Product Lifecycle Management—PLM—has historically been associated with manufacturing. Attempts by various vendors to bring the concept and the nomenclature to the Process/Power and AEC industries have not gained traction. But Dassault Systèmes says the owners and developers of capital facility projects are carrying a level of risk other industries would find unacceptable and that PLM offers the tools to make a difference.
Dassault will make the case for PLM in Plant IT next week at the new P3 Conference in Washington, DC, in a session titled, “Product Lifecycle Management for the Process and Power Plants of Today and Tomorrow.” The speaker will be Rolf Gibbels, the Worldwide Industry Solutions Leader, Process, Power & Petroleum – AEC, for Dassault Systèmes.
“Although the power industry builds individual plants instead of thousands of products,” says Gibbels, “PLM practices can be applied in the next generation of power plants. These practices will reduce risks and improve the bottom line of most capital intensive industries, including process and power.”
P3, co-sponsored by AECnews, is a new conference for IT innovation in process and power plant project lifecycle. The conference is Wednesday, December 12 at the Washington Convention Center, Washington, DC. It is co-located with EcoBuild Fall and AEC Science and Technology.
