Huntsville, Alabamha/USA – It's a project of gigantic dimensions: The engineering instrumentation database alone comprises about 150,000 loops, 350,000 instruments and 90,000 data sheets. The central engineering solution, built on Intergraph’s SmartPlant Instrumentation, helped to enforce project standards and best practices among the multiple project contractors, especially during the construction, company speakers explained.

One Plant – One Data Source

SmartPlant Instrumentation provides a single source of plant instrumentation data and includes interfaces with most complementary solutions, such as most automation vendors, for easy access and data consistency. Thereby, the data management solutions contributes to an increased safety, quality, efficiency and productivity, Intergraph believes.
