Advantages of Smart Plant Instrumentation (SPI) So there is less chance of error, which makes maintenance easy. These data are consistent, accurate, and current. The operator can easily access P&ID and instrument data simultaneously while operating the plant. Operations and Maintenance – SmartPlant Instrumentation along with SmartPlant P&ID acts as a single data package. SmartPlant Explorer is more towards mark-up capability via the online Web. The contractor can start construction for the control panel and can modify it whenever required by simply modifying the database.Ĭommissioning – With the help of SmartPlant Explorer along with SmartPlant Instrumentation users can access data and test loop continuity.

Warehouses can easily maintain the purchase and change-over records in SmartPlant Materials, which makes procurement hassle-free.Ĭonstruction – The user can extract control panel drawing from the database. Procurement – Design data can easily be transferred from SmartPlant Instrumentation to Intergraph’s SmartPlant Materials, which can shorten the procurement cycle. Vast two-way integration with other software (like AutoCAD, Microstation, etc.) even with vendors (like Yokogawa, Emerson, etc.) to reduce manual entry and design time. By creating various engineering rules this software maintains data integrity. This software assures data accuracy, persistent deliverables, effective and optimized change management system. SPI contributes to Engineering and Design, Procurement, Construction, Commissioning, Operations, and Maintenance.Įngineering and Design – SmartPlant Instrumentation helps to manage and create instrumentation data in a discrete database, which facilitates faster, synchronal engineering to reduce project manhours and cost. SmartPlant Instrumentation gains value for instrument-related workflow throughout the life cycle of the plant. How SmartPlant Instrumentation (SPI) contributes to the plant life cycle? SmartPlant Instrumentation makes it easy to get accurate data quickly. Instead of finding and re-typing in SPI, you can easily access vendor data, for example, I/O card details for DCS, instruments under vendors’ scope like E+H, or valves from Rosemount/Emerson.

Vendor data and catalog access are rapidly becoming more important to drive productivity and engineering design quality.
