inde Engineering Vision – Step change in productivity

With PDS, we have reached a point, where no further

productivity increases are possible
We face strong competition with low cost engineering
centers

 Integrated Engineering and design solutions

 Effective re-use of design data
 Effective global engineering functionalities
 Rule driven design and design automation
 Integrated workflow and data management

 Consideration and
Recommendations
Considerations
 Significant change for users groups
 Training (e-learning & class room)
 Work share concepts
Define workflow for
data management & control
 Suitable deployment strategy
Linde AG Engineering Division
Recommendations
 Release mature software
versions
 Don’t dismiss valuable PDS
functionality!
 Compensate shortcomings of
SP3D with consultancy
 Bring the customers together
to push concerted evaluations
and developments.
 Join EPC contractor in
converting PDS into SP3D
