OVERVIEW

What is OpenPlant PID? What is OpenPlant PID used for?

OpenPlant PID is an easy-to-use, data-driven application for the rapid production of Produce intelligent piping and instrumentation diagrams (P&IDs). You can capture and reuse information in an open format. OpenPlant PID helps you reduce the time required to create your critical documents and enables the sharing of all process information across the lifecycle of your asset.

Now you can increase design collaboration and operations efficiency with software that makes P&IDs widely accessible through the ISO 15926 open data schema. Improve productivity and safety with P&IDs that link to operational systems and accurately reflect the as-built plant.

Accelerate your plant design process and deliver more accurate P&IDs to operations.

Rapid creation of intelligent P&IDs
OpenPlant PID allows you to generate P&IDs with components verified against valid piping specifications. Computational drafting routines are used to speed drawing generation. Task-based navigation and other advanced user interface features make the system easy to learn and use.
Stand-alone or integrated P&ID creation
You can work with OpenPlant PID as a stand-alone application for smaller projects. However, to truly unlock savings on a project, connect OpenPlant PID to Bentley iTwin Services and PlantSight to support distributed teams, utilize component based workflows, and track and manage changes. A digital twin ensures consistent and up-to-date engineering information across the design phase with continuous handover into operations.
Consistent and accurate components
Component validation can be done in OpenPlant PID, so you will always know that drawings are consistent and accurate. You can select from one of the available persistence modes to determine when the rules are run – immediately, on a timed basis, or on user request.

When a rule finds a component in an invalid design state, the component is flagged for follow up. The flagging is user configurable such that it could appear on the drawing in several different forms. Company-specific rules can be added and separated from the open data model, giving organizations the flexibility to create their competitive edge.
Strong version control and clear project history
P&IDs are consistently being revised, and it is important to track changes down to the attribute level to ensure regulatory compliance. OpenPlant PID allows you to save revisions or versions of drawings through the Design History feature. All revisions are saved, even after a revision rollback, so you can restore them to their original starting point.
Standard symbols and assemblies
To speed the P&ID development process, OpenPlant PID includes a comprehensive set of industry standard symbols for equipment, piping, instruments and instrument lines. To further speed P&ID creation, OpenPlant PID includes a component management capability that supports symbol customization and readily modifies the data and tag numbers of the assembly components. For KKS users, there is a separate workspace available for download in order to work with that tagging convention. Additional content will continue to be added through integration with Bentley’s Components Center.
Increased project overview and insight
Data integrity and data access are becoming more important to clients as standards compliance becomes a bigger business driver. OpenPlant PID includes a powerful browser that allows you to see a full list of all components in the drawing and their relationships to one another. It also allows you to visualize and edit any of the data associated with the components on the drawing. Valve lists, line lists, instrument lists, equipment lists, and more are all key pieces of information for project scope and costing. OpenPlant PID provides a robust reporting system in product that includes the ability to export to Microsoft Excel. Detailed project-wide reporting is available through iTwins Services and PlantSight web capabilities. Task-based navigation and other advanced user interface features make the system easy to learn and use.
