Process optimization in order to reduce:
- time wasting
- risk of errors
At the beginning of 2011 The Sesto San Giovanni ABB division, pushed by the competitive attitude of the market in recent years, identified the necessity to adopt an advanced instrument for the layout of process diagrams, so far developed through standard instrument such as AutoCAD.
“The main drawback of this approach” Gabriele Patrì P&ID’s Manager of ABB explains “was represented not so much by the lack of dedicated graphic instruments, but rather by the impossibility to check on the congruity of the components on the diagram with the piping classes and by the necessity to provide the lines, valves and equipment lists in the manual mode”.
