Implementing MPDS4 -
Product Adoption Benefits


Save time and costs, improve project efficiency, bring non-3D users on board, and improve process integration because:

The software is modular, meaning you only buy the components you require
The software is quick to install
Project databases and users are easy to administer with dedicated Project Data Management tools
Standard parts catalogs are included
The software is easy to learn, even for 2D users
The user interface and tool trays are customisable
MPDS4 can be integrated with existing ERP and PDM systems for data and process continuity and consistency

MPDS4 is a flexible, customisable plant design system which integrates with existing CAD, ERP and PDM software

Using MPDS4 -
Benefits for Design and Project Teams


Improve and shorten corporate design processes, increase productivity, improve project quality, improve communication with suppliers, avoid on-site construction errors, and control and cut project costs because:

Designers can work in a multi-user environment, concurrently across locations
The systems handles and displays extremely large plants with ease
Rules-based and specification-driven design supports corporate standards
Global collaboration is controlled through user access permissions
Version and change management tools are provided
Designs are consistency-checked based on your guidelines
Automatic soft and hard space clash detection is provided as standard for all disciplines
Customisable reports and parts lists are provided as standard for all disciplines
Engineering review walk-throughs can be conducted directly in the 3D design environment
You can easily import existing 2D building layouts and quickly create 3D buildings from them
Supplier data (e.g. 3D machinery models) can be integrated through high quality interfaces
2D detail drawings can be automatically generated from your models
Automatic piping isometric production with the interface to ISOGEN™ saves huge amounts of time

With MPDS4 FACTORY LAYOUT you can build complete 3D plants, like this manufacturing facility, directly from a 2D layout – with 2D symbols representing existing 3D model files.

Selling and Communicating with MPDS4 -
Benefits for your Sales Teams and Project Managers


Impress customers, gain more orders, decrease turnaround time, and improve customer communication because

You can easily create 3D concept or pre-sales designs based on 2D layouts from clients
Walk-through videos can be prepared inside the design for client presentations
The Factory Layout module makes it easy to present and make design changes in meetings, in 2D or 3D
Any data used for pre-sales concepts and visualisations can be used in the main project phase
You can export complete plants to an e-mailable format for fly-through inspection with an external tool by customers or other project stakeholders

CAD Schroer offers plant engineering software and modelling and customisation services

Integrating MPDS4 -
Benefits of a Flexible, Customisable Engineering Solution


Increase competitiveness by creating an integrated project engineering framework, optimising and integrating your corporate processes, systems and data through a customisable, flexible system that supports the way you work best because

MPDS4 is highly customisable and extensible with an open systems architecture and powerful programming languages
You can add corporate or project-specific modules, customisations or catalog components as required
The system is multi-lingual and runs on multiple platforms in support of your systems strategy
The interfaces available make it easy to exchange data with partners worldwide
CAD Schroer's engineering experts can develop specific solutions to partially or fully automate your unique design process
