PAS has integrated SmartPlant Instrumentation with PAS' Integrity Automation Configuration Management (ACM) software to provide Configuration Visualization, Change Management Reporting, and Configuration Integrity Checks. As a result, customers may easily track signal flow from any instrument through all automation assets and advanced applications utilized in process plants today. Integrity ACM software brings visibility to otherwise intangible assets enabling the consistent implementation of best practices for optimal lifecycle management. SmartPlant Instrumentation is the instrument data management solution within Intergraph SmartPlant for Operations and Maintenance solutions. SmartPlant Instrumentation delivers instrument loop diagrams and datasheets that allow operations and maintenance personnel to use accurate data to reduce the cost of plant maintenance. The integrated solution delivers increased safety and reliability for operating plants. Operators and instrument technicians can access real-time views of how each instrument is connected to the infrastructure at the plant site and verify the data for consistency, providing information necessary to avoid inadvertent shutdowns, production and quality losses that may otherwise result when instrumentation data points are taken offline for maintenance. Additionally, the integrated solution offers a 20-25% productivity increase for control engineers and other automation professionals working at the plant site. According to Shelly Leedy, President of ENGlobal Automation Group, Inc., "We currently integrate both SmartPlant Instrumentation and PAS' Integrity software on projects as tools to deliver results for our clients. There is no other tool available today that can integrate information across control systems and their subsystems to yield such savings, while helping improve overall job quality." PAS CEO Eddie Habibi stated: "We are very excited about the opportunity that this relationship with the world's leading instrumentation database supplier provides. By working together we provide customers a better configuration management solution, including automated LoopSheets from instruments to advanced applications." Intergraph Process, Power & Marine Executive Vice President Patrick Holcomb added: "This offering from PAS brings immediate benefit to over 500 operating plants currently using PAS ' Automation Configuration Management solutions. We are driving value to both Intergraph's and PAS' customers by providing an integrated solution that offers a broader range of features than the individual point solutions."
