and designers to design and build models and digital twins in a 3D plant design environment to model piping, mechanical, HVAC, and electrical components primarily in mining, water and wastewater, process, and power generation, in an open, intuitive, and collaborative environment.
